The municipality had officially imposed a curfew making it unlawful for Sundre children and youth 15 years of age and younger to be in a public place in town without a parent or legal guardian present between the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. Councillors had given final reading to the bylaw during that week’s meeting. Any child found in violation of the bylaw could be taken by a peace officer to the child’s home or referred to an appropriate agency, with the officer informing the child’s parents or guardians in writing about the offence with the option to charge the parents or guardians, starting with a $100 fine on a first offence. The bylaw had been drafted to replace the existing youth bylaw, said interim CAO Ryan Leuzinger. In an earlier presentation to council, Const. Abe Letkeman, who co-wrote the new bylaw, said the rules might help prevent vandalism and other mischief.

The Sundre and District Recycling Society held its gala opening ceremonies on May 24 to start off the recycling project, with about 250 people coming out to show their support. President Mike Kapiczowski attended with fellow board members, who were commended throughout the evening for their effort over the past two years. They were vice-president Susan Dziadek, Karen Tubb, Ray Kroll, Fred Kessler, Gladys Cummins, Pat Fisher and Brian Vanderzwan. Special guests and speakers included Ralph Klein, then minister of environment, and MLA Roy Brassard, associate minister of family and social services, as well as Sundre’s mayor Terry Leslie and Mountain View County reeve John Grimstead. The dignitaries helped the society’s president officially launch the program by placing recyclable items into a blue box. The blue box kick off campaign was a part of the activities and 66 of the society’s 650 boxes had been sold to town residents that evening, as well as an additional 20 to rural residents in preparation for the start of the program the following week.
