Hello everyone,
We wanted to address some of the feedback we've received about our upcoming mapping project throughout the municipality. We understand your concerns and want to assure you that we're approaching this with the utmost respect for your privacy and full compliance with Canadian laws.
Project Details:
•Fixed-Wing Aircraft for Rural Areas: As in previous 3 to 5 year cycles, we will continue using fixed-wing aircraft to map the bulk of the County with 25 cm resolution air photo before the end of August.
•Drones for Built-Up Areas: Drones will be used in areas where they excel, such as the built-up areas in the hamlets and in 40 Mile Park at 10 cm resolution over the next few weeks.
Uses of the Photos: These photos are incredibly useful for a variety of municipal purposes, including:
•Assisting County Residents and Businesses with questions
•Providing County services
•Infrastructure maintenance and improvement
•Emergency response planning
Why We're Using Drones:
•Cost-Effective: Drones are less expensive to mobilize than fixed-wing aircraft.
•High Resolution: They provide detailed images to help us accurately locate manholes, fire hydrants, drainage areas, parks, curbs, sidewalks and other critical infrastructure.
•Flexibility: Drones can cover small, specific areas more efficiently than larger aircraft.
Your Privacy Matters:
•Your privacy matters: Our goal is not to invade your privacy. We are focused on mapping public infrastructure and enhancing our community services.
•Professional conduct: We’ve hired a professional company that adheres strictly to all Canadian regulations and privacy laws.
We have always been transparent with our mapping projects and have provided landowners with digital photos of their properties upon request in the past. We now share these photos with common mapping providers to benefit everyone in the community by allowing their use by the public at no charge.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Your peace of mind is important to us, and we're here to ensure that this project benefits our community without compromising your privacy.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
Best regards,
County of Forty Mile No. 8

We are fed up with the 17 @nyccouncil members who, while running for office, promised us they would support a ban on horse carriages, but have still not signed on to Intro 573, legislation that would end this for good. We are done with their ridiculous excuses.
@yourVeganStory Agreed! When you’re eating them your cognitive dissonance gets in the way of realizing the absolute unnecessary pain and terror you’re causing!
@JohnOberg This is how it has to be done in order to produce the amount of pig body parts the world demands.
The only solution is to stop demanding them. Align your actions with your morals.
