United Conservative Party (UCP) leadership hopeful Danielle Smith was in the Valley Tuesday garnering support for her leadership platform. Dozens of residents came out to hear her message at the Badlands Community Facility on August 2. She feels she is the candidate that can effectively push back against Ottawa, beat NDP leader Rachel Notley in an election and restore freedoms to Albertans. UCP members will elect a new leader on October 6.
To celebrate the 5th anniversary of Riverside Medical in the valley, Drs. Rithesh and Veronique Ram took the opportunity to give back to the community. On Wednesday, July 27 (left), they presented Amanda Courtenay of The Salvation Army with an assortment of donated items for the organization, as well as $500 to support the work it does.
They also made their way to the Drumheller And District Humane Society and donated $500 to support the work they do in the community. Accepting the donation is Humane Society shelter administrator Brooklyn LeGresley.
