Volunteers Wanted Snow Angels is a volunteer service where people commit to removing snow at the residence of a senior in need throughout the winter season. The program currently has seniors who need help but few volunteers. Can you assist? Contact Sylvan Lake FCSS at 403-887-1137 extension 222 or pick up an application at the community centre.

PRIMER
It’s important to prime surfaces properly so the paint has a good surface to adhere to. Peel Stop is a clear binding primer that seals, glues down the edges of peeling paint and binds chalky surfaces. Ensure your hard work lasts by priming with a quality product. Peel Stop helps stop peeling and makes for a long-lasting paint job.
