RCMP presentation of the Third Quarter crime statistics

Elk Valley RCMP Cpl. Bob Wright presented crime statistics for the District of Elkford. The report represented some of the calls for police service within the district during the third quarter of 2018.

Elkford Community Fund presentation

Steering Committee Members shared that the Elkford Community Fund is officially established. They acknowledged the generous support from various founding donors, noting that the Committee has surpassed its $25,000 goal. The next step is to apply for matching funding that will help the committee reach its goal of $100,000 endowed before January 1, 2019. The committee requested in-kind and/or monetary support from council to assist with a public display honouring the founding donors. This request will be deliberated at the next council meeting.
