Carbon School Jumps Rope for Heart

Jump Rope rewards 023
On February 17, 2017, all Carbon School students participated in Jump Rope for Heart as a part of their Team Challenge Day.

Students were encouraged to gather pledges prior to the date of the activity.  A lofty goal of $2000.00 was set for the incentive.  Carbon School raised an amazing $2253.25.

Because the goal was met, the entire student body was treated to a "Create Your Own Fruit Kabob" treat on Friday, March 10.

Top fundraising students were recognized by receiving a free gym class and prizes handed out to many of the participants.

Carbon School was recognized by Heart and Stroke Foundation representative Erynn Biggar.  She said, "Thank-you (Carbon School) for being an avid supporter of our organization, encouraging the new generation to be active.  Together, we are inspiring healthy hearts and minds, and helping Canadians live longer, more fulfilling lives."

Carbon School participates in Jump Rope for Heart every February.


New Chopped Leaf Restaurant opening in Drumheller this summer

The Chopped Leaf Opening Soon In Drumheller

The Bosch family has announced their newest venture. Braden Bosch confirmed Sunday that they will be opening a Chopped Leaf franchise in Drumheller at 700 Highway 9 South, in the former 2000 sq ft Beef Club location.

A long term lease has been secured and renovations start next week on the new location.

Bosch owns a number of Chopped Leaf franchises already in Airdrie and Calgary.

Chopped leaf is a healthy dine-in and take out franchise offering chef designed salads, soups, wraps and other healthy options.

"We will be fully renovating the interior of the restaurant, Nathan Bosch said, "This restaurant will be a location that Drumhellerites will be proud of."

Braden and Landon Bosch own the Centre Street Insurance business in Drumheller and although Drumheller is a smaller market than Airdrie or Calgary Bosch said "We wanted to show the community we are committed to the success of Drumheller, even in tougher times"

The ice jam has released and river levels are subsiding.
The Town and Utility Companies continue to provide assistance to several homes on Highway 10X that were impacted by the high river levels.
Residents are asked to stay away from barricaded areas. Work continues on the corner of Riverside Drive and 3rd Ave east and that area remains closed to traffic.
If residents feel that their property is in danger please call the Emergency Line 403 823 2512. Only these residents who require sandbags are invited to also call the Emergency Line to arrange help at the Public Works Shop which is located on 117 7th Ave SE.
In high stream flow the river bank can become extremely unstable and residents should continue to stay away from these areas, including the pathways and trails alongside the river.
“The Fire Department, RCMP and Public Works staff, continue to monitor the trouble spots and river flows. Updates will be provided on the website.” stated Mayor Terry Yemen
