Park Project Complete

The Park Project has been completed. Thank-you to all the volunteers who took time off from work and the rest of their weekend to help build this park. The weather was perfect and everything went extremely well. The rep from Blue-Imp said he was quite impressed with volunteers from our community. People knew exactly what needed to be done and dove right in to get the task completed. Our community has an excellent mix of skill sets to add to a project like this.

A big thank-you goes out to Mike and Charlotte Satink for coordinating and planning the entire Park Project. Another thank-you goes out to Joanne Teunissen and everyone else who helped with the food preperation. Hopefully we can soon have an online photo gallery of the entire construction process.

New Signs are Installed on Highway 1

The long wait for a sign pointing to Cheadle along the TransCanada highway has finally come to an end. James Gosteli has managed to make headway with the Alberta Government’s Provincial Highway Department. Two signs have been installed for East and Westbound traffic on Hwy #1 (before Hwy 24). Cheadle is often difficult to find for visitors coming from outside the community. The only remaining signs that point to Cheadle are located directly on Hwy 24. Seeing as most traffic comes from Hwy #1, it is understandable that people simply whip past the Hwy 24 turn-off without a second thought. These signs have come as a great relief to people who relied the large Chick-head landmark as an indicator to visitors (which is no long in place). Next time you are out and about check out the sparkling new signage on Highway 1, on the way to Cheadle.

House numbering

  In an effort to organize the community, we are attempting to systemize the community's house numbers. Another reason behind this is for emergency situations. When an ambulance or some other type of emergency vehicle is called to Cheadle, they have no easy way of finding the correct house. This is because many houses are not marked and Cheadle's streets and house numbers are not in Telus and NAVTEQ's systems. A new map has been added to the 'MAPS' page. Please review the information and notify James Gosteli of any discrepancies. We will be working to have this information completed some time late this spring.
