Jaywalkers’ shows featured at Bailey

By Murray Green

Radiant Harmony will be featured as part of Bai ley Theatre’s Jaywalkers’ Jamboree community event showcase.

The Bailey Theatre is helping to support local businesses, local perform ers and to encourage people from the central region to come downtown and enjoy community, shopping and entertainment on June 7 and 8.

“We want to be a big part of showcasing our many assets in Camrose. Two benefit concerts, two evening ticketed concerts, supporting local performers and our new Bailey Theatre manager will be meeting and greeting folks. Elliot Harder was hired in mid-May,” said Bailey Society past-president Barb Stroh.

The theatre will have guided tours of the heritage theatre, 50/50 community wide draws to offer a chance to win, and at the same time support the Bailey. Draws are made on Friday at 9 p.m. and another one on Saturday at 9 p.m. Popcorn and water sales are available and the Spotlight Bistro will have extended hours.

Radiant Harmony, a choral group from Central Alberta gather in Daysland for rehearsals. These ladies sing for fun and through their performances have raised over $35,000 for various charities. They offered to support the Bailey Theatre, benefit performances June 7, Friday at 5 p.m. and on June 8, Saturday at 1:30 p.m. with donations at the door.

Radiant Harmony is a non-auditioning choral group that gathers in Daysland and has members from as far East as Lougheed, west to Camrose, north of Kingman and south of Forestburg.

They gather for eight to 10 weeks before a per formance at Christmas and again in early spring.

They sing for fun and support local charities such as the Food Bank, FIRST and women’s shel ter. They also perform for senior facilities in the area or when asked.

They are directed by Terry Banack from Round Hill (also a Bailey perform er with the band the Cod Tongues) and accompanied by Sharon Edgerton. They sing anything that’s en tertaining from roof rais ing gospels, a little country, even some newer hits.

Other concerts on Fri day and Saturday night feature two popular local bands, The Bakin’ Soda Boys and Rose City Rollers.

Local Elks ready to honour 100 years

By Murray Green Camrose

Elks Lodge #70 will be celebrating 100 years of service in October.

“This year marks a significant milestone in our community’s history—our 100th anniversary. For a century now, the Elks have been woven into the very fabric of Camrose, tirelessly serving and supporting our neighbours in countless ways,” said president Jason Silbernagel.

Since its inception, the Camrose Elks have been steadfast in the commitment to community welfare. From hosting vibrant farmers markets to organizing delightful family dances and from spearheading initiatives to build parks for families to providing a welcoming space for various groups to meet, the contributions have been diverse and impactful.

“Over the years, the Elks Lodge has served as a hub for community engagement, welcoming groups ranging from the Girl Guides to the Army cadets, and more recently, offering a home to a local dance academy. Our halls have echoed with laughter during weddings, echoed with the warmth of love during anniversaries and witnessed the joy of celebration during birthday parties,” he explained.

“Yet, like many service organizations, we face the challenge of dwindling membership. Despite our rich history and unwavering dedication, sustaining these endeavors has become increasingly challenging. However, our mission remains unchanged— to serve and support our community,” said Jason.

The contributions of the Camrose Elks Lodge to our community cannot be overstated. “Over the past 24 years alone, we have proudly donated $215,222 back to our community. These funds have supported vital initiatives, from helping organizations meet their goals to providing essential equipment for children with special needs. However, without the support of our community, these resources are at risk of dwindling,” he continued.

“As we celebrate our centenary, we extend an earnest invitation to the women and men of Camrose to join us in our noble cause. By becoming a member of the Camrose Elks Lodge, you not only become part of a storied tradition of service, but also ensure that our legacy of giving back endures for another century,” said Jason.

For those interested in joining the Elks in their

mission, visit the website at www.camroseelks.ca or connect on Facebook.

“Together, let us continue to make a difference in the lives of those around us and ensure that the spirit of service thrives in our community for generations to come,” added Jason.

The Elks Lodge started in October 10, 1924, with 128 members at the Bailey Theatre.

P.A. Miquelon was the grand organizer and was in the exalted ruler’s chair prior to when the first elections were called. Dr. H.B. Ness was then named exalted ruler.

The first meeting was held in the George Shea Building on the southwest corner of 50 Street and 50 Avenue. In 1925, they purchased the old Presbyterian Church on the corner of 49 Street and 49 Avenue for $1,750. It was the home of the Elks until 1953.

The lodge purchased the Tillicum Beach Hall in 1953 and moved it to its present location at 4702-50 Avenue.

The main revenue in the early years was from the skating carnivals. When the old rink was replaced by the new building at the same location (Wild Rose Arena) the Camrose Elks were instrumental in raising much of the money needed for the project.

The Elks sponsored their first baseball team in 1925, a synchronized ice skating team and many local hockey teams throughout the years. Elks also sponsored a brass band in 1926, which was successful for several years.

In 1941, the Elks received a special permit to start construction on a project, known as The Elks Park. Trees and shrubs were planted, the ground was broken and seeded to grass. This park today is known as Jubilee Park.

During the war years the Elks donated their hall to the Red Cross to be the headquarters of the Blood Donor Clinics.

A substantial amount of money was raised by the Elks for the first swimming pool in Camrose.

When John Russell School was destroyed by a fire, the Elks donated their hall to the school board so classes could continue.

Since then, the Elks have continued to be a great service club for Camrose.

Government has mandates

By Jackie Lovely, MLA

Recently, our United Conservative government received an update on the status of our mandate items.

Our campaign included 296 total mandate items, ranging from everything between improving the health care system, to increasing access to apprenticeship programs. Out of these 296 mandate items, 25 per cent of them are already completed.

Another 61 per cent are already in progress, and Premier Danielle Smith has assured Albertans that we will have 100 per cent of them completed in time for the next election in just a few short years. Our government is following an aggressive and productive agenda, and we are working our way through it, to best serve Albertans, so that our province can continue to be a great place to call home.

Recently, our government delivered on our campaign mandate promise to pay off past debt, stabilize and improve Alberta’s economy, and build up our savings for future generations. We have deposited another $2 billion into the Heritage Savings Trust Fund, which is the most significant amount in recent history. On top of that deposit, we also legislated that any interest generated will now compound to grow the Fund, rather than being spent each year by government. This is a great step in securing the economic future of our province for many generations to come.

Our United Conservative government has worked to get Alberta’s fiscal house in order, and we delivered consecutive balanced budgets in 2022 and 2023, while still making historic investments in health care and education, which has attracted more investment into our province, and has kept our economy moving forward.

Another very important mandate item that our government has been continually working on is improving our health care system. In 2019, when our government took office, Albertans were waiting far too long for the health care they needed, so our government knew that immediate action was needed.

I truly believe that Alberta has the best front-line health care workers, and we have worked hard to have the right supports in place to ensure that Albertans get the care they need when and where they need it. To address the growing health care needs of Albertans, health spending has been increased by over $2 billion since 2019.

Although economic strengthening and health care improvements are crucial mandate items that we have worked on, we have also worked on hundreds of other specified mandate items on issues ranging from apprenticeship programs to addiction recovery communities, to community safety, to tax cuts for Albertans.

One of my favorite parts of being an elected official is getting to play a part in getting things done that improve the lives of people not only in my constituency, but throughout the entire province.

While in office, our government has worked hard to complete these mandate items, and we are going to continue to do so until we have completed 100 per cent of them.

Contact my office if you require my assistance. A reminder that I am a commissioner of oaths and a notary public and provide the service free for constituents.

If you have any questions or concerns, contact my office. We are always here for you!
