It looks like the warmer weather is here to stay. There have been quite a few people enjoying ice fishing at the dam. Please keep an eye on the ice conditions and be prepared to remove your shacks soon. It is just a reminder that private items such as ice fishing shacks are not to be stored at the MD Reservoir once removed from the ice.
Some of the covid restrictions have been lifted, and with that Jamie Ross will be starting in-person yoga classes on Monday nights again. Contact Jamie to register. 1-403-548-5146
The A.V. Diner is back open again from Monday to Saturday.
The Acadia Municipal Library is now open for in-person appointments. Call the Library to schedule your appointment after 4 pm during operating hours. They’re open Tuesdays 1:00 pm-7:00 pm, Wednesdays and Thursdays 3:30pm-6:30pm. Call 403-972-3744 to schedule your appointment or for curbside pick up.
There is a phone scam going around where they ask for your social insurance number. The phone number shows up as an Acadia Valley number. Be aware and do not give out any information over the phone.
Hats off to The Ice to Dice Committee, who did a fantastic job organizing last weeks’ online event! The Bingo was a huge hit with 36 teams registered. This helped to support 40 local businesses in and around our community! The Warren Peers School Students Union received $1255 in donations from this fundraiser. Thank you to all the businesses that participated and all the teams who supported these businesses. Congrats to Kent, Leeana, and Kyle Meers and fiancé Rachelle Stasiuk who won the $4000 travel voucher. Congrats to the winners of the ladies’ package: Susan Grudecki won the trip to Moose Jaw and Lenore Peers won the pamper package. A huge thank you to all the businesses who donated packages for the can auction and helped make this event such a big success. Hopefully, next year we will be able to hit the ice as per usual. The Rec. Club is still selling 50/50’s this month. The next draw will be made April 5th. You can get your tickets at The Store, Skappak’s Farm Supply or from a Rec. Club member.
Sending get-well wishes to Patricia Loran, who broke her leg last weekend during a snowmobile accident.
Thanks for reading this week. I will end with a quote from Nelson Mandela, “May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.”
