Legion raising funds for roof repair
Poll
Yes
The Royal Canadian Legion General Stewart Branch #4 is looking to put a roof over their heads. To replace the existing one, of course. The local branch has started up a Go Fund Me campaign to help pay for a new roof. The goal has been set for $20,000 to cover the cost for the immediate replacement of the lower roof with a deadline to reach the goal by May 31. The branch moved into the building in 1976 when it was a former Loblaws. Repairs to the main roof were conducted several years ago and the lower roof portions were in good shape at the time. Still, the need is immediate, and repairs are under way.

Some parent groups are saying proposed boundary changes in the Lethbridge School Division are rushed, lack good planning, and will have substantially cut parents out of the consultation process if passed by the school board on Feb.23.
“I think it’s because they knew it would be an unpopular decision,” says Nichole Eva, who is representing a group of parents of French immersion students from Nicholas Sheran School who would be displaced by the proposed boundary changes. “They kind of put it back on us: ‘What else should we do?’ I don’t know. Maybe they should have planned this better and not move back again after just four years.”

Yesterday (Dec. 12) my son and I were driving south down Mayor Magrath and two tractors holding four idiots were blocking all three lanes. We followed them for about 15 blocks in the lineup of cars, and I was about to ask my son to call the police when I saw flashing lights in the middle lane. Traffic parted and the officer pulled over the righthand tractor, the left one skedaddling away. My son said they can get tickets for impeding traffic, stunting (which only required that you are trying to attract attention to your vehicle, no masks (two people per tractor), and one with no seatbelt (tractors have one seat). They had a sign in the back window stating “Masks do not work! Stop the tyranny!” The only tyranny I saw was them, inconveniencing dozens of people trying to go about their business. I hope they got fined hard!
