The annual Mountain View County Citizenship Awards were handed out to local students recently. Cody Miller (Didsbury), Jolene Graham (Olds Koinonia) and Alison Neale (Sundre) stand with MVC Reeve Bruce Beattie after being presented with their awards at a recent Policies and Priorities Committee meeting.

Kylina Chalack (Hugh Sutherland, Carstairs), Courtney Robertson (Cremona) and Logan Bullock (Olds High) were unable to attend the presentation. Each of the students received a one-time $500 award in recognition of their contributions in each of their communities.

Mountain View County Council has approved and implemented an amnesty program for development that has proceeded without the necessary permits.
