Rural crime watch members,
Please mark your calendars for our next meeting on March 12th. Guest speakers will be presenting on Drones and the regulations and use of them in rural areas. Some of you may have seen drones around the area and overhead, and want to learn more. As always, this is a free meeting and is open to the public.
A full agenda will be published on the website closer to the date. Memberships will be available for purchase, along with property signage displaying the Rural Crime Watch program logos.
The meeting will be held in the Sierra Room at the Cypress Centre on March 12th at 7pm.

Update: The work on this project for 2025 is now completed. Some work will continue on this project in 2026. Thank you for your patience. The County of Forty Mile No. 8 will be undergoing various road upgrades along Rge rd 121 South of Burdett in the month of August 2025.

Various patching operations will also take place from Hwy 3 to Twp rd 90. Please slow down and help keep our crews safe in work zones, expect delays, and use alternate routes if possible. Thank-you
