50 AVE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE:
Construction on 50th Avenue remains on schedule to be completed on October 31, 2024 weather pending.
Crews have made great progress on construction activities!
Here's what the crews have been working on:
1) ATCO relocated the gas line along this stretch of roadway to allow for construction activities to be completed.
2) Bioswales have been constructed along 43rd Street and behind St. Anthony school. Minor work is still ongoing to allow for this to function as per design.
3) Base work on the road structure has been completed up to where concrete structure is constructed.
4) Concrete work has now been completed on all curb, gutters and rain garden structures (45th Street and 43rd Street).
5) Final fill is being placed on the road structure currently and should be completed by Wednesday October 9, 2024, weather pending.
What's next?
1) Asphalt crews will be mobilizing onsite Wednesday October 9,2024 to start paving activities on Thursday October 10, 2024. First lift of asphalt should be in place prior to the long weekend. And paving will continue the week of October 14, 2024.
2) Once paving is complete, landscaping work along the curb, gutters and rain garden structures will commence.
3) Once paving is completed, the line painters will get to work.
We want to thank everyone for your ongoing patience during this construction season!
Next Year
Construction will continue in the summer of 2025 as crews prepare to rehabilitate the section of road from the 43rd Street intersection to Beckett Road. This work is being completed next year as it would have had significant impacts to the schools in the area if we did it all in 2024.
This construction will include the following:
1) Relocation of gas line will commence in the spring of 2025 to prepare for road reconstruction.
2) Road reconstruction will commence immediately following school closure for summer break. This includes: Full removal of road structure, rebuild of subgrade structure, concrete work, and full depth paving activities.
More updates will be provided to the public once crews have organized staging of this work.

The Snow Angels Program is a volunteer initiative where community members volunteer to shovel the driveways and walkways of seniors.
This is an important resource within our community that allows senior residents to safely get out of their homes for appointments, and errands, helping to reduce isolation and increase connection to the community! Last year, our Snow Angels supported 39 local seniors in our community.

We understand there is some confusion regarding ticket sales for this game that was distributed through our schools. The Ticket Sales Team typically send schools in the greater Edmonton area ticket links to games as part of their yearly outreach. This is why the schools received their link first as it was part of the standard season routine. However, as Drayton Valley has been chosen as the Celebrating Oil Country community, the Oilers Entertainment Group is pleased to offer additional tickets at discounted price points to ensure plenty of fans in Drayton Valley can attend the game on November 14!

Ffs. Seems like a waste of tax money scrutinizing the person who was honest enough to apply for this permit. Kids need activities like this let them play.

This initiative must have been from a Brit. We don't call it tipping here. We call it a dump run! Hahahaha
