Winter Snow Fall Reminder

The Town works hard to ensure that snow removal is completed in a timely manner. For the safety of the community, it is imperative that specific areas are cleared first. As such, the Town follows the Snow Removal Policy as approved by Council.

The Town of Trochu will manage snow removal and ice control operations on Town streets, lanes, sidewalks and trails in the most efficient and economically viable manner in accordance with the established service level priorities.

Private sidewalks bordering private property shall be maintained by the owner of the property and snow and ice shall be cleared from these sidewalks within 48 hours of a storm or snowfall.

Be a Snow Angel and help a needy neighbor or contact the town office for a list of names for hire

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

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.
