The Village of Myrnam, in cooperation with New Myrnam School, have succeeded in their efforts of deriving clean, pure energy from the sun, reducing our dependency of fossil fuels, and reducing emissions by purchasing and installing two ground-mounted solar panels to add to the roof-mounted solar panel at the Career and Technology Education Centre (CTEC).  

The “Leading Our Community Towards Net Zero” project is focused on converting the Village of Myrnam’s CTEC facility into a net zero electrical energy building. Led by students who have completed a forensic energy audit, the project aims to reduce energy consumption by making energy efficiency improvements on the building’s HRV units. The grid tied solar project received approval from the Village council, and the students have secured funding from grants and local organizations. The installation of the solar array involved planning, construction, and commissioning, and the project’s success will be evaluated through ongoing monitoring of energy usage and production. The project demonstrates a commitment to environmental sustainability and provides insights into the challenges and opportunities of implementing renewable energy solutions in a rural community.

The installation of the solar panels at our village’s CTEC building has opened the eyes and minds of our students and community to the limitless possibilities of alternative energy sources.  The panels will significantly reduce the village’s power bill and will be a major driver in keeping the village viable and sustainable.  By working closely with the school, and even having students attend council meetings, the social consciousness of these young people has been raised to the point where they are enthusiastically brainstorming to introduce new ideas that are eco friendly and environmentally responsible.

Weekly Preparedness Message (provided by Provincial Operations Centre)

Preparedness can be perceived as costly, but unpreparedness is costlier. #BePrepared with these tips now to save you time and money if an emergency were to occur in the future: 

  • When looking to buy, rent, or develop property, find out if it has received disaster financial assistance previously.  
  • Learn the difference between emergencies and disasters to ensure you purchase adequate insurance.     
  • Reduce cyber risk by making it a habit to update passwords, back up data and ensure security software is up-to-date.   
  • Over time, build an emergency kit with items from your home and check thrift shops and dollar stores for deals.   

You can make small changes now to best protect yourself and your loved ones in the future. Break preparedness down into bite-sized steps with Be Prepared Program content and resources

Tax Instalment Payment Program

Would you like to pay your taxes monthly instead of once a year? Check out our Assessment and Taxation webpage and bylaw for more information.

Making Tax and Utility Payments

Many residents who are Servus and ATB customers pay bills online or in person when visiting their bank. Others pay via E-transfer to admin@myrnam.ca. Perhaps you might consider this simple payment option. If you need to pay a bill in person, please deposit you payment in the deposit slot in the front door.

A Word of Caution about Certain Products entering the Sewer System

Many individuals are using laundry pods, sanitary wipes, paper towels and other heavier paper products. Although some of these are described as biodegradable, they do not break down as quickly as toilet paper. These can place a strain on your personal sewers and the Village sewer infrastructure. We recommend that anything other than toilet paper not be placed in the sewer system. Place these securely in disposable bags and include them in your weekly garbage.
