Fueling Children’s Learning Experiences

 Rosanne Fortier - News Correspondent

 Vegreville and District Co-op was part of Fuel Good Day hosted by Co-op Federated Co-operatives Limited on September 16.

Each year, they help a local community organization, and this year, Friends of A.L. Horton Elementary School Society was the recipient.

This society hosted a barbecue to also raise funds.  

A total of $2,227.20 was raised from all these endeavours.

President Erin Robert explained, “Proceeds made up by, total amount of liters of fuel sold (we got 10 cents from each litre), coffees and slushees sold (we got $1.00 from each one purchased) at Co-op Gas Bar and hot dog sale, and donations.

Proceeds will be used to upgrade and maintain the playgrounds at AL Horton School, and for anything extra the school needs additional funds for. That may be for things like sports equipment, musical instruments, books, or Chromebooks.”
