Council approves naming of Sutherland Drive
The Town of Rocky Mountain House is naming a street after a well-known local couple.
Council has approved a notice of motion from Mayor Tammy Burke to rename 54 Street south of Highway 11 as Sutherland Drive, in honour of Fred and Margaret Sutherland.
Fred Sutherland served nearly four years in the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War. He was the front gunner in the aircraft that broke the Edger Dam as part of the Dambusters mission of the 617 Squadron.
After moving to Rocky Mountain House, he worked as a superintendent of the Rocky Clearwater Forest Area until his retirement in 1986.
