That's Life

Now that summer is here we can prepare for the Canada Day long weekend.

It’s Trochu’s big weekend with a fun-filled Friday and Saturday planned.

Father’s Day is coming up this Sunday, June 18.

According to my cell phone, Sunday is supposed to be cool and wet. As a matter of fact, once we get to Wednesday, June 14, or today, if you get your paper on time, it should be raining with a high of 16 Celsius.

Several events will take place in Kneehill County this week, starting with Seniors Week. Check your May 31
