On July 23, 2025, a tragic vehicle accident took
the life of Annya Palsitt – a beautiful and
creative 17 year old from Mundare AB.
A graduate of Vegreville Composite High
School, Annya had plans to attend the
University of Alberta Augustana Campus
pursuing Elementary Education the next fall.
She loved children and would have made an
amazing teacher.
Her Loss has left a huge hole in Mundare,
Vegreville and surrounding communities.
While recently installed signage and increased
enforcement are a step in the right
direction, they have been insufficient to
prevent the frequency and gravity of incidents
at this intersection. The intersection of
Highway 16 and 855 requires physical
traffic control measures such as realignment,
signalization or grade separation to prevent
further loss of life and injury.
Project Annya is calling on:
•
MLA Jackie Armstrong-Homeniuk
•
The Alberta Ministry of Transportation
& Economic Corridors
•
Lamont County & other municipalities
… to make this intersection a priority and to
deliver a definitive plan in a timely manner to
bring an end to the many accidents and
loss of life occurring year after year.
Project Annya Marks the One-Year
Anniversary of this Tragic Accident with a
‘Call For Permanent Safety Improvements’
at Highway 16 and Highway 855
Mundare, AB
On Friday, July 24, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. a
commemorative sign honoring Annya Palsitt
was unveiled at the intersection of Highway 16
and Highway 855 near Mundare, Alberta.
Remembering Annya
