The pedestrian crosswalk at Hwy 9 South and 12 Ave SE is currently experiencing a signal failure. This equipment is under the jurisdiction of Alberta Transportation (AT), and has been reported.

The signal will be out of order until Monday, June 24, at the earliest.

Alberta Transportation is investigating signage for the area for reduced speed limits for vehicles. We ask all residents and visitors to please use caution when driving and crossing the highway until the signal can be fixed. Municipal Enforcement and RCMP will be frequently monitoring the area for additional safety measures.

Pedestrians in the area are encouraged to use the next closest crosswalk available, which is north on HWY 9 South at 9 AVE SE.

Thank you to those who submitted reports to the Town and Alberta Transportation.

Get ready for the 2024 July 1 Parade.

The Drumheller Parade Committee has decided on a theme for your 2024 Parade. We took into account all of the suggestions we received and our theme this year will be “Drumheller, The Dinosaur Capital of the World”. We will also give an honorable mention to Drumheller Rotary celebrating 100 years.
With the huge overwhelming success of the Jurassic Jamboree it was felt that we should keep this excitement and theme for the Parade. We can’t wait to see your ideas come to life.

Minister of Affordability and Utilities Nathan Neudorf issued the following statement in response to an electrical grid alert from the Alberta Electrical Systems Operator:

We are calling on all Albertans to reduce their electric demand immediately to essentials only. Extreme cold resulting in high power demand has put the province’s electricity grid at high risk of rotating outages tonight.

On top of high demand of our own energy generation, Alberta's grid receives electricity from neighbouring provinces. Extreme weather in Saskatchewan and British Columbia is impacting electricity sharing, which is also a contributing factor to tonight's grid alert. The Alberta Electric System Operator has activated its emergency grid management plan to work with local distribution utilities to avoid potential rolling brownouts.

Here are some easy ways to conserve electricity this evening and into the night:

• Turn off unnecessary lights and electrical appliances;
• Minimize the use of space heaters;
• Delay the use of major power-consuming appliances such as washers, dryers and dishwashers;
• Delay charging electric vehicles and/or plugging in block heaters;
• Cook with your microwave, crockpot or toaster oven instead of an electric stove or oven;
• Limit the use of kitchen or bathroom ventilation fans;
• Work on a laptop instead of a desktop computer (laptops are more energy-efficient than desktop units);
• Unplug electric appliances when not in use, as they continue to drain energy even if they’re off (or use a power bar to cut power to multiple appliances with a single button);
• Close your curtains/shades/blinds to cover drafty windows.

Albertans have a history of pulling together in times of emergency. If we all make small changes like those listed above, we can keep each other safe through another extremely cold evening.
