Lacombe County supports the use of volunteers and community groups to assist in the cleanup of road ditches and communities. Residents, community groups, and businesses are encouraged to participate in cleanup programs organized by volunteers and have several options to consider.

The Community Clean-Up Program is for an organization providing cleaning services by picking up litter within their community.

The Roadside Clean-Up Program is available for organizations to provide cleaning services by picking up garbage in the ditches along the roadway. Lacombe County shall make a donation to the organization in the form of a grant.

The Adopt-a-Highway Program concept allows a group/company/individual to adopt a minimum three-kilometre maximum five-kilometre section of roadway by agreeing to pick the litter once a year, before the end of August. Lacombe County will provide identification signs adjacent to the highway section that will include the group/company/individual's name.

The Milton Morningside Area Structure Plan (ASP) was adopted in 2008.  Since it's adoption there has been a lot of changes within the County, and to the planning policies of the County such as the new Municipal Development Plan 2017.  As such, the Milton Morningside ASP requires a thorough review.

If you have land in or near the plan area or are a resident of the Hamlet of Morningside, this plan affects you.

A Public Meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, May 22nd at 6:30 p.m. (presentation at 7:00 p.m.) at the Lacombe County Administration Office Council Chambers.

The primary objectives of the meeting are to:

• Explain the process being used to prepare and update the plan;
• Explain the existing plan policies and required updates;
• Identify and discuss issues that the plan should address; and
• Gather input from you, the public, on what opportunities you would like to see happen in the plan area.

Please refer to the attached Notice of Public Hearing for further information.
