Mr. Premier - Lend Me Your Ear


The stories are manifold, the ‘facts’ contradict each other. Several Ministries are involved. Each MLA, Minister, opposition leader and Councillor has something different to say…why....because the story and the timeline changes on a month by month basis.

Enough is enough. I am tired of rumour and ‘fact’ slinging.

Our Strathcona residents were promised a hospital in the days of Ralph Klein.  Fifteen plus years have passed. Do we need a hospital less with an escalation in population to 88,000 people? With the pronouncement from the Provincial government that parts of Strathcona County are included in the high density growth area? Do we need a hospital less with the growth and expansion of the Industrial Heartland?

It is now time for our Premier, who has enjoyed many years of staunch support from our County, to ‘cowboy up’! I want to know if he is going to honour the promises made by his government.

Mr. Premier - do you support the hospital in Strathcona County? Our residents need a hospital, they were promised a hospital, and above all – they need honesty and transparency. Give us the specific scope of phase 2 and a real timeline. Nothing less will do.

Further, Mr. Premier I call on you and the other MLA’s who are supposed to be representing their Strathcona County residents to meet with the Strathcona County Mayor and Council within the next 15 days to outline the specifics and sign off on it. Do not let this fifteen year old wound fester any longer.

I call upon our residents to send their message loud and clear to the Premier’s office.

Contact information for the Premier is: Phone 780.427.2251; Fax: (780) 632-6888
