The Lodge Celebrates Seniors
Lorna Hamilton Reporter
On June 8 the Vermilion Valley Lodge hosted an outdoor hotdog/hamburger BBQ with baked beans, macaroni and potato salads to celebrate the seniors who reside at the facility for Seniors Week. Due to COVID family and friends were unable to attend, but the residents enjoyed their special meal and music performed by Kevin and Barb Nelson of Marwayne. The BBQ itself was donated by Pentacon, tents, tables and chairs were supplied by Piece of Cake wedding/ event planning and rentals and the food was donated by Cornerstone Co-op. After each resident filled in their lunch order sheets, the BBQ lunch was served individually by members of the staff as well as Board Vice Chair-
man Rob Snow and Mayor Greg Throndson, who is also a Board Member. Vermilion Valley Lodge CAO Carrie Kohlruss was excited to have the opportunity to provide the lunch to the senior residents to celebrate the important week. “ We are really honoured that we get to serve and take care of these individuals every day. Our residents have been through so much during this pandemic and they deserve to be celebrated. This is just a small token for us to be able to say thank you for all they give us and to show our appreciation for everything they have and continue to do for our community, “stated Kohlruss.

Town Of Vermilion FCSS Celebrates Seniors
On June 7 the Town of Vermilion FCSS (Family & Community Support Services) held a community picnic at the Vermilion Heritage Park to celebrate Seniors Week within the community. With beautiful blue skies and perfect weather conditions seniors from the community as well as Seniors from the Vermilion Valley Lodge, Lodge recreation staff, Town of Vermilion employees, Mayor, and Council members had the opportunity to participate in games such as giant snakes and ladders, and bean bag toss. If games were not a preference of choice, seniors could sit and visit or listen to music and song performed by John Jacob Karwandy. Town of Vermilion FCSS Senior Coordinator, Shirley McRobert welcomed everyone to the event before handing it over to the Town of Vermilion Mayor Greg Throndson. “I am glad to see everyone who has come out today, welcome.” “Good afternoon everybody, welcome,
thank you for inviting me. I am very proud and honoured to be here and be able to speak to a portion of the seniors of Vermilion. It is wonderful to see you all, could we have a nicer day except for maybe rain tonight,” commented Mayor Throndson. Mayor Throndson acknowledged his fellow council members who were also in attendance. “I am so happy to see my fellow council members who have come to say thank you to the seniors of our community. I see many familiar faces in the crowd. We have to say thank you to all the Seniors, no offense, but you are the people who built this community, the seniors under this roof and the seniors that aren’t here today. You all built this community, volunteered in this community, worked hard in this community and you deserve the right to be thanked and acknowledged on a day and a week like this because if you were not here building Vermilion and building our community, I would not be here talking in front of you and that is a big part we have to say thank you for. Thank you for everything you do in our community, it

Rhubarb Crisp
Dawn Hames Columnist
The lilacs are in full bloom and fresh g ard en r hubar b is n ow r e ad y to e at . 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, rhubarb relish, cobblers, and cakes. We think of rhubarb as a fruit but it is classified as a vegetable. Even if you do not grow rhubarb, you can usually pick some up at the farmer’s market, as it is in season right now. Research shows that rhubarb may be beneficial for people with diabetes and insulin resistance 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. If you would like to reduce sugar and calories, you can use monk fruit sweetener instead of sugar. Rhubarb is also a good source of fiber, vitamin K, and vitamin C. The red colour of rhubarb is because it is a rich source of anthocyanins which are anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and have anti-cancer properties. Rhubarb is not a good food choice for those people that are prone to oxalate kidney stones. Rolled oats is believed to decrease the risk of heart failure and cardiovascular disease by slowing down the buildup of plaque inside the blood vessels. Oats contain a fiber called beta-glucan, which has been proven to have the beneficial effect of removing cholesterol from the digestive track before it can enter the bloodstream. Nutrients in the oats called
Letter To The Editor Dear Editor I attended the senior’s lunch on Tuesday afternoon June 7th at the Heritage Park. There were about 40 people in attendance; seven was from the Town – Mayor, Councilors, staff and a photographer. The Lodge brought some in the Handi-van, but the attendance was low. This week I have been phoning seniors on another matter and talked with four who didn’t attend because they didn’t know about it. I read it in the “Talk of the Town” because I am privileged to have a
computer and link up to get a copy of it. Many seniors don’t have a computer. I read a story in the June 7 issue of the Voice about Seniors Week from Josephine Pan, Minister of Seniors & Housing and an ad about Seniors Week from June 6-12 but no mention of picnic. We can’t attend if we don’t know about it. Not everyone gets their paper on Tuesday morning! Not all seniors have internet so to the Town please reconsider how you communicate with us. Appreciate all you do for us but we need to know to attend. Lynda Moses

avenanthramides, help to protect the good LDL cholesterol from oxidation for over two hours after you have eaten oats. Oats help to stabilize blood sugar, which may be beneficial for people with diabetes, insulin resistant metabolic syndrome and obesity Did you know lilac blossoms are edible and have health benefits for the eyes? You can make a lilac tea by steeping the blossoms in hot water. Strain the blossoms out, and enjoy this tea hot or cold, perhaps with a serving of Rhubarb Crisp. Lilacs are full of aromatic flavor and slightly astringent. Lilac blossoms contain carotenoids, specifically lutein and zeaxanthin. Lutein and zeaxanthin are the only two carotenoids found in the eyes and are beneficial to help prevent cataracts, and macular degeneration in the eyes. Rhubarb Crisp Filling

The Vermilion and District Junior B Tigers would like to thank Ryan Earl for the six years he has dedicated to our organization. Ryan took the Jr. B Tigers to the playoffs all six years that he coached. This year the Jr. B’s defeated the Cold Lake Ice in the first round and he coached the team to an exciting second round series against Wainwright. Ryan was also recognized this year, as Coach of the Year, for the North Eastern Alberta Jr. B Hockey League. The Jr. B Tiger Executive, parents and players have appreciated the time Ryan has given to our team, and the coaching talents he shared with the players on and off the ice as he developed not only outstanding hockey players, but young men who continue to contribute to our community.
The Jr. B Executive are very excited for the Vermilion Fair. We will be hosting a BBQ at Copper Cork Distillery during the Vermilion Fair Parade. As well the Jr. B Tigers will be at the Vermilion Fair all 3 days for Bingo again this year and are very excited to see everyone. The doors open for Bingo at 1 p.m. each day.

Vermilion Becomes Little Turner Valley
Columnist
In the days before Leduc No. 1 was hit in 1947, the centre of the Alberta oil industry was Turner Valley. It was there that Alberta had its first major oil boom in the 1910s, and it was that location that fueled the oil industry of the province until everything moved north with Leduc No. 1. I actually looked at the history of Alberta’s oil boom at Leduc No. 1 on my podcast Canadian History Ehx, so check it out. It was in this environment when Vermilion suddenly became Little Turner Valley

N ever enough time! When you earn your living from the land, it seems as though there are never enough hours in a day to do all that needs doing. There are animals to care for, crops to plant and tend, buildings to maintain, fences to fix, and machinery that needs constant attention. Then, low and behold, you get a good stretch of warm weather, hurry to the field, and something breaks down. By the time you get it fixed and pull out of the yard again – it starts to rain. How frustrating! As Daylight Saving Time came and went this year, I remembered long ago when my father complained bitterly about the leap forward in spring. This disruption in his daily routine and the loss of one perfectly good hour was a great annoyance to him. He flatly refused to comply. Griping about losing much-needed sleep, he stood glar-
in the early 1940s as oil companies started to arrive and drill into the ground, hoping to strike it rich. By August of 1940, as the world was at war, Vermilion saw no less than four oil derricks pop up, 90 feet high, just outside the community. Before the end of the month, another one would be built. The first oil well was Battleview No. 2, which was pumping out 250 barrels of crude oil every day through the summer. Vermilata No. 1 was the other well, which was dug to a depth of 2,200 feet to hit the oil. Three more wells would be dug, two by Western Drilling Company, which had brought in $100,000 in equipment to the area. The third well would be dug by J.L. Wilson,
who had drilled other wells over the years in the district. These wells were successful and one year later, it was announced, in the National Post no less, that Vermilion was about to see an uptick in oil drilling. Imperial Oil was now looking in the area with the expectation of pulling out one million barrels of oil a year from their wells. At the time, oil was priced at $1.15 per barrel and the oil needed no refining, just simple cleaning, in order to make it ready for use. By November 1941, 14 wells had been dug in the area and it was believed there was room enough for another 50 drill sites. General Petroleums also planned to come in with a new unitized drilling

My brother and I were still in school, mom held a parttime job in Lloydminster, and we had various events to attend. “Alright, Les,” my mother said in exasperation as she prepared school lunches one morning, “You have to get the kids to school for nine, which is eight to you, and then you’ll be working with cattle till noon. But is that your noon or mine? Lunch congealed on the stove for an hour yesterday waiting for you.” She paused, and Dad purposefully made for the door, head down, eyes averted. Mom fell into step right behind him. “Oh, and don’t forget we have a concert in town tonight at the hall. We need to be there at seven which of course is six to you, so you’d better be in to clean up by four-thirty your time because if you show up at five like you did last week, that’s six to us, and we’ll have missed the whole bloody thing.”

She drew a long exaggerated breath, eyeing him darkly as she waved a peanut butter sandwich at his retreating back. Needless to say, this schedule couldn’t be maintained over the long haul and quickly passed into historic memoirs later referenced as, A Season of Trouble. Time is also a problem as we age. When young, I wanted to make my living as a writer but didn’t take the time. While I enjoy my job very much, I can honestly say that I did not, as a teenager, lie awake at night dreaming of becoming a bus driver. Also, returning as an EA to the elementary school I frequented as a child didn’t figure even remotely into future plans I’d mapped out. In fact, as I shook the dust from my feet on the last day of grade nine, I recall vowing never to return. Nonetheless, we play the hand we’re dealt, and I’m happy where I am. Is there some point to this tale, you may ask? Why yes, I believe there is. I have an excellent solution handed to me many years ago.

This type of setup eliminated 90 per cent of the set up costs of drilling, allowing a well to be dug for only $8,000, with the total cost of the well being $20,000 or $365,000 today.

This particular “Round Tuit” comes in the form of a small circular plaque, which is easily transportable and may be applied to any time-constrained situation you find yourself in. It’s rare, mind you. I’ve only ever seen one, but I’m sure you could locate another if you looked hard enough. In every situation where you say, “I’d have finished that project long ago if I could get – around to it,” or “This job needs doing, but I just can’t get – around to it,” you now have no excuse. Think of the possibilities! If you acquired your very own round tuit, a lack of time would never plague you again. Henceforth, I shall carry mine with me everywhere.

Both received several awards from the “North American Lily Society” and the “Alberta Lily Society.” Fred received the “Centennial Gold Medal” from the “Alberta Horticultural Association” and has lilies registered at the “Royal Horticultural Society” in England. The Lily bulbs left over after the plantings at the new Lily bed were overwintered, a few were shared at the Vermilion Library Community Seed Swap on May 14 and the remaining were sold by Alice and Joyce at the Vermilion Farmers Market on May 17. We are excited that numerous community members will proudly grow and enjoy the beautiful local breeders Lilies in their gardens.

This Is Hearts And Hands
When we set up in 2016, we researched food banks and services similar to what we offer and this was emphasized along with keeping statistics that do not include names, addresses, or phone numbers. We do ask questions, but also refer people to the food bank if requiring food regularly, the PCN, Health unit, Mental Health, Schools, Doctors or Nurse Practitioners, Library, Seniors supports, Alberta works, Victims services, Veterans liaison, and more. We deliver, and when necessary that day. We rarely refuse anyone, We only give what they need, but will give them all they need. We never give money or pay bills. We tell people where the best bargains are in town, and help them to budget their food, not just their money. We can provide a service directory for the Town, and have some cookbooks available. Asking for help is not easy, so we try
very hard to respect everyone’s privacy and not judge. We are not mandated reporters. We are simply the vendors that distribute what is given to us to give to those who need it. So once again a huge thank you to everyone who donates... especially food to our cause. The VERMILION BARGAIN STORE held a month-long food drive in May, and we were able to restock our shelves. They have offered another in the Fall. Thank you so much to Cory and her staff. As well we have been given 10 school backpacks with some supplies. These were donated by TELUS and filled by the MLA,s. Thanks to TELUS, GARTH ROWSWELL and DOREEN for thinking of us. They have arrived already and will be given out before school starts in the fall. Because it is hard to reach out for help, should you know someone in need of our services please reach out to them
with our number or give us a call. We do not do email or text but can be reached at 780-581-0521. We also are looking for persons who would be willing to be occasional drivers. Keep positive.

If no offer is received on a property or if the reserve bid is not met, the property cannot be sold at the public auction. Once the property is declared sold to another individual at public auction the previous owner has no further right to pay the tax arrears. The risk of the property lies with the purchaser immediately following the auction. The purchaser will be required to execute a Sale Agreement in form and substance provided by the municipality. The purchaser is responsible for obtaining vacant possession. The purchaser will be responsible for the transfer registration fee. The Town of Vermilion may, after the public auction, become the owner of any parcel of land that is not sold at the public auction.

Members of the East/West Chapter of the Alberta Carriage Driving Association participated in their annual Fun Drive Weekend on June 11 and 12 at the Vermilion Fair Grounds. Under beautiful blue skies for most of the weekend, drivers were given the chance to learn about combined driving events, including Dressage, timed courses, and Derby maneuvering. On Sunday, there were eight classes, consisting of Driving Reinsmanship, Driving Working Class, and a junior
7

The Triple Drive, which is the East/ West’s big event for the summer is in August from the 26-28, and this past weekend was meant to help club members brush up and learn the routine of events, as well as the etiquette of what judges are looking for as preparation for the numerous events throughout the province. Prizes were awarded, and chapter secretary Bonnie Brown hoped that everyone had fun and gained experience at the event.

Enel Green Power Moving Forward On Grizzly Bear Creek Wind Project
Submitted
The 152 MW Grizzly Bear Creek wind project is slated for completion by the end of 2022. The wind project is Enel Green Power’s fourth in Alberta and will bring the company’s total installed capacity to over 360 MW in the province. Enel Green Power Canada Inc. has started the main construction phase of the 152 MW Grizzly Bear Creek wind project in the counties of Minburn and Vermilion River in Alberta, Canada. This phase of major construction work, including turbine installment, comes after the Alberta Utilities Commission granted an updated permit for the project. “Grizzly Bear Creek will add diversity to the robust energy sector that serves as the backbone of Alberta’s economy,” said Paolo Romanacci, Head of Enel Green Power in the US and Canada. “Enel Green Power has proudly powered the homes and businesses of tens of thousands of Albertans with clean renewable power, which helps make power more affordable and helps Canada meet its ambitious sustainability goals. After more than a decade of serving Albertans, we’re excited to keep building with our next major investment in the province.” “Alberta is a destination of choice for businesses and we continue to attract investment. The Grizzly Bear Creek Wind Project is further proof of Alberta’s economic momentum and growth in our energy sector. This project not only creates opportunities in the local economy, it will benefit the province as a whole.” commented - Hon. Doug Schweitzer, Minister of Jobs, Economy, and Innovation.
Grizzly Bear Creek will consist of 34 turbines that are expected to generate 528 GWh of energy each year, enough to avoid 343,000 tons of CO2 emissions and meet the electricity needs of over 73,000 Alberta households annually. The project will include approximately 250 workers during peak construction and create around 7 full-time, permanent jobs for operations and maintenance. Grizzly Bear Creek represents a reliable long-term economic stimulus for the counties of Minburn and Vermilion River. Over the project’s 30-year lifetime it will pay landowners for the use of their lands and generate over $80 million in local tax revenues. Operations are expected to begin by the end of 2022. Enel Green Power invests in the longterm sustainability of its host communities, identifying opportunities to support local partners in creating shared value. As part of its response to the COVID19 pandemic, the company provided $20,000 in relief funds to social services agencies in Pincher Creek and the Piikani Nation. The company also provided additional funds to support food security and economic development through the Vegreville Food Bank. “This project is the latest example of how Alberta’s long-standing commitment to a fair, efficient and openly competitive market is driving the fastest-growing renewable energy sector in Canada. This investment also demonstrates the economic value of renewable energy in our province — creating jobs and leading to more affordable options for Albertans, without the use of taxpayer subsidies.” – Hon. Dale Nally, Associate Minister for Natural Gas and Electricity.
Enel Green Power currently operates three wind projects in Canada, all located in the Pincher Creek area in southern Alberta: Castle Rock Ridge I & II (105 MW) and Riverview (105 MW). Castle Rock Ridge II and Riverview began operations in 2020. Enel is also growing in Canada through its Enel X business line, providing advanced energy services including demand response and distributed energy resources. Enel X Way, the company’s smart electric vehicle charging business, is expanding across the country through partnerships with major Canadian companies. “Every single day, our government is working hard to diversify and grow our economy. Our plan is working and we want to make sure that every Albertan can benefit from our momentum,” said Jackie Armstrong Homneiuk, MLA for Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville. “It’s excit-
ing to see leading edge companies like Enel choosing to make new investments here in Alberta. Grizzly Bear Creek will create jobs and new economic opportunities while adding to our energy mix.” said Jackie Armstrong-Homeniuk, Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville. Enel Green Power North America is a leading developer, long-term owner and operator of renewable energy plants in North America, with a presence in 14 US states and one Canadian province. The company’s portfolio includes 64 plants totaling over 8 GW of installed capacity powered by renewable wind, geothermal and solar energy. Enel’s portfolio also includes 12 utility-scale battery energy storage systems totaling 1,290 MWh of capacity under construction or in operation. https://www.enelgreenpower.com/ countries/north-america/united-states

ENEL GREEN POWER WILL CREATE NEW OPPORTUNITIES AND HELP POWER OUR COMMUNITY For more than a decade, Enel Green Power has powered the homes and businesses of tens of thousands of Albertans. As our economy recovers, we’ll be there working with you to help Alberta come back stronger. The Grizzly Bear Creek Wind Project is Enel’s newest investment. It will support Alberta’s energy mix with renewable wind power and provide families and businesses in Minburn and Vermilion River counties with good jobs, new opportunities, and more tax revenue to improve local services like schools and roads.

Try Out To Become Alberta’s Next Artist In Residence
The Artist in Residence/Arts Ambassador is a program that seeks to inspire innovation in the arts and promote a wider understanding and appreciation of the arts and artists in Alberta, according to Alberta.ca The Alberta Artist in Residence/Arts Ambassador is a one-year term in which the successful applicant will work with communities across Alberta as an Arts Ambassador to promote the importance of Alberta artists and the arts, as well as, act as an advocate to bring greater understanding of the realities of artists and the communities in which they work. The Artist in Residence is also expected to communicate and share their personal experiences, perspectives on the artistic process, the roles of artists, and the contribution each makes to Alberta. The winning recipient of the Artist in Residence/Art Ambassador designation is also expected to complete an art project that promotes the value of the arts in Alberta. The recipient will receive a one-time $50,000 funding assistance to develop the artistic project and related activities, which requires them to document and provide access to an inside look of their artistic creative process for the proposed project, according to the site. It also states that the artist has to clearly describe the purpose and intended outcomes of each activity, and how this work would be documented. As the site further states, the Alberta Artist in Resi-
dence/Arts Ambassador is also a ceremonial position where the recipient is expected to attend and bring greetings for up to six government events at the Minister of Culture’s request, for example, Month of the Artist and Alberta Culture Days. Artists from dance, actors, writers, musicians, visual arts, and filmmakers-anyone from established professionals to emerging artists are encouraged to apply for the Alberta Artists in Residence/Arts Ambassador program by July 12. The residency of the program runs from October 1, 2022 to September 30 the following year. The current Artist in Residence is visual artist Aeris Osborne, and according to a press release “Osborne’s project involved creating 10 bold impressionist paintings of historical buildings selected to represent Alberta’s local history and different architectural styles.” Osborne stated in the release, “Being the 2021-2022 Alberta Artist in Residence and Arts Ambassador is a life-changing experience. The most amazing part of this journey is that I am able to meet a wide range of people who work in and support Alberta’s art and culture throughout my 10 Alberta Old Buildings painting project, community invitations and media interview. They are not only inspiring my art journey but also continuously enriching Alberta’s art value and culture.” Information on how to apply to be the next Artist in Aeris Osborne and her painting, 1913 Jasper Information Residence/Arts Ambassador is available at alberta.ca/ Centre, part of her 10 Alberta Old Buildings project. alberta-artist-residence-apply.aspx.

UFA Celebrates Farmers
Lorna Hamilton Reporter
On June 10, Vermilion UFA took the opportunity to celebrate Farmers in the area with a BBQ hamburger lunch and a piece of pie under some pretty wonky clouds and the threat of further rain. According to a press release made by UFA Board chairman Kevin Hoppins in 2019, “The roots of Farmer’s Day in Alberta can be traced back as far as 1914, when the Roseview (near Carbon, Alberta) local chapter of UFA hosted an annual gathering called ‘UFA Sunday’. The purpose was to provide local UFA members, regardless of their religious affiliations, an opportunity to join in a religious service, as it was considered that by showing the similarity in aims of the church and the farmers’ organization, good-will and co-operation would be promoted.” The idea apparently spread and was adopted as a province-wide event at
UFA’s 1918 conference; the tradition continued for many years and in time included athletic events, sing-a-longs, evening dances and speeches. By the 1940s there were calls within the organization to expand the celebration to engage all Albertans in celebrating the contributions of farmers to the province. In 1975, the Alberta School Act was amended to allow school boards an option to declare a Farmers’ Day school holiday on the second Friday of June in any year. This amendment remains part of the School Act to this day. Over the years the day took on many changes, but in 2010, UFA Co-operative Limited revived the tradition of celebrating Farmer’s Day at their UFA Farm and Ranch Supply Stores and Petroleum Agencies in honour of Alberta’s Agricultural producers, families and members. On top of the free BBQ, UFA is providing
The Vermilion Voice | June 14, 2022
their members the chance to get away on their dime. UFA members can go to coop. ufa.com/farmers-day and enter to win 1 of 5 prizes. The grand prize is a $10,000
Westjet gift card, 2nd prize is a $4,500 travel Voucher and there are three additional prizes of $1,000 travel vouchers. The contest runs from June 9 - 26.

Lakeland Students Bring Home Silver And Bronze
Lakeland College Submitted
Two Lakeland College students made a mark on the national stage, bringing home silver and bronze from the Skills Canada National Competition. Tyler Bendfeld and Khyler Yockey competed at the Skills Canada event from May 26 to 27 in Vancouver, B.C., after placing first in the Skills Alberta event in April. Bendfeld, a second-year carpentry apprentice, came home from nationals with silver. Yockey competed in aesthetics, earning bronze. “Skills Canada is a fantastic way to show the country the amazing work that our students do every day,” says Dr. Alice Wainwright-Stewart, president and CEO of Lakeland College. “We are so proud of the effort they put in here on campus, and the hard work and dedication they display on the national stage. Congratulations to Tyler and Khyler for making us proud.” Three hundred competitors from across Canada participated in-person in the national competition, representing over 35 dif ferent skilled trades. A secondary virtual competition was also held, with more than 200 competitors from across the country. “Skills Canada was an unreal experience,” says Bendfeld. “It was an honour to represent Lakeland and to know that I can compete against people from all over Canada and do well is an amazing feeling.” Yockey par ticipated in the WorldSkills Team Canad a Sele c tion Categ or y c om petition, hel d concurrently at nationals. Winners in the skills areas of this competition would go on to become a member of WorldSkills Team Canada 2022 and
move on to compete for the world champion title. At the competition, she demonstrated aesthetics skills learned in her courses at Lakeland, as well as additional skills she practiced outside the curriculum, including lash extensions and sugaring. “These were such life-changing experiences that have helped me develop both my personal and professional skills,” says Yockey. “It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that wouldn’t have been possible without the over whelming suppor t from the staff and students at Lakeland College.” Along with Bendfeld and Yockey the following students also earned medals at Khyler competing at Skills Alberta.

Buffalo Trail Public Schools – Let’s Remember Together: National Indigenous History Month
BTPS
Submitted
This June, Buffalo Trails Public Schools will join school communities across the county to commemorate National Indigenous History Month by taking the time to celebrate the history, heritage, resilience and diversity of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples. In the words of the Chief Commissioner of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and former Senator Murray Sinclair, “reconciliation is about memorializing those who have been victims of a great wrong…it’s important to remember because we learn from it.” Outlined in the commission’s final recommendations report, reconciliation requires
sustained public dialogue, including youth engagement. As such, BTPS is committed to immersing our students in “remembering” the legacy of residential schools and the asserted control over Indigenous peoples to prevent future tragedies. Through a shared commitment to understanding Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing, we foster the attitudes, skills and knowledge needed for positive change; in other words, our role is to help our students become active global citizens who appreciate and respect intercultural diversity. Acting on the principles and Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, BTPS supports learning of Indigenous education and ways of knowing through a Community of Practice (COP) comprised
of a lead teacher from every school. Meeting bi-monthly, this group supports teachers across the division by coordinating professional development, identifying resources, and incorporating Indigenous pedagogy and ways of knowing into the classroom. Our learning supports team also has built a Hapara Workspace with a large variety of Indigenous resources. As a one-stop-shop, this workspace allows BTPS teachers to quickly access ideas, lesson plans, internet resources, and professional development options that include Indigenous perspectives and are relevant to all subject areas of Alberta curricula. Leading up to National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21, 2022, BTPS students will be engaged in a wide variety of
initiatives to celebrate and honour Aboriginal peoples and their contributions to our province and country. In support of our efforts, we ask BTPS families to consider helping us “remember” by bringing Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing into their living rooms. Alberta’s ALIGN Association of Community Services has compiled “20 Great Ways for Children, Youth, and Families to Honour and Celebrate National Indigenous Month,” offering various activities, colouring pages, games, videos, stories and more. Various municipalities, too, are offering celebrations that would make a fantastic family outing. By remembering, we can unite as a community to foster this national agenda and build an inclusive society.

Investing In Career-Based Learning For Students
Alberta Government Submitted
High school students will have access to more learning experiences to make meaningful transitions to post-secondary education or the workplace. Alberta’s government is providing up to $4 million in dual credit grants for the 202223 school year so eligible school authorities can offer more dual credit learning experiences for students in grades 10, 11 and 12. Students may take this optional dual credit career-based programming to earn both high school credits and credits that count toward a post-secondary certificate, diploma, or degree, including a journeyperson certificate. Dual credit grants will support new learning opportunities that span many industries and professions, such as health care, trades, agriculture, and business administration. “These dual credit grants give school authorities the flexibility to design and offer relevant learning opportunities that reflect the needs and interests of their students, schools and communities. Students who participate in dual credit programming are able to personalize their high school experience and discover or build on career

Town Council Attends National Conference
Town Council members attended the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) Conference in Regina from June 2 to 5. The conference combined both in person attendance and remote access from home for participants at the first one since 2019 due to COVID. The conference, themed Together for Recovery, provided the opportunity for the Town’s Councillors and Mayor to network and connect with municipalities from across the country and discuss strategies for improving during the economic recovery. Mayor Greg Throndson found the

passions and interests. Dual credit can help position students for success by preparing them for further education or the job market,” Adriana LaGrange, Minister of Education. Dual credit start-up grant A total of $1 million is available to school authorities to create new dual credit programming at any school, or to support existing programming at a new school within their authority. High school students may take programs such as CTS apprenticeships, addictions counselling, aviation studies, hospital administration, Indigenous languages, and oil and gas production. Dual credit enhancement grant A total of $3 million is available to school authorities to buy new equipment or upgrade facilities to meet industry standards and better connect students to today’s workforce through existing dual credit courses. “We are working to create a more integrated education system that better meets the needs of students, industry and institutions. Dual credit learning opportunities empower high school students to begin their post-secondary education with relevant, recognized skills and training – setting them up for success in their chosen field,”

networking and contacts made during the four day event highly beneficial to his role as Mayor. Connecting with other municipalities the same size as Vermilion and larger centres provided opportunities to see the issues that are affecting communities across the country. Mayor Throndson found the four tours that delegates were able to attend very informative, especially Regina’s city landfill and their methane gas capturing, as well as the information provided regarding Cultivator Powered by Conexus, a credit union in Saskatchewan that focuses on start ups in the province. Another highlight for councillors was the chance to connect with incoming
FCM President Taneen Rudyk a councillor from Vegreville. To have a voice from not only Alberta, but also a community that experiences the same sort of struggles as any rural Alberta municipality could have a positive impact for small towns. “The past two years have only emphasized how important our communities are, both to our economy and our quality of life,” said incoming FCM President Taneen Rudyk. “Building stronger, more inclusive and more resilient communities everywhere in Canada is possible, but it will require unprecedented partnership among orders of government to tackle our biggest national
issues, like our country’s housing crisis. And municipalities are ready to do their part.” The conference played host to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities Dominic LeBlanc, Marco Mendicino, Minister of Public Safety, CPC MP and Shadow Minister for Infrastructure and Communities Andrew Scheer, and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh in a series of keynote addresses and meetings. There was also the opportunity to attend a trade show and numerous workshops focused on crucial municipal issues like housing affordability and rural growth— among others.
Vermilion Elementary School News kids sitting in desks sat upright and still with no fidgeting or squirming and no talking until asked by the teacher. They found out how to make butter and how farming equipment has changed over the years. They stepped into a pioneer house to see what life was like back then with no running water or electricity and how they would have had to make their own entertainment. The Museum had made scavenger booklets for the kids to use and this kept them busy looking for the items in each gallery. Eleanor Cleland stopped in for a tour and graciously answered any questions about the Mural she had painted in Gallery 4 over 20 years ago. The kids had lots of questions and were very eager to see everything. The Museum is open Thursday through Sunday 1 - 4 pm until September 4. If you haven’t been there, you should consider visiting.

We had our track and field day at VES on June 3. The weather was beautiful and the students had an absolutely wonderful day. There were five different running events as well as shot put, high jump, long jump, and soccer kick for students aged 8-12. The younger students had their own track meet that day with events such as frisbee toss, throw the rubber chicken in the hoop, and tug-of-war. Thank you to all the organizers and spectators for making this such a fun-filled day. We also thank the hot lunch committee for preparing all the lunch and snack items. After waiting patiently for over 21 days for the kindergarten chicks to hatch, the kids finally got to hold these new little ones. So much learning and fun came from this special project with the help of Charlotte Wasylik and Chatsworth Farm. Students made predictions on how many eggs would hatch, observed the different colours of the eggs, learned about chick development inside the egg and so much more. In the end, they welcomed 17 grey and black baby chicks into the world. The chicks stayed in the classroom for a few days before returning to their home on the farm.

Ahead of National Indigenous Peoples Day, we had the opportunity to learn and appreciate First Nations culture as we journey on the path to reconciliation. On the morning of June 7, our whole school gathered in the gym to enjoy performances from the Warrior’s Society Drum Group, from Onion Lake. Kevin John, former alumni of STJ and facilitator for Asokanihkewak (“They Build Bridges”), led us through the ceremony, helping us learn all about 4 of the 7 main prairie dances. First, we were treated to a jingle dance. Kevin explained that the first jingle dresses were adorned with shells in order to make the noise, now the dresses get their “voice” from rows of silver cone-shaped jingles sewn across the skirt. When the dresses were made with shells, each dress would have 365 shells attached to it, one to symbolize each day of the year. These dresses are considered healing dresses and are given to women who

St. Jerome’s Catholic School carry natural medicines, healing knowledge, and the leadership of prayer. Kevin explained that in Indigenous cultures individuals pray to the Creator through dance, as the drums ring to the deepest parts of who we are. Next, we learned about the Women’s Traditional Dance. It is the oldest form of Indigenous dance and symbolizes the strength and pride that women carry for their family. We witnessed a young girl do the Stationary Women’s Dance, where the girl stayed fixed in one spot while bending her knees, her feet never leaving the ground. Kevin also clarified that the Regalia each dancer wears is inspired by dreams, family cultures, and even family colours. The Men’s Grass Dance is based on ceremonies that would take place when parties were traveling or at war. The men would go ahead of the nomadic tribal group looking for places to settle. Performing the dance on the sacred ground would prepare the site for their tribe’s arrival and show reverence to the Creator. The final dance

we witnessed was the Men’s Traditional Dance. This is also a healing dance, performed in order to tell the story of a battle or hunting expedition. Following the conclusion of the dances, we were graciously invited up by Kevin to take part in an Inter-Tribal Pow Wow. This is meant to bring unity to all people and a way for us to participate and honour the First Nation cultures. Spartans in grades 9, 11, and 12 were able to continue their learning in the classroom with Kevin and their teachers. Students were split into 5 groups, and each group was assigned a true Alberta historical scenario. Students then had to take the perspective of the Indigenous peoples and try to come up with a “solution” that would have been fair or equitable. This exercise led students and staff to a sobering realization, given the historical circumstances, people in First Nations cultures were left with little to no good options for preserving their culture and belief systems. This lead us to better understand the importance of truth and reconciliation,
the importance of listening to their stories, and an appreciation for their past experiences. A huge thank you to Kevin John and the Warrior’s Drum Society for sharing their culture with us.
The sound of drumming and singing filled the St. Jerome’s gymnasium, as Spartans of all ages learned about Indigenous prayers and culture. This healing dance is performed in order to tell the story of a battle or hunting expedition. Photo submitted
