Congratulations Barry !

Mayor Barry Kletke of the Town of Trochu has received Alberta Municipalities Distinguished Service Award.
Born in Trochu in 1964, Barry has dedicated his life to his community. Barry was a key advocate for the Kneehill Regional Partnership, always believing in the collective good. He supported the central Medical Clinic in Three Hills and has been instrumental in recruiting doctors to the region.
Since 2008, Barry has worked tirelessly to bring a new Senior Supportive Living Facility to Trochu, with construction starting this fall. He also played a crucial role in modernizing the K-12 school.
Barry’s vision for economic growth has made Trochu a leader in attracting foreign workers and investors. His efforts have brought numerous achievements, including the “World’s Largest Golf Tee” and being part of the Olympic Torch Run route.
When a fire led to layoffs affecting 20% of the town’s population, Barry created the Emergency Relief Fund to support those in need. Barry’s leadership and commitment have profoundly impacted Trochu and is an inspiration to all.
Congratulations, Barry! #ABmunis

Land Use Bylaw

Some changes between the new Bylaw and the previous one include:

  • No Development Permits required for some signs, fences, minor home occupations, and solar panels;
  • Increased ability of the Development Officer to relax regulations to a certain point;
  • Slight dwelling density increases in residential districts, such as allowing Duplexes in the R-1 District;
  • Creation of a new District type (R-1S Small Lot Residential) for potential future use;
  • Greater detail and more allowance for the construction of Accessory Dwelling Units (basement suites, garage suites, garden suites, etc.);
  • Removal of telecommunication structures regulations (a new Telecommunication Structure Policy has been created separately)

 

Recycling Tips

Our recycling schedule is every 2nd Friday – watch Facebook & Newsletters for dates.

Use string to tie large bundles of cardboard  – it gets windy here.

Place recycling in clearly marked containers at the curb – must be in designated space or it could get missed.

Trochu Transfer Site

When delivering waste to the Trochu Transfer Site, please have your materials sorted.

There are several different areas for a variety of collection.  Electronics, small appliances/electrical items, paint cans, propane bottles, aerosol cans, batteries, large appliances, freon appliances, tires, cardboard, newsprint, wood and other burnable pits, and a metal pile are all available.  This is in conjunction with the bins for normal household garbage.  Furniture bins are brought in every May for the full month.

All transfer sites are required to follow guidelines set forth by the Alberta Government.  Some items are not accepted at this Transfer Site and will need to be taken to Drumheller Landfill or possibly another Landfill will accept them.

Thanks for your cooperation.
