Viking/Beaver Inter-municipal Committee formally established

The committee will include representatives from both the town and county, with alternating chair positions for meetings.

Old Town of Viking signage for engine brakes replaced after 20 years

The Town of Viking has updated its engine retarder brakes bylaw by installing new signs along highways to prevent noise disturbances caused by commercial vehicles. The signs, addressing community complaints about excessive noise, enhance visibility and reinforce existing regulations. Violations are managed by the bylaw officer, with RCMP support for education and inspections.
