What are they up to?
No, we’re not being invaded by aliens, they are members of your local volunteer fire department participating in a simulated incident involving very dangerous chemicals.
The purpose of the training, which took place in early June, was to better prepare the Lesser Slave Regional Fire Service (Hall 1) in responding to incidents involving hazardous material. Part of the training required firefighters to respond in level A suits to contain chemicals
”Now we have a dangerous goods team which is going to be able to respond in our area,” says Jamie Coutts, Fire Chief.
Slave Lake Town Council recently gave approval to raise the level of service for Hall 1 to respond to hazardous materials at an operational level. Volunteer Firefighter Jim Meldrum says this approval was recognizing the fact that the Fire Department already responds to a number of incidents each year that involve hazardous materials.
The training was attended by over 20 volunteer firefighters from Slave Lake, Widewater, Smith, Wabasca, and Spirit River. The training included 2 days of classroom instruction and 2 days of practical skills and real life simulated scenarios.
Firefighters will now have the skills and equipment to safely come into close proximity to toxic spills in order to contain hazardous materials and to prevent further contamination or spreading to areas where it may harm people or property.
Training was provided by Curtis Myson, a dangerous goods specialist for the Railway Association of Canada, who has responded to numerous industrial, railway and highway dangerous goods incidents.
“Slave Lake and area is fortunate to have a number of very dedicated volunteers willing to sacrifice free time to obtain training and to respond to all incidents at any time of the day or night to help serve our community and to make it a better place to live,” said Meldrum.
Tragic accident at weekend fishing tournament
A 42- year old Slave Lake man drowned Sunday after the boat he was in overturned during a weekend fishing tournament
Owen John Ostopchuk and a passenger were in the boat when it flipped near Spruce Point Park and police say waves at the time of the incident were estimated to be six or seven feet high.
In a Press release, High Prairie RCMP say that they received a complaint of a boat that had flipped over on Lesser Slave Lake. They responded to find a unconscious male, who was not wearing a life jacket, on the lakeshore. Police, bystanders and EMS attempted CPR but were unsuccessful. The second passenger, who was wearing a life jacket, was treated at Slave Lake Hospital and later released.
“Both men were brought to shore by two individuals who donned life jackets and swam out to provide aid and both men should be commended for their act of bravery,” said Cpl. Barry Ledoux.
RCMP are continuing their investigation into the circumstances of the accident.

Alberta fish derby turns tragic
Model Linsay Willier still in the running after Episode 6
Linsay Willier, Edmonton Model from Sucker Creek First Nation is still in the running for Canada’s Next Top Model. On Episode 6, Tuesday, June 30, Linsay got photo of the week and Heather was eliminated.
On Episode 5 Willier landed in the bottom two for the second week in a row but Rebeccah, a 19-year old from Cambridge, Ontario was the one sent packing.
Only 4 models are left and Linsay is one of them. Episode 7 takes place Tuesday, July 7 at 8 pm on CTV.
Can Linsay survive? More than 2,000 people, many of whom say they’re from Northern Alberta, hope so and have joined a Facebook fan site to cheer her on.
In a quote from the Edmonton Journal Willier says, “I think I’m Canada’s Next Top Model because I can do this job well and I think I’m wicked at it. And I think there (are) a lot of things I’d like to do with this opportunity.”
Willier, a regular model for the Edmonton Journal, is a recent graduate of Grant MacEwan College and was chosen as one of the finalists for Canada’s Next Top Model earlier this year.
Over 4,000 women across Canada auditioned for the popular TV show. The casting tour began January 16 in Vancouver and hit major shopping malls in Edmonton, Halifax, Montreal and Toronto.
Canada’s Next Top Model will win a contact with Elmer Olson Modeling Agency, a $100,000 beauty contract from Proctor and Gamble and will appear in a feature editorial spread in “Fashion” magazine.
