Vermilion Soccer Association Hosts Mini Soccer Tournament
Sonya Lee Reporter
The Vermilion Soccer Association (VSA) hosted its highly anticipated Mini Soccer Tournament on May 24 and 25 at the soccer fields nestled in Vermilion Provincial Park. Following several days of wet and soggy weather, the sun finally made an appearance, offering players, coaches, and spectators a welcome break and ideal conditions for a weekend full of soccer action.
Over the course of two days, the tournament welcomed approximately 40 teams from the Lakeland district, creating a lively and energetic atmosphere for young athletes to showcase their developing skills and passion for the game. Teams travelled from Vegreville, Bonnyville, Elk
Point, St. Paul, and Cold Lake, highlighting the regional popularity of the event and the dedication of families and communities to youth sports.
Saturday’s schedule featured 14 U7 teams and 17 U9 teams. The action kicked off at 10 a.m. and continued until the final at 4 p.m. Despite their young age, the players demonstrated impressive teamwork, enthusiasm, and sportsmanship, qualities that set a positive tone for the rest of the weekend.
Sunday’s lineup featured 17 U11 teams, who battled it out in competitive but friendly matches starting at 9 a.m. Meanwhile, U13 players took part in a special 3-on-3 mini training tournament designed to focus on quick passes, movement, and individual skill development. These games followed
a different structure, allowing for longer play times and a more tactical approach to the sport.
The tournament was about more than just soccer it was a full community experience. A concession stand and BBQ were running at full steam throughout both days, serving up hot food and cold drinks to fuel the players and satisfy the appetites of supportive parents and fans. The smell of burgers on the grill and the sound of laughter from kids between matches created a festive, family-friendly environment.
Behind the scenes, the success of the event was due in large part to the efforts of dedicated volunteers, coaches, referees, and organizers. From scheduling games and managing the fields to keeping the concession running smoothly, their hard
work ensured that everything went off without a hitch.
The Mini Tournament not only offered a fun and educational experience for the young athletes, but it also promoted physical activity, community engagement, and the spirit of healthy competition. For many of the players, this event is a season highlight and a chance to meet peers from neighbouring towns, build friendships, and grow their love of the game.
As the final whistle blew late Sunday afternoon, smiles and high-fives were seen all around, marking the end of a memorable and well-executed tournament. The Vermilion Soccer Association can be proud of delivering another outstanding event that brought families together and celebrated the joy of soccer.

Growing Roots And Blooms At Dutchak’s Greenhouse
Lorna Hamilton Reporter
Just 3.5 kilometers north of Vermilion on Highway 41, a burst of colour and the scent of blooming flowers welcome visitors to Dutchak’s Greenhouse—a family-run gem that has been growing strong for over 40 years.
What began as a simple hobby has blossomed into a local gardening haven, with row after row of vibrant flowers, herbs, and vegetables waiting to find their new homes. As I wandered through the aisles recently, the warm air filled with the fragrance of summer, I found myself hunting for the perfect strawberry plants and citronella—like so many others who return each spring.
The greenhouses, owned by Jill and Kevin Dutchak for the last 20 years, has a long and heartfelt history.
“As I was told, it started as my husband’s
mother’s hobby greenhouse which was 6 x 8 feet in 1979/80. Nadine wanted to grow lots of flowers for the new farm,” explained Jill Dutchak.
Sadly, Jill never had the chance to meet her mother-in-law Nadine, who passed away when Kevin was a teenager. But the greenhouse didn’t fade away— “When Nadine passed away, Paul (Kevin’s dad) continued the greenhouse and Kevin’s Aunt Elsie helped keep it going. Aunt Elsie helped with her knowledge of when to do things and her time; after her and her husband retired from farming in the mid-1990s.” Kevin and Jill, with their son Blake took over the operation, continuing the growth, expanding and flourishing the business.
“Nadine did not see any of the greenhouses that are here today. As stated the business started with a 6 x 8 greenhouse and it had many additions over the years. That led to buildings that felt like a sweat
shack, to greenhouses that now have automated roof systems with digitally controlled temperature-controlled roofs,” Jill said.
While the greenhouses have grown and the technology has changed, one thing remains constant—the care and passion for every plant they grow.
“We offer our customers as much variety as we can, keeping the loved sellers but still bringing in the new bedding plants and exotics! We of course have veggies and herbs and some fruit. My husband makes barnwood furniture and we offer a good selection of soil as well.”
Choosing what to grow each year is no simple task. Behind every beautiful bloom and leafy green is a well-thought-out decision.
“There are many factors to consider, not only for seeds of what to plant and varieties to get in but to order slips, as well. How much space we have and what we are
deleting to bring in something new for our customers,” Jill shared.
Of course, some customer favourites never go out of style.
“Some favourites are wave petunias, begonias, superbenia, million belles, grasses and all things that trail, and of course, veggies to plant in their gardens.”
When asked about her own favourites, Jill laughed at the impossible task of choosing just one.
“I would ask, what area would it be for, what would it be planted in? In a bed, a pot, a raised flower bed, a hanging basket...etc. and the answer would be different for each.”
For those who are new to gardening— or even a little intimidated—Dutchak’s Greenhouse is a welcoming place to learn and grow. Jill is happy to share advice with those just starting out.
“A really good tip for this upcoming mosquito and bug season is Lemon geraniums and Lemon Balm. You can plant them in pots beside your door, patio set and fire pit areas. Break off a leaf and rub it on yourself and your animals. My Mom would rub it on her horses, 30+ years ago,” she said.
“Newbie or not, if it is someone who is skeptical about the whole gardening thing, there is some starting questions we ask them, and that will tell us if they want in depth or just scrape the surface to start. Whatever point a person may be at, we try to make them feel comfortable about the process.”
And if arranging flower pots sounds daunting, don’t worry—Dutchak’s has you covered. They accept pre-orders for custom pot arrangements and even reserve space for weddings on a first-come basis.
Whether you’re a seasoned green thumb or a gardening rookie, Dutchak’s Greenhouse offers a colourful, friendly experience grounded in decades of family tradition and floral passion. “We want to thank our loyal and new customers for their support!” Jill said.

The Return Of The Peregrine Falcon: A Canadian Conservation Success
The peregrine falcon was once a symbol of wilderness and sky across Canada. In the mid-twentieth century, these falcons faced a devastating decline. By 1970, these powerful birds of prey had nearly vanished across Canada largely due to the widespread of a pesticide called DDT.
Peregrine falcons were once found nesting on cliffs, river valleys, and even city buildings across Canada. As DDT use became more common their populations began to crash. This pesticide caused peregrine eggs to thin and break before hatching and by the early 1970’s the peregrine population was locally extinct in many parts

of the country, especially southern and eastern regions.
Recognizing the urgency, scientists and conservationists launched an unprecedented campaign to save the species. In 1970, Canada banned DDT, marking the first major step in the falcon’s path to recovery.
With so few birds remaining, researchers turned to captive breeding as the only viable solution. Using a carefully selected group of falcons from around the world, biologists began raising young birds in controlled environments. The goal was to reintroduce them to the wild, a challenge in and of itself.
To introduce peregrines back into the wild biologists used a method called hacking. Young falcons were placed in artificial nests high above the ground, on cliffs, towers, and even skyscrapers, where they could learn to fly and hunt while remaining free from human imprinting. These “hacked” falcons eventually took to the skies, beginning to repopulate their natural territories.
Throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s, hundreds of peregrines were released in Canada; in provinces like Alberta, Ontario, Manitoba, and Quebec. Urban landscapes unexpectedly became key recovery sites, with falcons nesting on tall buildings and bridges that mimicked their cliffside homes.
Thanks to the decades of dedication, monitoring, and support the peregrine falcon population has steadily rebounded. By the early 2000s, the peregrine falcon was downlisted from endangered to threatened under Canadian conservation assessments, and in some areas it was considered
no longer at risk.
The return of the peregrine falcon to Canadian skies is a conservation milestone as well as a reminder of the power of science, teamwork, and determination. From extinction to thriving in cities and cliffs, the peregrine’s story proves that even in the face of near disaster, nature can heal when given the chance.
On Friday, June 13, join Gord Court, Ph.D., Provincial Wildlife Status Biologist with Alberta Environment and Parks, Government of Alberta, along with Vinnie, the Ambassador Peregrine Falcon, for a special presentation at the Alumni Theatre as part of Lakeland College’s Alumni Weekend.
Dr. Court, an esteemed ornithologist, has spent over four decades contributing to the recovery of the
peregrine falcon in Western Canada. His extensive work spans the globe, from studying marine pollutants in Antarctic seabirds such as penguins to researching forest-dwelling owls impacted by industrial forestry in the boreal forests of Western Canada. Court’s lifelong dedication to avian conservation has played a significant role in the peregrine falcon’s journey from endangered to thriving. This is a unique opportunity to hear firsthand about these remarkable birds and the ongoing efforts to protect their habitats.
If you are passionate about wildlife, and conservation, or simply want to meet one of nature’s most spectacular birds of prey, tickets are now available for this engaging and educational event.

Calling all rhubarb lovers. Late spring and early summer is the prime time for rhubarb season. Rhubarb is one of the first fruits available on the Canadian prairies and prairie cooks have come up with lots of ways to use it: there are rhubarb pies, rhubarb crisps, rhubarb jam, cobblers and cakes. While we think of rhubarb as a fruit, but it is actually classed as a vegetable.
Even if you do not grow rhubarb,

Over the first half of the 20th century, a lot of people came to the Vermilion area because they wanted to settle there.
They knew where it was and it was the place they chose to be their home.
But sometimes, a person would arrive in Vermilion and realize they came to the wrong place. It was not the Vermilion they wanted.
Doreen Flewell Klatt Columnist
When was the last time you walked by a bakery and the smell stopped you in your tracks? Don’t worry; it happens to all of us. In fact, recently, we walked past a bakery and had to turn around and go back. The smell of bread baking takes me back to the farmhouse kitchen I grew up in.
We were a large family, and my momwould have a day every week when she would bake. I can’t even guess how much flour she went through back in those years. Once a year, Dad would take a load of wheat to Camrose to the mill and come back with many sacks of flour which were storedin the basement. She had a big, hinged flour bin built into her cupboards and a rolling board that had its own inconspicuous narrow space under the counter top that slid back under when not in use. She had about 8 feet of counter space and by about 4 in the afternoon, perfect shaped loaves of well browned bread and dozens of
Rhubarb Butter
you can usually pick some up at the farmers market, as it is in season right now. Always remember that the leaves of the rhubarb plant are poisonous. Rhubarb is mildly laxative. Research shows that it may be beneficial for diabetes as it mimics the action of insulin, allowing the sugar to enter the cell, where it may be burned instead of circulating in the blood. Because of this positive action on insulin, I would like to try experimenting with rhubarb and stevia for the sweetener. Rhubarb is not a good food choice to be eaten frequently for those people that are prone to form oxalate kidney stones. Rhubarb can
be easily frozen for later use by cutting it up into 1-inch pieces, blanching it for 1 minute and then rinsing it in cool water, patting dry and packaging it in plastic freezer bags. Rhubarb is also a good source of fiber, vitamin K, and vitamin C.
The long weekend in May is usually my garden planting weekend. This year it was cold windy and drizzling. I got most of it in, but the garden got to muddy to finish, so I am waiting for some sunshine to dry it up a bit. The rhubarb is up and while I assumed the stocks were still too short to use, to my surprise many were eighteen inches long already. My husband
loves rhubarb, so I picked some and cooked up a batch of Rhubarb Butter for his toast in the morning. Rhubarb Butter 4 cups rhubarb, chopped 3 tablespoons water 1/2 cup sugar 1 tablespoon lemon In a heavy bottomed pot, combine all the ingredients, covered for about 5 minutes, and then uncovered until much of the water is cooked off and you have the desired consistency. Store refrigerated. This recipe yields just over 1 cup, so feel free to double it. It keeps well refrigerated for up to two weeks.
A Case Of Mistaken Identity
There were other Vermilions in Canada, including Fort Vermilion in northern Alberta, that could confuse things a little bit.
In the United States alone, there were six other Vermilions.
It could all get very confusing for someone who didn’t know the country, and barely spoke the language.
That is exactly what happened in May of 1955 when a Yugoslav woman arrived in Vermilion to meet her husband.
When she arrived, she found out that he wasn’t there to meet her. It wasn’t that he forgot, it was that the woman, Mrs. Jela
Plesa, had arrived in the wrong Vermilion.
She spoke no English and received the wrong transportation after she got off the boat in Montreal on her journey to meet her husband.
The problem wasn’t discovered until she turned up in Vermilion, Alberta. She produced a telegram from her husband that detailed where he was.
When the Canadian National Railway agent read the telegram he realized that she was supposed to be in Vermilion, Ontario.
That small community was about 1,600 kilometres to the east in northern Ontario.
Baking Day
to the taste. The smell of cinnamon as the jumbo raison cookies came out of the oven was so distracting that we forgot what we were doing and headed to the kitchen; and is that a chocolate cake? The senses had kicked in and the smell triggered sounds of “mmm” “that smells so good”. My siblings and I were allowed to taste some of her creations before they were put in the larder. Our indulgence brought a feeling of comfort. Sometimes the neighbours kids would show up on baking day. My Mom was ever so gracious to share. They poured on the praise pretty thick, but I think it was insurance for a return trip. However, mom deserved it. As much as she thought her baking was plain and simple and a weekly task, to us it was a delectable experience. Mom also made pies for special occasions. A batch of pie crust made several pies, and she made many varieties of fruit and cream pies. She was famous for her vinegar pie, a pie recipe created (in my understanding) in the dirty 30’s when bakers had limited supplies. It was grey in color and didn’t look too appetizing to some, but those of us who dared to try something new or were familiar with it, loved its unique flavour. I have two siblings who still make vinegar pie using Mom’s recipe.
When we were in elementary and junior
high school, our classmates would have what we called, “boughten” bread (commercial bread, eg. McGavins) for their sandwiches at lunch time and we would ask Mom if we could have “boughten” bread sandwiches too instead of big slices of homemade bread which made our sandwiches! When I think about it now, how ridiculous for us to ask, we were so lucky to have homemade bread!! The answer was of course “no”, but years later mom and dad bought bread by the case from the McGavins bread truck that came around the countryside delivering bread. She taught any of us kids who were interested to bake. Some of my brothers could bake cakes almost as well as Mom (because they liked eating them). We had
After the confusion was discovered, the woman was put back on the train with the right information and continued on her way to see her husband in their new home in Vermilion, Ontario, rather than Alberta. Her story made nationwide news and she became a very minor celebrity for a week in Canada due to the confusion over the two Vermilions.

fun with food coloring too; blue cakes were popular!
As a baker myself, it does take huge time and effort to make these decadent creations whatever they might be, but it makes me feel so good to see the finished product. It’s definitely easier for my generation, as Mom baked on a wood burner for several years before she got a propane stove and also used regular yeast that had to rise most of the day and I use quick rise yeast and can bake buns within a couple hours. If I had to judge a baking contest, the baking out of the wood burning cook stove would win hands down. Wood heat adds a certain flavor dimension to the taste. Since it is rare to find a wood burning cook stove, we will be happy with our own. Happy Baking!

Regular Meeting Town Council Meeting Vermilion – May 20
Sonya Lee Reporter
Deputy Mayor Joshua Rayment called the regular Town of Vermilion council meeting to order at 6 p.m. on May 20. The agenda was adopted as presented, and a motion by Councillor Robert Snow to accept the minutes from the May 6 meeting was carried.
Shannon Paquette was then introduced by Deputy Mayor Rayment to speak about the Critical Care Anywhere initiative, which is supported by STARS (Shock Trauma Air Rescue Service).
“STARS has been there for people’s worst moments for over 40 years,” said Paquette. She explained that 56 percent of STARS’ direct operational costs are
funded through donations, fundraising, and lottery sales. The net proceeds from the annual STARS lottery alone are enough to fund one base in Alberta.
Paquette emphasized the importance of the service to the local community. To date, 95 area residents across the County of Vermilion River, including Lloydminster, have been transported by STARS. Of those, 68 patients were picked up in Lloydminster and Vermilion, while 27 others were flown from 13 additional locations across three provinces.
Paquette asked the Town of Vermilion to consider joining the 95 percent of Alberta municipalities that are currently partners with STARS. The proposed cost is $2 per capita, which would amount to approxi -
mately $8,000 annually for Vermilion. Council members engaged in a brief discussion, asked questions, and thanked Paquett for her presentation. They agreed to consider the proposal further and to respond in due course.
The meeting continued with the introduction of several new or updated policies and bylaws presented by the Administration. Some were motioned, approved, and carried; others were approved with amendments or received as information. The council also made a declaration recognizing the week of June 2–8, 2025, as Senior’s Week in the Town of Vermilion.
Residents who are interested in reviewing any approved bylaws or poli -

cies will be found on the Town of Vermilion website under the Bylaws and Policies tab. The administration also announced ongoing work to make council meetings available through a program called E-Scribe. Once implemented, this feature will allow residents to access meeting recordings through a link on the town’s website, offering greater accessibility for those unable to attend in person. The accounts payable total for the period of May 1 to May 15 was reported as $869,161.51. Reports from department leads were received, and correspondence was read aloud during the meeting.
Council moved into a closed session, marking the end of the meeting.
Shower House Renovations Completed
Lorna Hamilton Reporter
Vermilion Provincial Park, often referred to as “Vermilion’s treasure,” has received a major upgrade for the first time in five decades. This past week, long-awaited renovations to the park’s main shower house were completed, offering visitors improved comfort and accessibility.

Despite these many offerings, the park’s main shower house had not seen significant updates in 50 years—until now.
“The original showers were still there, with outdated 2x2 inch brown tiles breaking away, and the plumbing and electrical systems were in poor condition,” explained Rick Belland, project superintendent from St. Paul. The renovation project was managed by Tarkine North Construction, owned by Curtis Mine, and funded by Alberta Parks.
Belland praised the upgrade, saying, “The park is a treasure for Vermilion. Not many towns are lucky enough to have a provincial park right in their backyard where people can escape into nature. The Alberta Parks staff was very cooperative to work with to get this project done.”
The renovation included replacing the old floors and shower stalls with new epoxy surfaces that are both clean and slip-resistant. The water and drainage systems were completely overhauled, and new counters and sinks were installed with wheelchair
accessibility in mind, including the removal of sink skirting and shower entry lips.
“These new shower facilities really elevate the experience,” said Belland. “After a day of camping and exploring nature, now you can shower and feel refreshed right at the park.”
Lighting was also a major improvement. Previously, only half the shower area was lit. Dennis Fraser of Optimist Electric installed new lighting fixtures throughout, brightening the entire space. Additionally, Martins Plumbing and Heating tackled the inconsistent water temperatures and poor drainage by installing an entirely new water system.
The shower house now features modern styling with fresh paint, new soap and toiletry dispensers, and updated accessibility features—all while preserving the original charm of the wooden ceilings.
With these extensive upgrades, Vermilion Provincial Park continues to be a cherished destination for residents and visitors alike, now with enhanced comfort and accessibility for everyone to enjoy.

Second Annual BBQ Celebrates Local Health Care Providers
Under partly cloudy skies and warm spring temperatures, the visitor garden at the Vermilion Health Centre was filled with gratitude and good cheer on May 23 during the second annual Health Care Providers Appreciation BBQ. The event was held in celebration of Alberta Rural Health Week and aimed to recognize the dedication of local rural health care professionals.
The appreciation BBQ was organized by the Vermilion and District Health Care Providers and Attraction and Retention Committee and the Rural Health Professions Action Plan.
Chair for the Vermilion and District Health Care Providers and Attraction and Retention Committee, Kirby Whitlock delivered a heartfelt message acknowledging the challenges and contributions of healthcare workers.
“Thank you for being here today. I want to take a moment to acknowledge the incredible work each of you do every single day,” said Whitlock. “In the face of challenges that most people can’t even imagine, you all stand strong, providing care, comfort, and hope to those who need it most.”
He continued by noting that healthcare workers are present not only in times of crisis but also in everyday moments — from routine checkups to emergencies, difficult conversations, and moments of joy.
“We know your work is not easy. The long hours, emotional toll and physical demands can be overwhelming. Yet you continue to show up, give your best, and make a difference in the lives of countless individuals and families,” he added. “Today, we celebrate you, we honour your commitment, your sacrifices, and the extraordinary pact you all have in our communities.”
The event drew a wide range of health
professionals, including doctors, nurses, chiropractors, dentists, dental hygienists and assistants, physiotherapists, optometrists, and Primary Care Network staff, among others. Guests enjoyed a complimentary meal featuring barbecued hamburgers, coleslaw, potato salad, cake, ice cream, and beverages.
Also in attendance was Anya Langkow, Consultant for the East Central Zone of the Rural Health Professions Action Plan (RhPAP). RhPAP’s Rural Community Attraction and Retention (A&R) program provides resources to rural communities to help attract and retain health care providers.
Langkow introduced Carter Legan, a young man from Vegreville currently completing his practicum in Laboratory and X-Ray Technology Combined (CLXT) at the Vermilion Health Centre. Legan, who studied the two-year CLXT program at NAIT in Edmonton, shared how he first became interested in the profession during a “Let’s Go Rural Health” event at St. Joseph Hospital in Vegreville.
“Lab and X-ray were two professions that stood out to me at the event, and I was naturally drawn to them,” said Legan. “This event consisted of students from our school going from department to department and getting hands-on exposure to the different professions in a rural hospital.”
Although initially intended for Grade 10 students and up, Legan was in Grade 9 at the time and petitioned to attend. “A few were permitted to participate after begging the principal to allow our class. I’ll never regret our persistence, which ultimately led to being here today,” he said.
The hands-on experience proved to be a pivotal moment. “This was a factor that no presentation or pamphlet could ever replace, as we also got to speak with
current techs who gave us advice and input on some of their favourite aspects of the career.”
Legan emphasized the benefits of training in a rural setting. “Smaller facilities mean you become familiar with everyone, which makes collaboration and communication between departments much easier.”
His practicum in Vermilion also led to employment opportunities. “I was lucky enough to be advised to apply for the permanent position in Two Hills and also casual positions in both Vegreville and Vermilion. Being from Vegreville, I always knew I’d want to work within my home community. Those I trained under in Vermilion are very welcoming, and I’m excited to continue working with them. They’ve shown me what makes a great technologist, and I aspire to be as smart and diligent as them.”
When asked what advice he would offer other students considering a career in health care, Legan encouraged early exposure to the field.
“I advise those interested in working in health care to set up job shadowing opportunities. Immersing yourself in these settings gives you great insight into what a
career entails,” he said. “Too often, students pursue a career they think they’ll enjoy and are later surprised. With job shadowing, you don’t waste any money or time and can fully understand a career before deciding to pursue it. Additionally, open college houses are a fantastic way of connecting with current students and hearing their tips and tricks for success in each program.”
As laughter and the aroma of grilled food filled the air, the day served as a reminder of how deeply valued healthcare providers are in the Vermilion community, not just during Rural Health Week, but every day.

First Annual Ladies Night Hosted By Prairie Vision
Sonya Lee Reporter
On the evening of May 23, downtown Vermilion was buzzing with laughter, music, and the hum of local connection as Prairie Vision hosted its First Annual Ladies Night. Held at their 5010 50th Street location, the event drew in a crowd of women eager to enjoy a night of pampering, relaxation, and community spirit.
Prairie Vision, which has been part of the Vermilion community for just over a year and a half, organized the event to deepen its ties with the locals and showcase the vibrant network of small businesses that call Vermilion home.
“After a long winter, we felt like everyone could use a good excuse to get out of the house and have a little fun,” said Leanne Martin. Prairie Vision wanted to offer more than just a night out, they wanted to create an experience where women could unwind, reconnect with friends, and discover all the amazing local talent Vermilion has to offer.
The evening had the charm of a mini trade show, featuring local vendors that highlighted beauty, wellness, and indulgence. Guests were treated to permanent jewelry demos by Studio 04, insights into Human Design from Jenna Waltz, who also shared news
about her upcoming event, Unleashed, and beauty treatment showcases courtesy of The Beauty Hive. Sweet treats and refreshing drinks were available from The Red Brick, and Prairie Vision offered samples and testers of some of their premium eye care products.
The vibe for the night was simple, relax, rejuvenate, and reconnect. With busy schedules and packed calendars, the team at Prairie Vision wanted to remove the stress of planning and give local women an effortless way to enjoy themselves.
Giveaways throughout the evening added a touch of excitement, with guests walking away not just with new connections and memories, but also with a few special surprises.
The event, which ran from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m., was a clear hit with attendees. Judging by the turnout and the enthusiastic response, it’s safe to say that Ladies Night is on its way to becoming a cherished annual tradition in Vermilion.
Prairie Vision would like to extend their gratitude to the vendors and guests for making the event a success.

REPORTER: SONYA LEE
The annual Tigers Awards Banquet and Dance was held at the Elk’s Hall, drawing approximately 300 guests for a night of celebration and recognition. The event served as an opportunity to honour the dedication and talent displayed by the Tigers hockey club throughout the winter season.
The evening highlighted several player achievements, with awards such as Most Valuable Player, Most Improved Player, Most Gentlemanly Player, Most Dedicated Player, Most Popular Player, Best Defenceman, and Rookie of the Year being presented.
Many of the awards were generously sponsored by local individuals and businesses, including the Vermilion Savings & Credit Union, The Brunswick, Johnston, Ha’ldorson Adjusting, Mayor Jack McLean, Maine Line Ranch, and the Vermilion Hotel.
As a true community hockey club, the Tigers drew players and fans from Vermilion and surrounding areas, reinforcing the strong local support and pride in the team. The banquet was a fitting conclusion to a season of hard work, sportsmanship, and community spirit.
J.R. Robson Junior High organized and hosted a heartwarming Family Spring Social, that welcomed not only students but also their little siblings, parents, and grandparents. The evening was filled with lively energy and community spirit, as attendees of all ages gathered to enjoy music, dancing, and social connection.

Vermilion Lions Club Hosts Walk For Dog Guides
Lorna Hamilton Reporter
On a beautiful spring afternoon though overcast, the Vermilion Lions Club hosted its heartwarming annual Walk for Dog Guides at the picturesque Vermilion Provincial Park on May 24. The delightful event saw participants gather for sign-in at 1 p.m., eagerly anticipating the start of the walk at 2 p.m. Families, friends, and their furry companions came together in a joyous celebration of community and compassion.
The Walk for Dog Guides is a cherished event that raises crucial funds to provide life-changing Dog Guides to Canadians facing various medical and physical challenges. These extraordinary dogs assist
with vision, hearing, service, seizure response, autism support, diabetic alerts, and facility aid. Remarkably, every penny raised goes directly towards the meticulous training and placement of these incredible canine helpers. Since its inception in 1985, the Walk for Dog Guides has impressively raised over $21 million.
The Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides proudly notes that this event has been a fundraiser for more than 33 years, now recognized as the Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides. The event spans approximately 300 communities across Canada, making a profound national impact.
These specially trained Dog Guides significantly enhance the independence, mobility, and safety of their handlers, offer-
ing them a new lease on life. Despite the substantial $35,000 cost to raise, train, and place each dog, every eligible Canadian receives their Dog Guide entirely free of charge. The success of this noble cause relies on the boundless generosity of volunteers, donors, and partners.
The year the local Pet Valu was on site, as well as Canine Love Dog Rescue who had items for sale and three adorable puppies available for adoption.
“We have been organizing the walk here in Vermilion for the past 14 years and have raised a substantial amount of money for the cause,” shared Jimmy Cryderman, a dedicated Lions Club member and the event’s organizer.
“I am incredibly grateful for the unwaver-
ing support from Don Good and the other Lions Club members in making this event a reality. I’m also deeply thankful for the loyal supporters who come out each year; this dog walk holds a special place in my heart.”
Over the years, participants have come from Vermilion, Lloydminster, Mannville, and Dewberry, underscoring the event’s widespread appeal and regional significance. The Walk for Dog Guides is more than just a fundraiser; it is a celebration of hope, resilience, and the unbreakable bond between humans and their canine companions.
This year’s event once again highlighted the community’s dedication to supporting individuals in need. The Vermilion Lions Club continues to make a meaningful difference through their unwavering commitment and heartfelt efforts, ensuring that this beloved tradition thrives for years to come.
