Members of Drumheller Minor Hockey teamed up to support the annual Toy Drive for The Salvation Army. The U18 and U15 Raptors held a toy drive and 50/50 at their season openers. They were able to raise $305 and also donate a large collection of toys to be dropped at Westergard Ford for the annual Toy Drive.
Two councillors have been acclaimed in the Village of Morrin, filling seats that were left unclaimed following this fall’s municipal elections.
Following the general Municipal Election in Morrin on October 18, councillor-elect Lynn Helton resigned in an email, and councillor-elect Ken Balacko also resigned, citing health concerns.
These actions left only one councillor, M’liss Edwards, who was sworn in at the organizational meeting.
The Village opened nominations for a by-election, to be held on December 13.
Morrin CAO Annette Palchner tells the Mail two candidates have put their names in to run for council. Chris Hall and Lorraine McArthur have let their names stand. Because there are two candidates, there is no need for an election.
They will be sworn in at the next Morrin Council meeting.
Downtown Drumheller was a flurry of activity on Saturday, November 27, for Santa Saturday.

Of course, Jolly Old St. Nick was on the scene taking pictures and asking about Christmas wishes, inclusion from Nate, 11, and Alison, 7, Harper.
