Over 500 people visited the Vermilion Heritage Park on September 11 to enjoy the Good Life Institute’s Art in the Park event. Attendees were treated to lunch prepared by Lasting Impressions Catering and provided by Inter Pipeline as well

as cinnamon buns baked in the community oven.

Once again Good Life was able to offer two art creation classes with Monica To. Morning Masterpieces and Coffee & Canvases were well attended and participants came away with an art project they created. Both sessions had a great turn-

Josh Anderson, Good Life Institute Coordinator would like to “thank Inter Pipeline for their generosity as well as everyone who came out to support the community. It was a wonderful day in the sun supporting Vermilion’s Cultural Days.”

The Ice Plant Field Combined

Braxton Hoare Reporter

The Grow the Ice Plant initiative is a combined effor t of a few local businesses. With the goal of funding the replacement of the town’s ice plant many local businesses lent their time to help raise money through the growth of a field. The money claimed fro m t he s ale of t hi s c ro p will g o towards the purchase of an Ice Plant. ”It’s exciting to see the crop coming

off for the good of the much-needed ice plant in Vermilion.” said Shawn Jacula.

A c o u p l e w e e k s a g o W e b b ’s Machinery volunteered their time and equipment to spray the crop, doing their part for the cause. Last Friday, S e p t e m b e r 10 R o c k y M o u n t a i n Equipment and Ireland Farm Equipment went out volunteering their time and equipment towards combining the fields. Due to the harsh lack of

rain this year it is likely that the growers will be cashing in on some crop insurance in addition to their sales for the donation. As of now, there is no information on how much was made from the ef for t. However, Andrew McCrae wanted to thank ever yone involved saying “ We would like to give a special thanks to ever yone who participated in helping grow the field, including, Corteva for broadleaf herbicide, UPL for the wild oat chemi-

cal and BASF for the burndown. We would also like to thank Cornerstone Co-op and UFA for the donation of fuel and Rocky Mountain equipment and Ireland Farm equipment for combining. In addition, we would also like to thank Rusylvia transport for hauling the grain, and Cargill for marketing the grain. Finally, Marwayne Ag service and AMHL for hail insurance and MNP for donating the crop insurance.”

Town of Vermilion Council Updates

Dawn Riley Reporter

A Regular Town Council Meeting was held on September 7. Here are some of the highlights: In the next step of getting the Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP) Bylaw passed, Council held a Public Hearing at the meeting. There were no objections to the proposed bylaw during the Public Hearing. This will allow Council to proceed with second and third reading to Bylaw 3-202. This will happen after the County of Vermilion River holds their public hearing.

Deputy Mayor Pulyk moved, “That C o u n c i l f o r t h e To w n o f Ve r m i l ion approve administration to move for ward and finalize the agreement to allow for construction and operation of a highspeed broadband fibre network in Vermilion.” This motion was carried, so the final stages of provid-

ing Town residents with the OpenAccess Broadband Utility Network will commence.

Council officially recognized September 30 as National Day for Truth and Reconciliation as a statutory holiday.

The Council pre-approved The Old School Cheesery application up to a maximum amount of $15,000 under the 2021 Retail Development Incent i ve Pr o g r a m p r ov i d e d t h at s o m e conditions are met.

Council also approved the development of an underwing campsite at the Vermilion Airport.

The Vermilion Allied Arts Council Have A 2021-2022 Season In The Works

Dawn Riley Reporter

The Vermilion Allied Arts Council announced that they have a 2021-2022 season planned to begin in October. On Thursday the council announced their plans with regards to missed shows last season, and a plan to move forward as well as their policies regarding current/upcoming COVID guidelines.

The first show (October 16th), will be offered free to season ticket holders, in lieu of the performance missed in March of 2020. Non season ticket holders can attend for $35 per ticket.

Keeping a watch on the COVID-19 cases in the province, they have updated their policies to keep patrons, artists and volunteers safe.

“We are requiring patrons (aged 12+) to be fully vaccinated 14 days prior to attendance. Paper and electronic

records from your clinic or pharmacy, showing your name and date of vaccination, will be accepted. Records can also be printed or accessed through the MyHealth Records website or app. PLEASE NOTE: Health record information will be NOT scanned, stored, or shared. Theatre goers will be expected to follow mandatory masks and social distancing policies implemented by Lakeland College and the Alberta government. Patrons will be seated on a first come first serve basis, not in assigned seats. Cohorts will be seated together, with an empty seat left open on either side of the grouping to allow for social distancing as best as possible,” stated Vermilion Allied Arts Council.

At the October 16 show, a ballot will be provided for each theatre patron to share whether they would support the 2021-22 Allied Series with their attendance, or not. Votes will be tallied during intermission, with an announcement to follow. If a season seems viable, series tickets will be available to purchase after the performance.

The following performances are scheduled to happen, and season ticket prices will remain at the 2019-20 rate.

Adults/Seniors - $130/ 5 shows; Students $40/ 5 shows.

For this year only, the Christmas performance will be included within the series pricing. Please note: a meal will not be offered with this show.

The zucchini saga continues. Only two plants produce a plethora of amazing fruits, and yes, they are technically fruits.

Zucchini, also known as summer squash are high in several minerals, and many vitamins including five different B vitamins, vitamin C and K. The skin of a zucchini is 2 – 10 times higher in beneficial carotenoids, so by all means eat with the skin on, especially if they are from your garden or a neighbor’s garden that does not use chemical spray. Zucchini is a good source of fiber at 2.5 grams per cup. Surprisingly zucchini contains omega 3 essential oil.

Zucchini are low in calories, full of nutrients and it is so versatile that I am sure a whole cookbook could be written on

The Mason Open Their Temple

Craig Baird Columnist

T h e G r e at D e p r e s sion was a tough time for Vermilion as everyone struggled with poor crops, unemployment and limited money. When there was a construction project, it not only helped the community grow but it helped many who needed employment.

On Nov. 2, 1937, one such project started in Vermilion when the cornerstone of the Masonic Temple was laid down. Construction would soon begin on the building that would cost $3,000 to build, which would amount to $56,000 today.

For 21 years, the Masonic Temple sat in the Standard block but by the 1930s, there were enough members that a large building was needed. The original location was actually the upper floor of the newspaper office. The Vermilion Masonic Temple Association also saw it as something that would prove to be an asset to the town.

The ceremony for the cornerstone laying

2 eggs 1/2 cup sour cream 1/4 cup melted butter 1 cup old cheddar cheese, shredded 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon sea salt Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the shredded zucchini, onions, eggs, sour cream, and cheese together. Without stirring add in the flour, sprinkle on the baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Stir to combine. Pour the mixture into a loaf pan, and bake for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Top with additional grated cheese and finely chopped green onion, on the top, and continue to bake for an additional 7 – 10 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan for 20 minutes, before releasing it onto its side to completely cool.

would start at 4 p.m., officiated by the grand lodge officers. Following the laying down of the stone, a dinner was held at the Elks Hall.

One interesting fact of the cornerstone is that inside, there are copies of the local and daily papers of the day in circulation, as well as coins, list of members and other data.

The building, once finished, would be 30 feet by 60 feet, with a patent roof and stucco walls.

From this building, the organization would continue to thrive, helping the community in many ways and giving locals a place to come together to meet.

Utopian City In The United States Desert

Columnist

Billionaire Marc Lore has recently unveiled his plans f o r “ Te l o s a ,” h i s so-called “new city in A mer i c a .” T he project kicked off with Marc scouting for locations as well as hiring world famous architect agency Bjarke Ingels Group. With a proposed 150,000 acres of space for the Utopian city, all he needs now is $400 billion in funding to complete the project. Marc Lore has emphasised that this is not just a new city; he wants to rethink a lot of the traditional infrastructural components.

Starting with a clear goal to make the city eco-friendly from the beginning, he plans to integrate nature into the design. The cit y will feel more

like a large park, with abundant open space and roads surrounded by trees and shrubbery. For what little roads they do have, traffic won’t be a problem, as gas vehicles will be completely banned in the city, in favour of self -driving electric cars and public transport. Marc even plans to take advantage of his other star tup company Archer who specialize in flying cars in order to employ an air taxi service in the area. The Architects are placing a special focus on making the city with a so-called “15-minute city design.” This means that from any place in the city the commute to work, school or even amenities will not exceed 15 minutes.

T h e c i t y w i l l s u r r o u n d a m a s s i ve skyscraper; the hub of everything in Telosa, featuring hydroponic farms, elevated water storage, and a photovoltaic roof.

The city doesn’t plan to stop with its unique architecture, in fact they aspire towards implementing experimental political and economic ideas.

They say their “new model for society” will include a transparent government process in which residents will have the opportunity to participate in the decision making and budgeting process. Not only that but community members will be offered shared ownership of the land. Marc Lore has stated that Telosa will be the “most open, most fair and most inclusive city in the world.” It is not entirely clear what is meant by all this, however one can speculate that the city may include some sort of online voting where residents can login to cast their vote on a specific issue.

This all may seem too good to be true, and it quite likely is, as gaining the $400 billion needed to build the entire city from scratch seems nearly impossible. However, Marc has stated they will break up the construction

of the city into phases, where each phase only holds a small section of the city. This could allow them to start with just $25 billion; still an absurdly large amount, however a more realizable one. This smaller amount would allow them to start with 50,000 residents as soon as 2030.

Of course, even if they are able to get the large investment needed the project still has many experimental features that could cause it to fail. The experimental political and economic policies could completely back fire, the system of residents voting could be taken advantage of if locals don’t st ay infor m e d o n i s su e s. Fur t hermore, technologies such as the large focus on public transport with a near complete removal of personal transport could become problematic. Only time will tell whether this experiment was successful. Either way it will make a great study for what to do or what not to do when designing what the future of urban living will be.

At his news conference on September 9th Tyler Shandro, our Minister of Health, once again demonstrated that he is an embarrassment to Alberta.

He was directly asked if the government was considering introducing a vaccine passport. Rather than answering the question directly he gave a long, incomprehensible answer that included the ideas that it

was a “complicated” question that involved “demographics” and “geography”.

In fact, it is a very simple question, and the answer is based on ideology. If he is in favour of supporting the anti-vaccine group, the answer clearly is no. If on the other hand, he is in favour of supporting the majority of Albertans and seriously interested in doing everything he can to

reduce the spread of COVID, the answer equally clearly is yes.

The great failure of the UCP party during this COVID crisis is that they have been unwilling to take the necessary steps to stop its spread. The Premier pleaded with Albertans to “get the jab”, and introduced a $100 bribe for those willing to get vaccinated. Despite his claim that he had

“left no stone unturned” in his efforts to increase vaccination rates, he very clearly was unwilling to move to a vaccine passport. In short, he refused to follow the science and the wishes of the majority of Albertans.

PPC Leader Maxime Bernier in Vermilion

With an introduction from Lakeland’s constituency candidate Ann McCormack, People’s Party of Canada (PPC) Leader Maxime Bernier spoke to roughly 150 people Sunday afternoon at the Vermilion Elk’s Hall.

Vermilion was one of four stops that Bernier made in the Lakeland riding, speaking to supporters for roughly 40 minutes before taking questions from the audience.

“We’re here because our freedoms are dwindling,” said candidate McCormack.

Promising that the PPC would, “do politics differently” and that the party has faith in the Canadian public to, “make their own decisions”, Bernier highlighted the party’s strong belief in freedom of choice and informed consent for Canadians.

“There is a current deficit of $354 billion, the biggest one in our history. We have

to be fiscally responsible. To balance the budget we have to make cuts.” said Bernier. He also said they would abolish the CRTC, that the PPC are promoting pipelines in Canada, and would repeal all recent gun legislation.

Focusing on how the PPC can support the Western provinces with their guiding principles, Bernier highlighted the PPC’s philosophy that their candidates have a duty to fight for what they believe in. He emphasized that PPC candidates fully support the party’s platform despite having a variety of backgrounds.

Bernier also encouraged supporters not to vote against something but to vote, “for their values.” He pointed out that the PPC has stayed true to the platform they had in the 2019 federal election, and will continue to have after voting takes place next week.

“I believe we have more and more support every day, and I want to thank People’s Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier addressing supporters at the Elk’s Hall you,” said Bernier.

The Vermilion Voice | September 14, 2021

Lorna Hamilton Reporter

In 1908, the Vermilion Board of Trade lobbied the provincial government for a demonstration farm or agricultural college. In 1911 the provincial government purchased land near seven Alberta communities including just west of the Vermilion townsite and in November of 1913 the farm became the Vermilion School of Agriculture (VSA). The school was the first of three agricultural colleges to be opened and its first class was made up of 34 students which were all male. In March of 1914 a home economic course was established and this brought the first female students to the college.

With the hit of the 1918 influenza pandemic the school was converted to a hospital and all classes were suspended.

In the late 20s the school had to weather the Great Depression and during the Second World War, the campus was utilized as a training center for the Canadian Women’s Army Corps and students and all classes were moved to Olds.

AREA NEWS

Lakeland College

Since its inception the college has undergone three name changes with the first being in 1963 when the VSA was changed to Vermilion Agricultural & Vocational College. The name change was due to the rise in vocational training. Then in 1970 the name was changed to Vermilion College when the Alberta and Saskatchewan governments started promoting regional facilities.

Then in 1975 the final name change took place, and the college was to be known as Lakeland College, and was Canada’s first, and to date, only interprovincial college with regional campuses in eastern Alberta and western Saskatchewan, with only the Vermilion and Lloydminster campuses remaining.

The school has also modernized over the years and has adjusted to the needs of the community and industries and offers diverse programming from environmental sciences to power engineering, early learning and child care to business, interior design to esthetics, as well as university transfer, and a variety

of outdoor learning takes place on the college farm and environmental science program labs in the field. The college today has modern classrooms, computer labs and other labs such as in the animal sciences programs.

SCHOOL NEWS

St. Jerome’s School News

Anna Svenungard Submitted

Welcome Back S p ar t a n s! A n ot h e r s c h o o l ye a r at S t .

Jerome’s is off to a great start. Students, in grades 6-12, were warmly greeted on the first day of school by student council members with juice and granola bars.

These awesome Spartans came in a day early to decorate the entrances in our school colours red, white, and black. It was a lovely way to start the day, so thank you to the student council for their efforts.

Elementary teachers greeted students and parents outside of the school on the first day. They had a chance to take pictures and play on the playground.

St. Jerome’s is excited to welcome Miss. Seleena Hebert to our school. Miss.

Hebert completed her teaching practicum with Mr. Wasylik at our school a few years ago, and we feel blessed to have her back! Seleena is teaching grade 4, as well as middle and senior high French.

I sat down with Seleena and asked her a few questions so that we can all get to know her better. French is a perfect fit for Seleena, as she comes from a French family and completed her schooling from K-12 in French Immersion. She is also

an athletic force to be reckoned with, so we are pumped that she will be coaching junior girls volleyball. Seleena loves to hike, camp, and be outdoors! Her favourite artist is Taylor Swift and she loves Reese’s chocolate bars. Students and staff have warmed to Seleena’s sweet and funny personality. Welcome to the St. Jerome’s Family Seleena!

As we say hello to a new spartan teacher, we also sadly recognized that this year will be the last year that Mrs. McCormack will be teaching at our school. She has been incredibly influential, teaching 31 out of her 33 years with us here at St. Jerome’s. Mrs. McCormack hopes for some “normalcy” in her final year teaching with us. Throughout the years she has worked diligently to bring our Catholic Faith to life in our school, even running the “Faith in Action Team” for several years.

Her favourite subject to teach was always Grade 5 science and the highlight of her career has been finishing it teaching alongside her BFF since Grade 8, Mrs. Carolyn Martin. We wish you a wonderful final year of teaching Mrs. McCormack.

Volleyballs have been flying through the gym since the ver y first day of classes. Our teams are pumped to be able to play again this year! This weekend our Senior Boys team is travelling

to Camrose with Coach Lewin to play in the Augustana Volleyball tournament.

Our Senior Girls, coached by the talented Mr. Connor Grieve, will be competing in the JR Robson Megavolley tournament this weekend as well. Our junior teams have been practicing hard and are getting ready to see some game action as well.

The Cross-Country running team has begun practice in preparation for some distance run events happening later this month.

Thank you to all of the parents and community members for your support as we continue to navigate this year, it is great to be back at school!

Financial Assistance Available For Alberta Ranchers Impacted By The Drought

Dawn Riley Reporter

On September 7, the Alberta Government announced that Alberta rancher s c a n a p p l y fo r u p to $ 2 0 0 p er head through a $340-million support program. The program will be administered through Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC).

According to the release, producers can apply for an initial AgriRecovery payment through the 2021 CanadaAlber ta Livestock Feed Assistance Initiative to help cover feed and water

access costs for breeding female livestock across the province.

“Alberta’s livestock producers have experienced exceedingly dry conditions for months, putting additional stress on the very Albertans who feed Canadian families. Alberta’s government is proud to support the delivery of up to $340 million in much-needed relief to help our livestock producers make it through this difficult season.” stated Devin Dreeshen, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry.

Payments will begin after applica-

15

tions are received. Once applications are approved and processed, those who sign up for the direct deposit option will see payments toward the end of the month. Taking a feed-need approach, supplemented by receipts, a secondary payment of up to $106 per head will be available to producers who have experienced extraordinary costs as a result of the drought, in addition to the initial payment. Cattle and bison will be eligible for an initial payment of $94 per head and a secondary payment of $106 per head, for a total of $200 per

head. Other livestock will be subject to a different per head payment. Darryl Kay, CEO of Agriculture Financial Services Corporation stated, “ We’re here to support producers in times like these.

This funding helps Alberta’s livestock producers and beekeepers sustain their operations during challenging times.”

An AFSC Connect account is required to receive payments. Directions on how to sign up for AFSC Connect are available on AFSC’s website. Program terms and conditions are posted on AFSC’s website.

In silence we shed a tear And ask the reason why.

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

The flowers and leaves may wither, The golden sun may set, But the hearts that truly loved you Are the ones that don't forget.

God bless you Darlene, till we meet again Forever in our hearts and thoughts.

Treasured Memories of My Dear Mother, DARLENE KREITZ (nee McMinis), who left us suddenly September 14, 1978.

I will always remember the way she looked, And the way she spoke and smiled; The little things she said and did Are with me all the while.

She meant so very much to me, That nothing I can say, Can tell the sadness in my heart, As I think of her each day.

It doesn’t matter the day or year, There’s always the heartache, Always the tear.

Memories don’t fade, They just grow deep, For the one that I loved, But could not keep.

Life goes on, I know that is true, But it’s not the same without you.

Ever remembered, loved and sadly missed by daughter Lori

PET OF THE WEEK AUNTIE HEATHER

Annual General Meeting September 28, 2021 at 11:30 am Due to COVID-19 and pandemic restrictions we will be restricting access to the public.

If you have anything to bring up to the meeting, please forward any concerns or questions to

ceo@focusvermilion.com

Auntie Heather is a 2 year old German Shepherd X. She is as sweet as a button and absolutely adores anyone that wants to meet her.

Auntie Heather came to us as a stray and after completing her stray hold she went for her spay surgery and is all up to date on her vaccinations. Auntie Heather still has an abundance of energy and for that reason alone we would recommend her going to a home with older children, but we do not think she would do poorly in any home. She can sometimes be selective with her other animal friends but in the right circumstance and the appropriate Manners Training, we think she would do well with the right friend.

If you think Auntie Heather seems like the right fit for you then head on down to the SPCA to meet this beautiful lady today!

We would like to thank our community for their generous support and kindness.

Memorial Bench Placed At Pollinator Garden

Lois Kenzie Submitted

The family of Leonard and Marion Kenzie arranged to have a silver bench placed at the Pollinator Garden on the west side of town, across from the Senior Centre, in loving memory of their parents.

Leonard and Marion were long time active citizens of the Vermilion area and the family wanted to honour their memory and all they have done for the community.

Leonard and Marion met in the fall of 1947 and married on December 24, 1948.

Shortly after their marriage, they moved to the Stellaville/Buffalo Coulee area, purchasing a quarter section of land.

They raised 6 children, Margaret; Bill; Milli; Lois; Rick and Eleanor. The oldest 5 all attended Buffalo Coulee School for a variety of number of years. When a teacher’s strike happened in the county of Minburn in 1969, Leonard and Marion along with several neighbors fought hard to get the county of Vermilion buses to come and take the children and neighbor kids to Vermilion school.

Leonard was involved with the oldest two kids in curling at Buffalo Coulee School in the old curling rink there, and in the Vermilion 4-H Beef club, where he was a leader.

In 1973 Leonard was elected into the County of Minburn council and was involved in several boards including hospital and school boards. In the spring of 1974 there was major flooding of roads from the heavy snows of that winter and Leonard was kept very busy getting many roads rebuilt.

Leonard was actively involved in getting the county lines moved and the area they resided in became County of Vermilion, where he remained a county councilor until 1980.

Leonard also was part of the group that was instrumental in the building of the Vermilion Co-op Auction Mart, which now is North Central Livestock Exchange.

When he retired from farming, Leonard became involved in the Stellaville Historical Society, including the restoration of the St Helen’s Anglican church and placing of the markers at the Stellaville School location.

Marion was busy helping on the farm and running errands. Marion had a marvelous flower garden, and tended to them with care and pride. To this day many of her plants live on because she gladly shared many of her plants with family, friends and neighbors.

Marion was involved in the Heather Bell’s Ladies Group, serving in different positions of the executive of that group. The group met once a month and was involved in socializing, games, raising money for various charities and at Christmas time baking and delivering goodies for the “shut-ins” in the community (those who were not able to get out any longer—often having moved

to Vermilion). They also made crafts and did projects, including a making a quilt together. This club only folded within the last 10 years.

Many long term residents have fond memories of Marion working at the local Sears Catalogue office for a number of years.

While Leonard held the title of secretary of the Cummings Lake Mutual Telephone Company, it was Marion who did the books; sent out the bills and collected on the account.

Leonard and Marion were members of St. Saviours Anglican church in Vermilion.

Here Marion would be busy baking pies and working at the Anglican church booth at the Vermilion Fair, and other church activities.

Both Leonard and Marion canvassed for the Heart and Stroke Fund and later the Cancer Association.

Marion passed away October 2018, just two months short of them celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary. With the loss of his life partner, Leonard struggled on until July 2020, when he joined her in eternity.

Leonard and Marion believed in living their life to the fullest; in working hard, and weren’t afraid to get involved in the betterment of society. They showed kindness to others and were quick to help out any fellow human that was struggling and needed a

helping hand. They were true examples of good citizens and are missed by the family and many others that knew them.

The family hopes that the community of Vermilion will use and enjoy the bench and share good memories of their wonderful parents.

The bench was placed with the assistance of the Town Manager, Kevin Lucas and the staff at the Town of Vermilion Parks Department. Their assistance was greatly appreciated by the family.

National Day For Truth And Reconciliation

Cornerstone Co-op Submitted

As a Co-operative, our Cornerstone Co-op is a different kind of business - locally owned and focused on our values of Teamwork, Commitment, and Integrity. Our Purpose Statement is “Making Life Better in our Communities”, and we strive daily to achieve our responsibility as a cornerstone of our communities.

As local leaders in our communities in the journey towards reconciliation,

we are recognizing the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30th and have committed over 2,500 training hours to fur ther e d u c at e a n d e n h a n c e o u r u n d e rstanding over the nex t 12 months.

To accomplish this commitment, our Board of Directors, Team Leaders and Team members across our eight communities plan to: • Participate in Indigenous Canada, a 12- l e s s o n o n l i n e c o u r s e presented by the Facult y of

Native Studies at the University of Alberta. This course explores key issues facing Indigenous peoples today from a historical and critical perspective highlighting national and local Indigenous-settler relations.

• A t t e n d t h e 2 - d a y U n i v e r s i t y nuhelot ’įne thaiyots’į nistameyimâkanak Blue Quills cultural sensitivity training that is research based and celebrates and honours workplace diversity. The session

embraces and utilizes the expertise, knowledge and lived wisdom of Elders, inviting participants on an experiential learning journey.

This course reviews Indigenous World Views, Ceremony, Protocol, and Building healthy relations and community partnerships.

To acknowledge National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we’re hosting top rated international keynote speaker Kendal Netmaker to facilitate a series of 4 virtual sessions for our team leaders across Cornerstone Co-op as well as follow up learning sessions to help move them as individuals along in their journey of reconciliation.

We commit to long term and sustainable education where Cornerstone Co-op is taking steps to better understand the history of residential schools in Canada and provide educational opportunities for our Directors and team to pause and engage in reconciliation—it’s so much more than observing one day.

51st Annual Rusty Bit Horse Show And Gymkhana

Lorna Hamilton Reporter

The Vermilion 4-H Light Horse Club held their 51st Rusty Bit Horse Show and Gymkhana on September 11. The show had a good turn out with 21 participants ranging in age from seven-yearsold to adult from Vermilion, Lloydminster, Chauvin, and Marwayne.

Throughout the day par ticipants

completed classes in showmanship and grooming in the senior, intermediate and junior levels, as well as English Pleasure and Equitation in all levels, Western Pleasure Walk Trot/Lead Line and Western Equitation in all levels, and the attendees were judged by Jackie Holman from Lloydminster.

During the Gymkhana attendees participated in timed

Barrel Racing, Pole Bending, and Keyhole competitions.

The first Rusty Bit was held in 1969 and got its name due to the award that was given at that time, an old rusty horse bit that was tacked to a piece of wood made

by Jeanette Coutts husband. The current trophy which is presented to the overall high point winner is now made by Bill and

Jean Coutts and still represents the bit from the original show.

Jeanette Coutts, John Coutts and Jean Coutts were in attendance to present the high point award to Brynn Murray.

“It is so wonderful to be here today, and I am so happy to see so many in attendance.

It’s been 51 years so keep it going!!” said Jeanette Coutts.
