Donald Eugene Welda June 8, 1932 ~ August 24, 2019 Donald Eugene Welda was born on June 8, 1932, the oldest son of Jacob and Rosalie Welda of Hay Lakes, Alberta. Donald and his younger brother Roger grew up on the family farm. Donald attended Swan Hill School for grades one through eight, and then completed his schooling at Hay Lakes School. He was baptized in the Christian faith, attended Sunday School, and was confirmed at St. Joseph Lutheran Church. Donald married Helen Mary Peddicord of Amisk, Alberta, on July 23, 1955 at Moddel United Church in Amisk. Helen and Donald’s four sons Craig, Grant, Alan and Blayne were also raised on NE 28 48 21.

RONA returns hero campaign for CAFCL By Murray Green
Lowe’s Canada is returning its heroes campaign. Every Lowe’s, RONA and Reno-Depot corporate store in the country has chosen to support the mission or a project of a local non-profit organization or public school–a hero in its community. RONA Camrose employees chose the Camrose Association for Community Living as their hero organization. “Through the Heroes campaign, we are thrilled to support organizations that make a real difference in the communities where we operate. We are committed to helping build stronger communities and taking concrete steps to improve the lives
of those around us,” said Jean-Sébastien Lamoureux, senior vice president at Lowe’s Canada. “The strength of this campaign lies in our employees’ high level of engagement to the local cause they have chosen themselves. Some of them will also volunteer their time by helping their partner organization carry out a specific, inspiring project.” From Sept. 1 to 30, customers from the Camrose region will be invited to make a donation, at checkout, to support the Camrose Association for Community Living. Lowe’s Canada will match 50 per cent of all customer donations up to $2,000 per store.
