Daren gave a power point presentation on the current state of the R.M. of Wilton.   Highlights of the RM as follows:

Make up of the RM of Wilton is 1042 square kilometer.

Within these boundaries there are two towns and one hamlet

Major industries are Oil and Agriculture

There are 6200 oil wells of which 3000 are producing

There is 760 kilometers of active roadway

Challenges consist of (a)  Poor soil types with a heavy traffic load  (b)  Quality gravel sources are not readily available and will soon have to haul from the mountains and (c) the recruitment and placing of qualified staff.

Continually seeking to form a team who are doing what they are currently doing but different and better

Looking for people with innovative solutions and technology with evolving adaptation of current practices to keep ahead of the curve.

Wilton continues to meet all obstacles and challenges head on and pride themselves in the ability to implement diverse operations.

Choosing the R.M. of Wilton means choosing success.
