The Salvation Army welcomes new officers to Drumheller.
Jennifer and Shane Hillier, along with their two-year-old daughter, arrived late last week from Vancouver and are “excited” to be in a small town.
The couple is originally from a small town in Newfoundland.
Hillier said she has spent the past eight years in Vancouver as part of The Salvation Army. She mentioned her husband has been with The Salvation Army for quite sometime as well and they will both be taking positions within the church.
She has now become the Corps Officer for the Drumheller branch of the church and her husband is the Community Ministries Director.
“The Salvation Army uses an appointment system, so they actually appoint people to different places, so they have appointed us here,” she said continuing by saying, “We were really wanting to come to a small town.”
“Vancouver has been really great and it is beautiful, but we are from a small town and there is a sense of community that I don’t think you get living in the big city so we have been looking forward to coming to a small town and being part of a community and being among the people,” she told inSide Drumheller.
