Nugget is a gentle young cat with a sweet, loving nature, reminiscent of her devoted mother Heart.

 

After being found abandoned with her family in July, Nugget’s calm and trusting spirit has shone through.

 

Among her three sisters, she’s the most tranquil—always eager to curl up in a warm lap.

 

Playful yet serene, Nugget would make a caring companion in any home.

 

She was spayed on October 2 and is fully recovered.

 

With up-to-date vaccinations, a microchip, and a clean bill of health, she’s ready for her next adventure.

 

Nugget blossoms around other playful cats, making her an excellent fit for a household with a feline friend or alongside her sisters—Snowball, Rose, or Smokey.

 

Adoption fees cover comprehensive vet care to ensure Nugget starts her new life healthy and happy.

The Strathcona County RCMP and Enforcement Services hosted their annual 'Cram a Cruiser' food drive on October 9, 2025, supporting the Strathcona Food Bank.

 

Residents filled cruisers with non-perishable food and cash at Superstore, Save-On Foods, and Safeway, reflecting deep community spirit.

 

Tom Sutton, Director of RCMP and Enforcement Services, praised the generous turnout.

 

This year's event surpassed expectations, collecting over 4,700 pounds of food and $900, showing a steady increase in local support.

 

This generosity comes as the food bank faces soaring demand—serving 24,458 people in 2024, a sharp 30% rise from last year.

 

Items such as canned fruit, soup, personal care products, and baby essentials are especially needed this fall.

 

All donations stay within the county, directly benefiting struggling families.

 

With food insecurity on the rise, continued support ensures that no Strathcona County family is left behind.

Alberta’s farming community is showing significant leadership in tackling agricultural waste through innovative recycling programs.

 

The extended ‘Alberta Ag Plastic. Recycle It!’ pilot, running until December 2025, is a prime example, having collected nearly 3.6 million kilograms of recyclable plastics since 2019.

 

This includes both grain bags and twine, sharply reducing landfill waste and promoting eco-friendly practices across the province.

 

Special events such as the Agricultural Waste Round Up in Strathcona County offered farmers free and convenient ways to recycle oil, filters, twine, and more.

 

The Great Twine Round-Up contest rallied impressive community engagement, with Alberta farmers and 4-H clubs together gathering about 16,500 kilograms of twine.

 

Winners like the Rocky South 4-H Beef Club and Hanna Rangeland 4-H Multi Club were awarded for their outstanding efforts, further encouraging innovation and responsibility in agriculture.

 

Through these collective actions, Alberta’s farmers are paving the way for a greener, more sustainable future.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Enforcement Services in Strathcona County have announced their policing priorities for 2025, shaped by local feedback and crime data.

 

The focus will be on family violence and persons crime, property crime, drug enforcement, and traffic safety, including impaired driving.

 

Residents are invited to discuss these priorities at two upcoming town halls: October 27 in Ardrossan at the Recreation Complex, and October 29 in Sherwood Park at the Community Centre, both starting at 7 p.m. with presentations and question periods.

 

Recent police responses in Sherwood Park, including a July incident on Village Drive and an August armed individual at the detachment, highlight the need for these targeted initiatives.

 

Community input remains essential as authorities strive to make Strathcona County safer and more resilient.
