Millarville 4-H Multi Club
By Katie Klotz
On November 20th the 4-H multi club had their 3rd meeting. At the meeting we made some of the most amazing alternative meat recipes, such as Bison meatballs, sweet and sour meatballs, lamb meatballs, fried antelope steaks, deer meat flat bread, deer sausage hash, garlic shrimp fettuccini and grilled elk kabobs.
Our next meeting will be in the New Year, our next date to be decided. We had planned on getting together for Laser Quest for Christmas but our members just had too many things going on with their families – maybe next year!
In the meantime, we in 4-H do a program called “Adopt a Family”, where we provide food for families in need in our community. We will send them snacks and treats like granola bars, fruit cups, cookies and lots of other goodies to help them for Christmas.
We hope that all of you have a very Merry Christmas this year and restful holiday season! Happy Holidays from 4H Multiclub!

High River Will Be 50% Larger In 2012
The provincial government has approved the application to annex 1769 acres of land, located on the north end of High River, which will substantially increase the town's footprint. The annexation will take effect January 1st, 2012.
“With the addition of this land, High River will have effectively increased its geographic area by 50 percent,” explained Ian Fawcett, senior policy planner for the town. “This is an incredibly important annexation because it will provide the space needed to meet expected growth over the next 30 years.”
Once the official transfer of land from the MD into the town limits takes effect, homeowners in this area will become town residents. Information will be provided to anyone affected by the new town boundaries and staff will be available to answer any questions.
Town administration is already engaged in a public consultation process to create a Growth Management Strategy for the annexed lands.
“By consulting with the public and all stakeholders, we can work together to create a vision for how this area will be developed,” said Rob Milne, director of development services. “Having a clear plan for growth will provide the framework for expanding our community in an attractive, sustainable way that will benefit current and future High River residents.”
As well as planned public open houses, residents can also participate in the conversation by liking the Facebook page called: High River, Our Community, Our Future and by also completing the online survey available on the Town website at www.HighRiver.ca and following the links: Public Forums/Growth Management Strategy.
