Residents of Drumheller can expect work to begin very soon to remove and maintain trees and vegetation at Centennial Park behind the Badlands Community Facility (BCF).
Landscape architects are working under a tight deadline to complete removal of senescent trees-which are trees reaching the end of their natural life-while also working on a strategy to manage and increase urban vegetation throughout the valley.
“Any tree removals that need to happen, need to happen before mid-April,” said landscape architect Cristal McLean with Ground Cubed Landscape Architecture.
McLean is one of the main consultants on the project and has a good understanding of the unique landscape and vegetation in the Drumheller Valley, having previously worked on other projects including installation of the metal catwalk structure at the Hoodoos.

A total of $436 million in funding, from both the provincial and federal governments, will be shared among Alberta’s municipalities to offset additional costs incurred due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Funds for the Municipal Operating Support Transfer (MOST) grant are allocated based on each municipality’s population, and many surrounding communities are planning how these funds will be used.
“Right now, all the (Village of Delia’s) equipment is old and mostly obsolete,” Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Tracy Breese told the Mail. “Our council chamber is small, and we are only able to hold six people as per COVID regulations, so we will have to turn people away that may want to attend the meetings.”

While the Town of Drumheller recovers from a spike in COVID-19 cases locally, the province of Alberta is battling a second wave of the pandemic, prompting further measures to be implemented with some restrictions coming into effect as of midnight on Sunday, December 13.
The province-wide restrictions have left some businesses scrambling to accommodate clients prior to four-week closures and implement further restrictions on occupancy capacity ahead of Christmas.
“Our small businesses need additional support, and they need them today,” said Minister of Jobs, Economy and Innovation Doug Schweitzer during the Tuesday, December 8 press conference.
These restrictions have meant most retail businesses must reduce occupancy capacity from 25 per cent under previous regulations, to 15 per cent as of Sunday, December 13. The reduced capacity also applies to places of worship, and virtual or drive-in services are encouraged where possible.
