The Town of Drumheller has a generous graduation gift for local students this year as they prepare to enter the next stage of their life.
With the gift they hope it is a way to send grads out into the world on healthy footing.
Mayor Terry Yemen told inSide Drumheller the Town is going to give a one-month membership for the Badlands Community Facility to each of the graduating Grade 12 students this year.
“This will give the students an opportunity to work out and look their best for their grad,” said Mayor Yemen. “It will also give them an opportunity to have a healthy stress release through the trying weeks of final exams and graduation. Thirdly, it may hopefully promote a healthy lifestyle and encourage use of the facility.”
He said administration has just gotten behind the idea and they will be contacting area principals to provide a list of graduates and the dates of their graduation. The passes will be distributed a month before graduation.
For more information on the offer, contact the Badlands community facility at 403-823-1370. or 403-823-1338.
