It is a citizen’s job to be involved in the community. This can be in a variety of ways; volunteering committing time to serve on boards, running for political office, or just helping a neighbour in need.
The Atlas Coal Mine shared the heroic tale of William McDonald it received from his daughter Margret Albert (McDonald) with The Drumheller Mail. While his life was cut short at the age of 36 in a mining accident his impact on the community has felt then, and today tells the story of the young families that came from all over to the valley to work in the mines.
