Today we are excited to once again make a significant contribution to our local Sheep River Library.

The STEAM program that they offer to the Diamond Valley community is in line with our giving matrix.

We continue to work hard at letting the Diamond Valley community know who we are and what we do.

Every new electricity and natural gas customer we get allows us to continue to donate more and more money back to Diamond Valley.

In this photo we have our Volunteer Community Board member - Director of Advertising and Promotions for the Foothills Energy Co-op - Denver Dominas, along with Teegan Bender of The Sheep River Library.

The Foothills Energy Co-op is managed by an energetic community volunteer Board and 100% of its net profits are donated back to The Diamond Valley community.

We are the only one of its kind in Alberta. Exclusive to Diamond Valley with amazing customers from all across Alberta who support us.

We are proud to continue to support as many of the local community events that we can.

"Did You Know" that we are the only volunteer community managed energy marketer in the province of Alberta who gives 100% of its net profits back to the Diamond Valley community.

In 2025 we donated over $200,000 back to various community groups and sustainability capital projects in The Foothills.

The more Diamond Valley customers we have who purchase their electricity and natural gas from the Foothills Energy Co-op the more money we can donate back to the community to support terrific events like the Show & Shine.

Our goal for 2026 is to support as many local community events that we can and hope that you will support the Foothills Energy Co-op in return.

Come On Diamond Valley.... Bring Us Your Energy - And We'll Bring You Ours.

It's coming up fast....... The plans are in motion and we're off and running. We'd like to welcome our Platinum+ sponsor for 2026 ..... Foothills Energy Co-op. Foothills Energy Co-op is a utilities and internet provider right here in Diamond Valley but can help you pretty much anywhere in Alberta to save money on your bills.

An interesting note for so many people out there who might not be paying very close attention in regards to how they go about accessing their electricity and natural gas.

Utilitynet recently published a blog post explaining what the Rate of Last Resort (ROLR) is and how the newly introduced ROLR Rider fees are affecting electricity bills in Calgary and Edmonton.

The message is straightforward: customers who haven’t actively chosen a competitive retailer yet are often paying more than they need to, and many don’t realize they have options.

What’s particularly striking is how many customers across Alberta are still on the ROLR today.

Current market statistics that highlight the scale of the
issue:

 26% of Alberta’s 1.7 million residential customers are still on the ROLR
 29% of the province’s 123,000 active businesses remain on the ROLR
 40% of Alberta’s 40,000 farms are still on the ROLR

That means a significant portion of households, businesses, and farms are defaulted onto a rate that was designed to be a “last resort”, not a long-term electricity solution.

Customers on the ROLR are not only paying a fixed electricity rate, but are also subject to daily admin fees and additional ROLR
Rider charges, which are used as cost-recovery tools by default providers.

Your local Foothills Energy Coop can provide all of us in the community with some of the best prices for Electricity and Natural Gas. The BIG BONUS is that when you are a FEC customer, the net profits that are earned go 100% back into our great towns.

First - Don't be on the RATE OF LAST RESORT (ROLR) as you're paying way to much for your Electricity and Natural Gas.

Second - Become a Foothills Energy Coop customer and watch us continue to donate back to Diamond Valley (over $225,000 in 2025 and more in 2026).

Let's BRING US YOUR ENERGY Diamond Valley!!!

We were so proud to be part of this partnership and collaboration. Incredible things to come as we all work together as a community.

What an amazing event today! Diamond Valley Light Up was non stop all day and such a blast.

Our Diamond Valley Fire Rescue crews helped get Santa safely to his public appearances.

The night ended off with a great fireworks show.

Awesome job Foothills Lions C-2 of Canada for putting together this great event this year.
