New public health actions

Temporary measures to reduce transmission and protect our health care system come into effect September 4 at 8 a.m. These public health actions are required due to rising cases and hospitalizations, largely in unvaccinated Albertans.

• Masks are mandatory in all indoor public spaces and workplaces.

• Restaurants, cafes, bars, pubs, nightclubs and other licensed establishments must stop serving alcohol by 10 p.m.

• Employers are recommended to continue work-from-home measures where possible, and to pause or revert plans to have staff return to work.

• Unvaccinated Albertans are strongly recommended to limit indoor social gatherings to close contacts of only 2 cohort families, up to a maximum of 10 people.

46 Avenue W Road Reconstruction Update

This project involved the entire reconstruction and resurfacing of 46 Avenue W between  54 and 57 Street W and a portion of the intersection at 46 Avenue W between 54 and 53 Street (Highway 856).

Replacement of a section of sewer line under 46 Avenue W has been completed.  From August 4 – 6 excavation work between 54 and 56 Street W will commence to upgrade the base and prepare for paving. 
On August 9 and 10 the entire Avenue will be closed for base work.  Once completed the road will re-open for residents to be able to access their properties from 46 Avenue W prior to paving occurring. 
Border Paving will be advising property owners along 46 Avenue W directly on the planned timing of paving after this work is complete.

Alleyways will remain open throughout the construction process allowing residents access to their properties.
We regret the inconvenience and thank all residents for their patience and understanding while these necessary road improvements are done.

Village of Forestburg Swimming Pool Update:

As the temperature keeps climbing, we have had a few folks come into the Village Office to inquire about the status of the repair work at the Forestburg Swimming Pool. 
It seemed an appropriate time to update the community on its’ status.

Like everyone we understand the desire to have the pool open as soon as possible.
  As some of you may be aware, when the original liner was removed last year there was a lot of corrosion of the metal around the skimmers and in the crawlspace that required extensive repairs before the new liner could be installed. 
Once we received the results of an inspection by a structural engineer, we had Battle River Ironworks engaged to complete those needed repairs. 
Unfortunately securing all the necessary supplies and completing the repairs took longer than anticipated and the pool was not ready for the May window for installation that we had arranged with our contracted installer. 
There was additional plumbing work that was needed to be done due to a significant break that occurred over this past winter as well as to reinstall some plumbing that needed to be removed to fix the pool basin. 
We are happy to report that the basin repairs have been completed and signed off by our engineer and that all the plumbing repairs are now complete. 
Unfortunately, we have been advised by our contracted installer that they do not have another opening in their summer calendar and will not be installing the liner this year. 
This was unwelcome news as they had told us that we did have an alternate installation date at the end of summer if they were unable to install the liner in May.

Despite this, we are currently attempting to find another installer that may be able to undertake the liner installation sooner. 
We are contacting other installers that originally bid on our project and also asking them for any referrals they can give us about others that may be able to undertake the installation work in a calendar and cost timeframe that we can accept. 
Please know that we are doing all we can to try and complete the project as soon as possible with the goal of opening our pool as soon as possible.

Please feel free to contact us at the Village Office if you have any further questions.  We thank you for your continued patience and understanding.
