looking forward to joining that trend in munic- ipal waste management and anticipate that it will produce some positive results here in the community.” In summation, Derricott points out some of Edson’s other attractions: “We are well situated in terms of our natural endowments,” he de- clares. “We have this incredible ability to inter- act with nature and the wilderness. Some of our recreational activities are camping and ATVing, and snowmobiling.We’re only an hour and a half from Jasper, so we get out there as often as possible. Our Edson Cycling Association is in the process of building a world-class skills track at our local nature park, just a few kilometers out of town, where people can enjoy 20 kilometers of mountain biking trails. And soon, there will be a skills and technical park for the amateur all the way up to the high skill level. “And one of the most well-known commu- nity events in August every year is the Kins- man Club’s Slo-Pitch Tournament, which, at its height, was attracting as many as 250 Slo-Pitch teams from communities as far away as Cali- fornia.We have 24 diamonds and many people come to participate in the tournament, every year. It’s a really important and fun community event.” EDSON, ALBERTA n New Construction n Additions & Renovations n Maintenance n Service Calls Now Offering Lutron Custom Power Blinds & Home Automation 1-587-772-1517 calum@currentelectricalsolutions.com n del@currentelectricalsolutions.com www.currentelectricalsolutions.ca Bob: 403-994-1753 | Kelly: 403-994-1683 SUNDRE HIGH MOUNTAIN HOE SERVICE Deep utilities contractor PREFERRED VENDORS n Current Electrical Solutions www.currentelectricalsolutions.ca n High Mountain Hoe Service Co.
