The second annual Coats for Kids campaign by Western Chevrolet Drumheller will be taking gently used winter gear– coats, gloves, boots, this Friday in an effort to recycle invaluable clothing items.

Mayor Terry Yemen, left is pinned with a poppy by The Drumheller Legion's poppy chair Ed LaPlante to kick off the Legion's Annual Poppy Drive leading up to Remembrance Day. Boxes have been distributed to businesses throughout the valley. The basic purpose and obligations of the Poppy Trust Fund are to assist Canadian ex-service personnel and their dependants who are in need of assistance: Canadian ex-service personnel who have served on Class "C" reserve service and their dependants who are in need of assistance; Merchant Navy personnel who are eligible and their dependants who are in need of assistance; ex-service personnel of allied countries who are residents of Canada and their dependants who are in need of assistance; and ex-service personnel of Commonwealth countries who are residents of Canada and their dependants who are in need of assistance.
