Sturgeon County resident plans Aug. 2 protest against data centre project

A local organizer says the planned facility poses risks to the surrounding community, prompting a public demonstration outside county offices.

A Sturgeon County resident is organizing a protest against a proposed data centre they describe as 'devastating,' calling on neighbours and concerned residents to voice opposition before local officials.

The demonstration is scheduled for Aug. 2 at the Sturgeon County Centre in Morinville, giving the organizer and attendees an opportunity to raise concerns directly outside the building where county decisions are made.

Details on the specific data centre project, its developer, and the exact nature of the concerns were not included in the available reporting.
