The reeve with the MD of Willow Creek is optimistic that 2026 will be a good year for producers in her neck-of-the-woods.

Maryanne Sandberg believes the current Spring conditions are aligning nicely for a successful Summer.

“Given that our dams are full. We still have a great snowpack up there,” Sandberg reiterated.

“So it will depend on the rains that we usually get here in June, but I’m hoping for an excellent year.”

Sandberg noted that last year was better than the year.

In 2023, and several years prior, many of Alberta’s counties were under agriculture disaster declarations.

The reeve concludes efforts last year by Willow Creek ratepayers to closely monitor their water usage has put them in a good spot this year.
