What a View

Last week I had the opportunity to take a helicopter ride. What an amazing and unique experience. I was able to capture a couple of pictures of our Town from this view. I can only imagine how beautiful it must be when the fields and trees are all in full bloom and the grass is a vibrant green.

Carnduff Golf Course - Wonderful Nine Whole Course

Our Ball Park

Just Beautiful

Well this week it finally feels like spring or shall I say summer! With warm temps and the sun shinning you can't help but want to spend some time outdoors! Around town you can see the trees in almost full bloom and hear the lawn mowers out in the evening cutting the grass! What a great time of year!

Enjoy the long weekend everyone!

Giving Back to the Community

The Grade 7 & 8 students at CEC will be doing their part to help the environment while giving back to the community. Tomorrow (Saturday, May 8th) the students will be doing their annual bottle drive around the community. Under the Lions Quest Program, as part of their curriculum the students choose a project that gives back to the community. The bottle drive has become just that event. All proceeds from the drive will be given back to local community organizations or projects.
