The Drumheller tradition of a top notch parade soldiered on this year with great entries from the community and beyond.

This year there were about 80 entries and parade goers were not disappointed with the hard work and dedication by the committee that put on the parade, but also the floats entered  honouring the centennial of the Drumheller Fire Department. Judges had their work cut out for them as they selected winners in each of six categories.

A Big Valley man will be spending another 54 days in custody after pleading guilty to firearm charges.

Victor Foley appeared in provincial court in Drumheller via closed-circuit television from the Remand Centre.  He pleaded guilty to possession of a prohibited weapon, possession of a firearm without a license and being the occupant of a motor vehicle in which the person knows there is a firearm.

On September 18, 2018, Drumheller RCMP stopped a vehicle for a traffic stop.  A search of the vehicle revealed a 223 caliber rifle, a semi-automatic pistol a shotgun, ammunition, and drugs.

Foley has been in custody since November 23 of last year.  The crown and defense agreed on a sentence of 12 months. In giving him credit for 306 days in jail, this leaves 54 days to serve.
