It was a proud day for Golden Hills School Division as it held the grand opening for Wheatland Crossing  School.

The new facility serving communities including Rockyford, Standard, Hussar, Gleichen and Wheatland County opened earlier this year and on Tuesday, September 26 they invited the community in.

Golden Hills superintendent Bevan Daverne said the school is unique in that it is only one of about a dozen in the province not within a town. It is also unique because of all the productive partnerships  that made it possible. Today the school serves 385 K-12  students.

Wheatland Crossing students Justin McQuire, Katie Shephard, Grace Gregory, Abraham Paul, Cale Christensen and Kylie Kleinsasser hold the ribbon with special guests Rockyford Mayor Darcy Burke, Wheatland Reeve Glenn Koester, Golden Hills Superintendent Bevan Daverne, Golden Hills board chair David Price (cutting Ribbon), Hussar Mayor Tim Frank and Standard Mayor, Golden Hills Trustee Alan Larsen and Wheatland Crossing principal Karen Smith.

Paving project underway in Morrin

It won’t be long until there will be some smooth cruising in the Village of Morrin.
    This year the village was prepping for a paving project on First Avenue North. Construction is expected to commence this week.
    Morrin CAO Annette Plachner tells the Mail that they are working with TJ Paving of Red Deer.
   The project includes curb work, paving, and swails. The entire project has a budget of about $210,000.
    “It shouldn’t take very long,” said Plachner. “The cement works takes some time and it is dependent on the weather. It takes some time for it to cure.”
    She expects the project to be complete in a couple weeks time.
    “Once the curb work is done, the paving goes quick.”
