Mr. Blaine Calkins (Wetaskiwin, CPC)Mr. Speaker, I would like to invite you and all members of the House to
visit Millet, the prettiest little town in Alberta. Year after year for over
a decade the town of Millet, in the heart of the constituency of Wetaskiwin
has consistently won provincial and national Communities in Bloom awards.
The Millet and District Museum has been recognized as one of the best of
its kind. The Griffiths-Scott Middle School is the first school in Alberta
to be authorized to fly the UN flag and to do so daily. The renowned Millet
and District Museum and Archives and Visitor Information Centre showcases
interactive displays and artifacts, such as the prized vintage fire wagon.
Special mention was given for the town's commitment to heritage
conservation throughout the community, which speaks volumes about the hard
work and dedication of the members of the Millet and District Historical
Society.
Municipalities throughout Alberta and across Canada strive to meet the
standards set by Millet, but emulating Millet's high standards is not an
easy feat. This picturesque small town of 2,100 has a corps of committed
volunteers who willingly devote their time, energy, skills and creativity to
make Millet the pride of the county.
