The Mail has its second winner of its annual Canada Day Win a Bike Contest. Sophia Landry, 8, daughter of Mark and Angie picked up her new Supercycle Mountain Bike. She is already a big bike rider and in fact, her dad has built a track at their home in the Verdant Valley to keep the youngsters busy. Dana Gall of The Mail presents Sophia with her bike.
There is new leadership at the East Coulee School Museum.
April Rasmussen has been selected as the new executive director of the historic museum in East Coulee.
Rasmussen has extensive experience in museums in Drumheller and has a deep love for museums and heritage. In fact, her first job was as a summer student at the East Coulee School Museum.
“In a way, it has come full circle,” said Rasmussen.
She takes over as Barb Steeves retires as executive director of the East Coulee School Museum. Steeves has spent seven years with the East Coulee School Museum and has spearheaded many events and initiatives, including the annual Highland Gala.
The museum is back open seven days a week welcoming visitors following its closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Rasmussen says they miss all the people who come out for the annual spring fest and encourage locals to come and reacquaint themselves with the historic resource.
The Mail has its first bike winner from its annual Canada Day Contest. In absence of the annual Canada Day Parade, the Mail took the contest online and had over 70 entries. It was a tough decision for sisters Savannah, 10, and Sophie, 7, (missing is Sydney) Howard, daughters of Glen and Anita, but they picked this sleek black Supercycle. Great grandmother Carmen Howard was first to pick out the girls’ photo in the July 8 edition of The Drumheller Mail.
