After getting married in 2017, Lorne and Alida Prins decided they wanted to return to Lacombe County, where Lorne grew up. After living in Edmonton and Vancouver and being separated internationally for work, the two agreed they would pursue any opportunity they could find that would return them to the family farm. The trouble was, what would this opportunity ‘bee’?

At the same time, some local beekeepers that were connected to the family were downsizing their beekeeping operations into retirement. Lorne and Alida were in the right place at the right time. Although the Prins had no background or knowledge in beekeeping, they jumped at the opportunity and have never looked back. 

Alberta Land Titles has seen a lengthy delay in processing change of ownerships for properties in Alberta. This has had an impact on new owners receiving tax notices as municipalities rely on information from Alberta Land Titles.

New owners are encouraged to contact Lacombe County so that a copy of the tax notice can be sent out.

Property owners are still responsible for ensuring taxes are paid by the August 31, 2022 deadline to avoid penalties. (Learn more about paying taxes HERE).

For those who miss out on notifying the County, the Province has introduced a property tax late penalty reimbursement program. Details of this program can be found at: https://www.alberta.ca/property-tax-late-penalty-reimbursement.aspx.

A blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) bloom has been identified in areas of Haunted Lake. Residents living near the shores of this lake, as well as visitors to this lake, are advised to take the following precautions: 

• Avoid all contact with blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) blooms. If contact occurs, wash with tap water as soon as possible. 
• Do not swim or wade, or allow your pets to swim or wade in any areas where blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) is visible.   
• Do not feed whole fish or fish trimmings from this lake to your pets.  
• Consider limiting human consumption of whole fish and fish trimmings from this lake, as it is known that fish may store toxins in their liver. (People can safely consume fish fillets from this lake). 

Lacombe County is conducting a County-wide recruitment campaign for paid-on-call firefighters to serve throughout Lacombe County – specifically in the Alix, Clive, Bentley and Eckville departments.

“Lacombe County recruits throughout the year, as needed,” explained Drayton Bussiere, Lacombe County Fire Chief. “We are looking for some new faces to join our dedicated fire team who provide this crucial first response service for our communities.”

Specifically, Lacombe County is looking for day-time available, paid-on-call firefighters in those communities. This would make an ideal opportunity for self-employed individuals, individuals who work and live in these communities, or individuals at home looking for a rewarding way to be part of the community.
