Kennedy Palmer, 10, from the Rimbey gymnastics club finished her vault at the rock ‘n roll fun meet held March 13 at the high school in Rimbey.
A new seniors lodge in Rimbey is on the horizon, but the future of the existing manor remains uncertain. Rimoka Housing Foundation board chairman Paul McLauchlin said several options have been brought forward, but nothing has been finalized to date. “The next step for the existing lodge is re-purposing. Hopefully it will still be part of the seniors’ housing portfolio,” he said. However, the lodge which now houses more than 60 seniors, may also be used to house a complimentary facility, he said. McLauchlin noted such options such as the library, playschool and Outreach School have been mentioned. The board chairman said the lodge could provide self contained housing for seniors such as the type that is available in Kansas Ridge and Kansas 11. He noted that these seniors units are now being operated under Bethany Group.
