You can avoid having to social distance and strangers by purchasing tickets for digital access at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre. The Lougheed Centre has four events that will provide digital access. You can watch the show at your convenience, even up to three days after it has been performed. Watch with your whole family, or bring your friends over because when you buy one ticket, you can share the event with your family or cohorts. Seats are limited, but digital access tickets give you another entertainment option. Digital access is available for Yuk-Yuk’s Comedy on Sept. 17 and Oct. 15, Marv n’ Berry Sketch Comedy Night on Sept. 24 and Prairie Debut Alumna and Friends on Oct. 4. The comedy shows begin at 7:30 p.m. and the Prairie Debut classical music show starts at 2 p.m.

Comedy shows return to Lougheed By Murray Green
The Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre will soon filled with laughter again. Two Yuk-Yuk’s performances will be coming to Camrose for live stand up comedy nights. The comedy series, each featuring three comedians, will have one show on Sept. 17 and another on Oct. 15, both beginning at 7:30 p.m. Tickets will be limited to ensure the safety of patrons. Headlining the event is Alberta comedian, Sean Lecomber, a favourite on CBC’s The Debaters. Sean
has written for This Hour Has 22 Minutes and he has appeared at the Halifax and Winnipeg Comedy festivals. Comedian Sterling Scott is the emcee of the first night and he is often described as a high-energy performer and a crowd favourite. He’s considered one of comedy’s rising stars. The night will also feature Edmonton comedian, Brent Ayton, who has won acclaim as Edmonton’s Funniest Person. Along with handhygiene reminders, physical distancing markers
have been added to the lobby and ticketing for cohort groups has been created. The cohort group option allows ticket-buyers an opportunity to sit within pods of two to five people, while creating physical distance spacing for the next group. “We wanted to ensure an easy way for patrons to purchase tickets, while also remaining within provincial safety guidelines,” said Nick Beach, general manager of the Lougheed Centre.
Alberta turned 115 this month By Murray Green
On Sept. 1, 115 years ago, Alberta became a province. “Alberta’s history of human habitation dates back more than 10,000 years when the first Indigenous people migrated to Alberta to find a land rich in bounty. To this day, as millions more people have made Alberta home, it remains a land rich in resources, culture and human endeavour,” said
Premier Jason Kenney. “Albertans have celebrated years of growth and economic prosperity, but also the challenges of the Spanish Flu pandemic, drought, global depression and the loss of young lives defending freedom in two world wars, Korea and Afghanistan. This past year, we have faced the challenges of the COVID pandemic, collapse in oil prices and a global recession,” he added.
“Yet, as Albertans have always done–from the protracted fight to wrestle ownership of our own natural resources from the federal government in 1930, to our responsible civic response to slowing the spread of COVID today–we will once again emerge stronger,” said Premier Kenney. He officially declared Sept. 1 as Alberta Day to celebrate the province.
Fresh Fish
Friday
If you enjoy fresh fish, Fridays just got better for you. A delivery of fresh fish arrives every week at the Norsemen Inn. It could be salmon, sole, ocean perch, arctic char or cod. Our cod fish and chips, using a batter made from fresh beer brewed here, is one you won’t soon forget.
Join us this Friday for the catch of the day.
