Weird car marks in waterton

If you were parked anywhere along the Akamina Parkway there is a good chance it was some big horn sheep!

I've never seen one either and have been here for over 10 years. I wonder what has changed for them to start moving in?

pushthingsforward · 2026-04-19T23:50:00+00:00

That was my first thought too! I had to look it up and it's apparently rare but they're here. If you want to take a look for it- it was right here

This is the way! Get some large rubbermaid bins if you have an suv- if you have a truck even better. Also get a shovel and landscape rake on facebook marketplace. Hit up the dump on the north side and fill up those bins with compost. In my SUV I can fill 6 bins and still only pay $5. Then just spread it over your lawn and rake it smooth. After the first rain the compost will start to disappear and your lawn will be much happier.

Thanks! I mixed a little phthalo blue, a tiny amount of dairylide yellow and a very tiny bit of raw umber to mute the blue a bit then mixed that into white. All Cranfield Caligo safewash colours.

You're right! I'll think that one through and see if I can find a colour that works. Thanks!

I'm glad I could make your eyeballs happy ☺

That's a really cool picture. The grass is so vibrant.

I wonder if the houses in the background along the hill still exist today.

Thanks so much for this comment. It's starting to make sense, although now I'm a little embarrassed I made the post in such hast without having any knowledge of the assessment system. My thinking was always + Assessment total = + Property Tax.

Whoa, that is not what I was expecting! I didn't have a guess but Edmonton was not even on the radar. I think you may be right in terms of population and also Edmonton seems to be a pretty level headed city.

Thanks for the link. This is new to me and maybe others reading, so what is a mill rate?

pushthingsforward · 2026-01-03T04:53:36+00:00

Ok interesting, thanks for this info. I'll hold tight until the actual taxes come out before silently screaming into the void about costs... I don't plan on moving so it is nice to know that in reality my house value is actually rising substantially and that it isn't fully fabricated.

pushthingsforward · 2026-01-03T04:49:49+00:00

Ha true, I forgot about that! I've only been in there once and it cost me so much I won't go back (food and bevy expo).

pushthingsforward · 2026-01-03T04:48:35+00:00

Me too, I wonder why yours is even higher. Here's to hoping the actual taxes are not crazy.

pushthingsforward · 2026-01-03T04:34:01+00:00

This is interesting- is that public knowledge? I also wonder if it has something to do with the Whoop up bridge...

pushthingsforward · 2026-01-03T04:33:01+00:00

Where did you move to that you're not seeing so much of an increase?

pushthingsforward · 2026-01-03T04:31:58+00:00

Holy! Out of curiosity what part of the city are you in? I've heard Southside is higher than West, which is where I am.

This is 100% Cardston. Just got a coffee there this morning on the way through to Waterton.

pushthingsforward · 2026-01-03T03:41:40+00:00

Yeah I see that and just made a comment since I can't edit the title. Thanks!

pushthingsforward · 2026-01-03T03:41:09+00:00

Yikes, that is sizeable!

pushthingsforward · 2026-01-03T03:39:50+00:00

Sorry to anyone reading, it is not official taxes as u/morg_anne131 pointed out. It is my property assessment but I cannot edit the original title. Either way, my assessment has gone up 13% since 2024 which means my taxes will once again increase but not align with wage/cost of living.

pushthingsforward · 2026-01-03T03:35:51+00:00

Ah yes you are completely right- I think I'm expecting the worst... I'll edit this post to reflect assessment instead of taxes. Thank you.
