Reimbursing taxpayers for damage?? Good grief Joyce. Do your homework and plant vegetation that the deer don't like. I have a beautiful front garden every year and the deer don't bother with it because I did a small amount of research. The only invasive species here are the people who move here and expect that they are entitled to some sort of compensation because they lost some posies to wildlife. Get a grip Joyce.

Lots of "if's" and speculation in this article. To talk about how a deer population increases isn't news - it's biology. "We're not there yet .." Seriously? Stop speculating and catastrophizing our town's demise by deer. Perhaps if the town wasn't continually constructing buildings that stay empty for years, the deer wouldn't be driven into the local population because their habitat has been destroyed. There are worse issues that actually need to be dealt with in Okotoks as said in a previous post.

If people don't like the deer, move elsewhere. The deer contribute charm to what's left of small-town Okotoks. Yes, they eat my plants. But I never get tired of seeing the little fawns at springtime, or a deer that is tucked up and made its nightly bed beside my house.

This Show & Shine was one of the best events that Okotoks has held. Every nook and cranny along Railway was filled with beautifully restored cars and trucks. There was a great selection of food trucks with something for everyone (albeit a little pricey).

There is certainly no shortage of luxury homes around Okotoks. Seems like homes "starting in the 900's" are becoming the new normal for Okotoks.

Add to that the ridiculous bylaw that says you cannot park a work truck (cube van) on the street in front of your house. We found that out by a lovely neighbor (we know who you are) calling bylaw on us because we parked a work truck in front of our house. But apparently, it's a thing. But only a thing if someone complains to the police. Not sure what a person is supposed to do. Agreed with council being tossed out, along with whoever is in charge of infrastructure and planning.
