Fire and OHV ban lifted, fire restriction in effect.

Effective today (May 31) at 4 p.m., Sturgeon County and the towns of Bon Accord, Legal and Redwater are under a fire restriction.

The fire and OHV ban issued earlier this month has been lifted; however, open fires – including burn barrels and incinerators – and fireworks are not allowed.

All outdoor fires presently burning must be extinguished. No new burn permits or fireworks permits will be issued, and all permits previously issued remain suspended.

You can use the following:

• recreational firepits for warming or cooking
• OHVs and ATVs
• charcoal/pellet barbecues
• propane/natural gas barbecues
• charcoal/pellet appliances, like smokers
• propane/natural gas appliances, like patio heaters and fire tables
• electric appliances, like smokers
• outdoor fireplaces/chimineas

Sturgeon County/Sandy Beach urges the public to use extreme caution when working or driving in grassy areas and to keep vehicles clean and free of debris as smoldering debris can start fires.

This restriction does not apply to the use of ATVs or OHVs.

REMEMBER Sandy Beach has a policy that states if Sturgeon County has a fire ban Sandy Beach also has - so check Sturgeon County Fire Ban updates here 

Sturgeon County Fire Bans

If the County has revised their bans you can follow suit - our website fire ban might lag in update but as soon as the County's Fire Bans are updated you can follow their direction.

At The May 18 2023 Regular Council meeting it was informally suggested that there will be an open house for Sandy Beach residents to discuss and decide to either YES or NO joining the Transmission Line Phase A project.

Currently Sandy Beach is awaiting a final cost analysis from the Darwell Commission and the County, and as soon as this information is received (at least 10-12 weeks), Council will set up a open house for residents to YES or NO the project.

If there is a poll please vote one vote per roll owner - two roll owners - each may vote.  

It is true that there are on Council a view that there should be a open house regardless of the cost estimates which is deemed irrelevant and a other view that the Village should wait for the cost estimates and THEN have the open house.

Either way the open house will be held BUT no date HAS been SET so monitor the website and DO NOT spread rumours and most importantly stay away from FB.

The open house format will be either "YES" or "NO".

Council might consider a formal vote or ballot on the day and only those attending will be allowed to vote/or a mail out and the results used.  Democratic process and input is key for Council.

NONE of this has been finalized yet as of May 18 BUT information updates will be posted to keep all abreast.

Contact the office if you need clarity.

Alberta Affordability Payments

At The May 18 2023 Regular Council meeting it was informally suggested that there will be an open house for Sandy Beach residents to discuss and decide to either YES or NO joining the Transmission Line Phase A project.

Currently Sandy Beach is awaiting a final cost analysis from the Darwell Commission and the County, and as soon as this information is received (at least 10-12 weeks), Council will set up a open house for residents to YES or NO the project.

If there is a poll please vote one vote per roll owner - two roll owners - each may vote.  

It is true that there are on Council a view that there should be a open house regardless of the cost estimates which is deemed irrelevant and a other view that the Village should wait for the cost estimates and THEN have the open house.

Either way the open house will be held BUT no date HAS been SET so monitor the website and DO NOT spread rumours and most importantly stay away from FB.

The open house format will be either "YES" or "NO".

Council might consider a formal vote or ballot on the day and only those attending will be allowed to vote/or a mail out and the results used.  Democratic process and input is key for Council.

NONE of this has been finalized yet as of May 18 BUT information updates will be posted to keep all abreast.

Contact the office if you need clarity.

Thank you for your help and the Village apologize for the inconvenience caused by a few people who ignore the non use signs and make life miserable for the vast number of respectful residents.
