Coleman Seniors - programs for everyone
The Coleman Seniors have finished work on their games room featuring pool and darts, with a shuffleboard on the way. The pool tables are open from around noon to 4 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Members of the Coleman Seniors can come in and pay a dollar for a full day of pool. Members of the community are encouraged to try out the newly revamped facilities. “New people who might be interested in playing pool can come once and, if they like it, then we ask they take out a membership for $10 a year and pay their dol-lar each time,” said Coleman Seniors president Wendy Zack. The money they collect goes towards replacing pool cues, tips and supplies. It also helps to pay for any needs in the rest of the hall along with functions at the centre. Currently, they aren’t able to start shuffleboard due to repairs and levelling needs. She also highlighted the cards tables they have for various games but, for now, they are focusing on the pool tables and the newly installed dartboards. The newly renovated game room can be seen by visiting the Coleman Senior Centre at 7801 18 Avenue in Coleman. To become a member or to learn more, visit colemanseniors.org today. December 14, 2022
Hunting gun ban considered to be ‘overreach’ by Government of Alberta
Alberta’s Minister of Justice, Tyler Shandro, held an online media conference on December 9 to discuss the Alberta government’s response to Bill C-21. Bill C-21 is “an Act to amend certain Acts and to make certain consequential amendments” regarding firearms according to the document. What originally stated as a handgun bill has now come to encompass hunting rifles used across Canada. Shandro started the discussion by addressing the “overreach” the province has

seen from the federal government “criminalizing so many Canadians” with the proposed Bill C-21 amendments. “We're definitely looking at what Saskatchewan is doing with their proposed firearms legislation,” he said. Shandro explained they always had concerns with the federal government going after hunters. Shandro said Bill C-21 includes a “bunch” of firearms used primarily for hunting are set to be banned. “The federal government is trying to make it sound like these are guns that were lawfully obtained by somebody who's licensed and is now using it in a crime. That's not the case,” he added. Even so, Shandro admitted there is more that can be done for the illegal firearms that are known to be used in gun crimes, such as those coming across the US border.

Crowsnest Curling Club, a little bit of everything for all levels in the sport
The Crowsnest Curling Club hosted a Mixed League event for Christmas on December 15 at the Crowsnest Pass Sports Complex in Coleman. According to Teresa-Jane Snider, President of the club, the evening was quite a success and explained the days they curl. “Our curling club has a vibrant seniors league; they curl on Monday and Thursday afternoons. We have an open league on Tuesday evenings and mixed league on Thursday evenings,” said Snider. New to the curling club this year is a Sunday afternoon event known as “Stirling curling”, which Snider explained is a two-person team where one or both members of the team may use a curling stick to play. There are also numerous events coming in 2023. “We have Bonspiels lined up for the new year. A club event called the Miner’s Spiel will be held on the evening of Friday, January 27. We will then be hosting Provincial Mixed Doubles Qualifiers February 2 to 5. We then have our fun Shamrock Spiel held March 17 and 18,” said Snider. She said they are very proud of the curling club and are always welcoming to new curlers. Visit crowsnestcurlingclub.weebly.com for more information on registration and events.
