2015 has been a good for the Town of Okotoks and looking forward to 2016 things are looking good as well.

Councillor Ray Watrin says that the "On It" system coming to Okotoks next year is something he is proud of.

"The Calgary Regional Partnership allows us to have people from around the Foothills including Okotoks to be picked up and taken to Calgary," Watrin says.

However even with the new system coming to Okotoks, the water troubles have taught Watrin a lesson when it comes to getting what is needed.

"You have to persist with things like the concerns with water and annexation."

Looking into the new year Watrin and his fellow Councillors are hoping that a solution will me made when it comes to the water issue.

"We are hoping to get a plan when it comes to funding for water and get some resolution for the annexation."
