WHEREAS by an order dated the fifteenth day of June, 1933, and made in purported pursuance of the powers in that behalf contained in The School Act, and published in The Alberta Gazette for the thirtieth day of June, 1933, the lands therein mentioned were constituted into a School District under the name of The Berry Creek School District No. 4617; and

Whereas by reason of the before recited dissolution of the School Districts previously existent in The Berry Creek School District No. 4617, the strict compliance with

Hannaford, of Howie, Alberta, to represent subdivision No.1; Robert McGibbon, of Burfield, Alberta, to represp.nt subdivision No.2;

2 James Ryan, of Hutton, Alberta, to represent sub division No.3; John Hickle, of Rose Lynn, Alberta, to represent sub division No.4; John M. Turnbull, of Big Stone, Alberta, to represent subdivision No.5; and

Whereas it is proper and convenient that the last recited order be confirmed, ratified and validated, and that the recited appointment of delegates of the Board of the Division be confirmed, validated and ratified.

Now therefore, His Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Alberta, enacts as follows: 1. This Act may be cited as "The Berry Creek School Division Act." 2. The before recited order of the first day of October, 1936, is hereby confirmed, ratified and validated, and The Berry Creek School Division No.1 is hereby declared to be validly constituted as a School Division for all the purposes of The School Act, 1931. 3.

The subdivisions in which the said Division is divided by the last mentioned order are hereby declared to have been validly constituted, and to be the subdivisions of the said Division for all the purposes of The School Act, 1931. 4.
