Administrative history
The Smallholders Association for the MD of Rocky View was incorporated on August 21, 1968. The purpose of the organization was to oppose the assessment increases on smallholding property in the Municipal District of Rocky View No. 44. The Association was unable to get an assessment reduction at the Court of Revision and so contested the assessment increase in an Appeal in Joint before the Alberta Assessment Appeal Board on December 11, 1968. They lost the appeal and so the Association carried its case to the Supreme Court of Alberta, but was defeated again. The Association was dissolved soon after.
