New residents often complain about "the smell" in our fine community - possibly not realizing that the town is surrounded by farms, and with farms come smells. However, if they lived here prior to 1997, they may have been complaining about a different odour in the air - even many of the long time residents raised a stink about the stink. Here are a few articles about Aldergrove's sewer history.

In an interesting aside, if memory serves correctly, the lagoon used to freeze over enough in the winter for ice skating.
