Hand-piled agricultural brush and debris burning that is less than 2 cubic meters in size is allowed, if it is in a cultivated field or another fire guard is in place, a Fire Suppression Plan is in place, and Municipal Notification Requirements have been met

Childcare Subsidy

We understand the need for families to be able to access quality and affordable childcare.

To help combat the cost, the County provides a Childcare Subsidy to eligible residents who are not covered by the Provincial Childcare Subsidy Program.

To apply, please complete a Childcare Subsidy Program Application. The form is fillable and can be completed and emailed to fcss@saddlehills.ab.ca or dropped off at the County Office.

If you have any questions on the program or require any assistance, please contact us at fcss@saddlehills.ab.ca or call (780) 864-3760.
