Little Beaver Hi-U Centre transitions into becoming community centre
By Adan Shaikh
The Little Beaver Hi-U Centre in Ferintosh is a hidden gem. Established in 1978 as a senior centre, it has been serving the community for decades. But after assessing the needs and participation of the community the board has decided to transition into becoming a community centre, to serve all members of the community.
Board members say the transition to a community centre is about ensuring the building remains active and relevant for years to come. The first step towards that was updating their bylaws to allow all adults to be able to join as voting members. Up until now, to become a member of the Little Beaver Hi-U Centre individuals needed to be 40 plus.
According to the board, many young community members who wanted to be involved could not be involved, but with the new update the board already has several younger directors serving. A multi-generational board can open more doors of opportunities for the community and add fresh ideas to the work that is already being delivered through the centre.
“We host events like floor curling, community coffee, pool, darts, cards, exercise classes, educational classes, Harvest Supper, Christmas Supper, summer barbecues, as well as 50/50 draws at all our meetings and public
events,” shared Teresa Reykdal, president of the board.
“We are going into a new direction to include younger people, but we are still going to keep seniors in mind when we do things. So we are looking into bringing more family-oriented stuff for the younger generations,” said Teresa.
“We are looking for more community members and definitely more volunteers. We want more than anything to see the people have a resource where they can come and use the building,” she added.
To become members people don’t need to be from Ferintosh, anyone from nearby areas who would like to be involved in putting together meaningful events for the community can join. “It’s for families, newcomers, and anyone in the area looking for a place to connect,” commented Teresa.
The group meets second Tuesday of every month for a meeting and every Wednesday for a community coffee at 2 p.m. which is also a great time for anyone interested in becoming a member to stop by and find out more. Currently the group is focused on their upcoming Spaghetti Supper on April 30 at 6 p.m. For tickets or more information contact Teresa at 780-608-5314 or email hiupresident@gmail.com
The Hi-U Centre is lcoated at 1110 Glenmuir Avenue, Ferintosh.
Camrose County reviews two bylaws in New Norway
By Nadine Leming
With any adjustments to the active water bylaw 1579 and wastewater bylaw 1580 services in New Norway, the local improvement bylaws need to reflect these changes.
This adjustment reflects expanding community services by one, increasing from 148 to 149 residences.
There are no financial implications to the County. The County will receive the same annual amount
of local improvement taxes, but the amount will be allocated differently among ratepayers.
To account for this increase, all remaining rolls will see a small decrease annually starting in 2026. The total levy for each parcel of land has also been decreased accordingly.
Administration recommended that first, second, third, third and final
readings be made to each bylaw.
The motion to approve bylaw 1579 New Norway Water Local Improvement Tax received first, second, third as well as third and final readings were carried.
The motion to approve bylaw 1580 New Norway Wastewater Local Improvement Tax received first, second, third as well as third and final readings were carried.

This year, the show will focus mainly on the art club’s paintings that will also be available for purchase.
Mary Kinsella from the Bashaw Art Club said, “There will be a few prizes. We have a table with paintings that have been donated by the artists that will be handed out through a draw. There’s a good chance for people to win something.”
Mary added, “People can come out and spend some time with us and appreciate what we do and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea.”
The community is encouraged to attend this annual event. It’s an opportunity to get out and enjoy good art, bring the family or some friends and spend a relaxing day.

Century Farm Award presented to Hanson family
By Adan Shaikh Camrose Consistuency
MLA Jackie Lovely held a recognition ceremony on April 15 at the Camrose Resort Casino Hotel.
She recognized the Hanson Family Farm with a Century Farm Family Award. Established near Viking in 1918, the 740acre mixed farm has been in the family for generations. Arnold and Mary Hanson thanked MLA Lovely for the recognition as they shared the effort, time and commitment that it has taken to keep the farm going for over 108 years.
“The farmland being recognized today is immediately south of our home quarter and was purchased by my grandfather and grandmother in 1918 from the CPR,” shared Arnold.
“My grandfather came to Viking in 1905. His name was Hans Hanson. He left Norway at the age of 16 with a bagged lunch. When he was in Viking, he met his wife, while living there he taught at Lake Thomas School. They had 10 children and raised them at the original family homestead, which was recognized in the year 2006. My dad Leslie was the youngest of the family and he bought the quarter we grew up on northeast of the original homestead. My wife Mary and I still live there in the renovated house – that’s been great for all of us,” he continued.
The couple is enjoying the transition into retirement as their oldest daughter and family take over the cow and calf farm.
“Her name is currently being added to the title and our grandkids have already helped with the fencing and the feeding,” said Arnold, as he highlighted how the farm’s legacy continues into the next generation.

Camrose County administration uses a strategic combination of realistic revenue forecasting and effective budgeting with the intention of creating a surplus at the end of the fiscal year. Administration efficiently leverages provincial funding to support fiscal sustainability while maintaining financial prudence to minimize tax increases where possible.
Accountable systems
By Jackie Lovely, MLA Camrose Constituency
United Conservatives are taking action to strengthen Alberta’s education system, support local industries, and ensure our province continues to have strong, accountable systems in place. From keeping politics out of the classroom and preparing our province’s future workforce, to backing Alberta-made products and improving management of immigration and housing, we’re focused on what matters to families, workers, and communities across the province.
Education remains a top priority for our government, and we’re taking steps to ensure classrooms are safe and focused on learning – not partisan politics. New legislation will make it clear that schools must be safe and respectful places where kids are taught how to think, not what to think. These changes strengthen accountability for school boards and make sure students are exposed to a wide range of views so they can form their own opinions. This legislation also helps protect teachers by addressing violence or aggression in schools and improving overall school safety.
United Conservatives are also investing in the next generation of Alberta’s workforce by preparing young people for careers in the skilled trades. A $6 million investment over three years will support the launch of the Alberta Trades Discovery Centre, a first-of-its-kind initiative that gives junior high and high school students hands-on experience in trades before they graduate. Opening in Calgary in fall 2026, the centre will help students explore career paths, build practical skills, and make informed decisions about their future. With more than 59,000 skilled trades workers needed in the coming decade, this investment helps make sure Alberta has the workforce required to grow our economy.
Our government is also supporting Alberta businesses and agriculture by giving Alberta whisky the recognition it deserves on the world stage. New legislation defines what qualifies as “Alberta Whisky,” ensuring it is made with Alberta water and locally sourced grains. This will help strengthen the province’s agri-food sector, support distillers and farmers, and build a globally recognized brand that drives tourism, investment, and local economic growth.
County sees a budget surplus
Over the 2025 fiscal year, administration achieved operational savings, which surpassed revenue targets leading to approximately $1,000,000 in unrestricted surplus. After reviewing the reserve policy and the available funds, administration recommended to council to authorize the distribution of the unrestricted surplus as follows: $800,000 towards the road reserves and $200,000 towards the fire apparatus reserve.
As Alberta continues to grow, it’s important people can trust how immigration is managed. New legislation will improve our province’s control by requiring employers to register before using foreign worker programs and by strengthening rules for recruiters and immigration consultants. These changes will crack down on fraud and exploitation, protect vulnerable workers, and make sure immigration supports Alberta’s workforce needs in a fair and transparent way.
Councillor Marty Maxwell made the motion that Camrose County Council approve the allocation of the unrestricted surpluses from the 2025 financial year as follows: road reserves $800,000, fire apparatus reserve $200,000. The motion was carried.
Finally, United Conservatives are taking action to build more homes, strengthen local government, and ensure accountability in communities across Alberta. New legislation will cut red tape so housing approvals move faster and municipal decisions are clearer and more transparent. These changes support fair property taxes, strengthen accountability for municipal leaders, and help communities deliver reliable local services. By simplifying rules and speeding up approvals, we’re helping get more homes built and building greater trust in local government.
Building Alberta’s future requires practical solutions and real results. And that’s exactly what United Conservatives are delivering – for students, workers, and communities right across the province.

Drive Happiness looks to reduce transportation barriers
By Adan Shaikh
Drive Happiness Seniors Association is looking for Camrose area residents to step forward and help meet a growing need for senior transportation in the community.
The organization, which first launched in 1998 as Lifestyle Helping Hands Seniors Association, connects volunteer drivers with older adults who need affordable and reliable transportation. The small community initiative has since grown into a province-wide service, officially rebranding to Drive Happiness in 2016.
“During the pandemic, we became one of the few available supports for seniors,” shared Tristen Runzer, provincial expansion manager of Drive Happiness. “Communities across Alberta began reaching out as many older adults felt completely stranded.”
The program expanded into Camrose at the beginning of 2024 and has since established a local presence. However, demand continues to outpace the number of available drivers.
Older adults in Camrose and area rely on transportation not only for day-to-day errands such as groceries, but also for critical medical appointments, many of which take place outside their areas and although services such as the Rose City Handi-Van and the Community Bus exist within the City, there are no services available in the rural areas.
“With many specialized health and wellness services located in larger centres, having reliable options for both local and out-of-town travel is essential. Without it, accessing care can become a significant barrier,” said Runzer.

Pickleball pandemonium
By Nadine Leming
Pickleball is one of the fastest growing games in North America. Its growing popularity has been attributed to how quickly it is for new people to pick up the sport.
It also appeals to a broad age range and is suitable for all fitness levels. Another popular reason is the affordability to get started.
The smaller court size, lower net and the softimpact plastic ball lowers the rebound speed off the paddle, making it easier to control and makes the game easier for beginners.
In Canada, pickleball is experiencing an explosion. There are an estimated 1.54 million players as of January 2025.
Pickleball has surged 57 per cent in between 2022 and 2025, with the most growth found between players aged 35 to 54. You can expect to see more of the sport in high
schools and universities over the next decade.
The vast majority of participants give their enjoyment of the game as their main reason for playing alongside the social aspects it provides.
The second set of court markings and new net have been installed and are ready to go at the Silver Creek Multiplex in New Norway. The makeshift divider net in place adds a second court, making it more accessible for players.
With the additional court, the Silver Creek Pickleball Club is hosting drop-in pickleball on Tuesday mornings at 9 a.m. and Thursday evenings at 6 p.m. There will also be drop-in opportunities on the second and fourth Sundays at 2 p.m. For more information, contact Danette at 867-334-8704 or Sarah at 780-678-9926.
volunteer drivers serving Camrose, there is an ongoing need to expand the team. Gaps in service mean some seniors are unable to access the transportation they require. Drive Happiness aims to bridge that gap by offering safe, dependable rides through its network of volunteers, while also helping reduce social isolation.
“The role is highly flexible, allowing individuals to contribute based on their own availability. It offers a meaningful way to make a direct, positive impact in the lives of older adults in the community,” she explained.
Volunteers use their own vehicles and can choose rides that fit their schedule through an online booking system. There are no minimum hour requirements, and drivers receive fuel reimbursement for completed trips.
To become a volunteer, appli-
cants must complete a volunteer application form, provide a police clearance with a vulnerable sector check, a clean driver’s abstract for the past three years, and valid documentation including a Class 5 driver’s licence, registration and insurance. By volunteering to help those who cannot drive, community members can contribute towards creating an inclusive and accessible community where everyone feels looked after and supported.
Those interested in volunteering can apply by emailing volunteer@drivehappiness.ca, calling 780-424-5438, or visiting drivehappiness.ca/volunteering/ to complete the contact form. Information is also available through Camrose and District Family and Community Support Services (CDFCSS), with assistance available to apply.
RCMP awareness on digital deception – look for signs
By Nadine Leming
According to Camrose RCMP, when it comes to fraudulent activity, it appears that it’s coming from fake social media accounts and pages.
Scammers are willing to use just about anything to mislead people – from romance or fake rental properties to selling merchandise that doesn’t exist.
The RCMP have also seen a few fake investors recently claiming they will give you guaranteed returns on traditional investments and cryptocurrencies.
Social media platforms bear direct liability to monitor and regulate content. Unfortunately, their security infrastructure is insufficient or outdated when it comes to filtering illegitimate profiles.
The RCMP encourages people to report suspicious activities and circulate them across the board. In many cases, police have no legal standing to enforce takedown orders for platforms located in foreign countries.
Const. Nathaniel Sande from the Camrose detachment said, “If we can access the right data and identify the persons responsible, we can still lay charges, but taking a prevention-based approach is usually more effective.”
In the past, the RCMP have presented anti-fraud sessions in Camrose and are willing to do them upon request.
Const. Sande suggests a few anti-fraud guidelines to be aware of. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is, so do your research. Always
be suspicious of anyone trying to get money or identity information from you, especially by electronic means, so ask a lot of questions. Anyone who already has your identity information, generally shouldn’t need to ask for it.
Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile, risky, and unregulated. If you don’t understand cryptocurrency, don’t purchase it for any reason. Law enforcement, courts, and legal officials do not use cryptocurrency, thus will never ask for payment in this form.
In summary, don’t be rushed or pressured into making a decision you’re not comfortable with. Take time to do your research and reach out to the authorities about any suspicious activity.

County holds public hearing for road closure
By Nadine Leming
A public hearing regarding the road closure bylaw 1578 on March 24 was opened by Reeve Cindy Trautman with all seven councillors present as well as five local ratepayers.
The hearing addressed the closure of approximately 3.09 acres of road allowance to align with Alberta Transportation and Economic Corridors (ATEC) Highway 13 widening and safety improvement project between Bawlf and Daysland.
This road closure was initiated by Camrose County to be compliant with ATEC’s plan to close the intersection of Township Road 454 and Highway 13.
With the intersection closure, it would cease to provide access to Highway 13 and make the portion of roadway Camrose County is closing redundant since it will no longer provide access to the Highway.
Administration had been in talks with ATEC to examine building a better turnaround/access point at the intersection of Range Road 173 and Township Road 454 that would be beneficial to maintenance crews and the adjacent landowners, but nothing had been finalized at the time of the hearing.
A notice of the public hearing was circulated to adjacent landowners. Administration received several letters of objection to the closure which were shared with councillors as well as forwarded to ATEC.
The primary objection is the removal of the intersection at Township Road 454 and Highway 13 and that Range Road 173 was not in the best condition.
The decision to remove this intersection is outside the scope of the County,

as it is part of the ATEC Highway safety and upgrade plans to remove what they have classified as an unsafe intersection. Once written and verbal opposition submissions were presented to
council, Councillor Jordan Banack motioned that council direct administration to bring Bylaw 1578 back to the April 28, regular Council meeting with further information. The motion was carried.
