The Town of Strathmore is abandoning its

plans to create a consolidated low-density resi-
dential land use district, and will instead change

town’s development services manager, during
the March 10 committee of the whole meeting.
The new district might have created more
problems than it would solve, and would re-
quire tracking and maintenance of another
district under the town’s policy, noted Procter.
Also, developers would still need to apply for a
new land use district.
The town could modify existing land use dis-
tricts as needed, as a short term solution, said
Procter. These modifications, often called dis-
trict overlays or direction control, would be eas-

New vaccination
program phase starts
SEAN FEAGAN
Alberta is expanding its COVID-19 vaccination

program to include more people.
The province has announced Phase 2A of its
vaccination program, making all Albertans 65 to
75 (born between 1956 and 1947) eligible to re-
ceive a vaccination. Also eligble are First Nations,
Métis and Inuit 50 years of age and older (born in
1971 or earlier).
Phase 2A will open vaccinations to 437,000 more
Albertans. But not everyone in these age groups
will be able to book an appointment at first.
Starting March 15, bookings will be first limited
to Albertans born before 1947 and First Nations,
Métis or Inuit individuals living off-reserve or off-
settlement and born in 1962 or earlier. Appoint-
ments will then open for more (younger) people,
one birth year at a time.
This new phase, which started March 15, also
includes staff of licensed seniors supportive liv-
ing facilities who have not yet had a COVID-19
vaccine.
Albertans booking appointments in Phase 2A
will receive either the Pfizer or Moderna CO-
VID-19 vaccine. Appointments can be made on-
line (albertahealthservices.ca) or by calling Health
Link at 811. No-walk ins are allowed.
