The Battle River Community Foundation awarded a grant to the City of Camrose to support the operation of the Camrose and District Centennial Museum.
The grant is from income from the Ruth Ordze Memorial Fund, established to provide annual operating assistance to the Camrose and District Centennial Museum.
“This generous donation will be put to great use in various ways around the museum,” remarked City of Camrose Recreation and Culture, Camrose and District Centennial Museum coordinator Jayda Calon. “In the summer, we purchase supplies for our children’s programs and camps.”
Calon said the camps teach youth about local Camrose history and engage them through games and crafts, such as making their own log huts from pretzels and chocolate.
“We also do a lot of accessioning work which entails taking new artifacts and giving them a unique number for cataloging purposes.”
Calon further explained the process is completed by using special archival quality pens that allow the marking to last for long periods of time, but do not harm the items.
“The other aspect of museum management is the restoration and longevity of our archives,” said Calon. “We also purchase museumgrade archival boxes and acid-free tissue paper that we use when storing items of clothing. This ensures the fibres will be kept in the same condition as when they are received, preserving the items through a balanced pH level.”
Being able to continue offering valuable children’s programs and purchasing the necessary items required by the museum to properly archive historical items is made possible through generous donors.
“Thanks to this wonderful donation, we can educate, inspire and preserve our local Camrose history.”
The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support organizations such as this in East Central Alberta, which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future.
Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principals of these endowment funds are kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations.
Since it was founded in 1995, the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $7,550,000 to support charitable activities in the Battle River Region.

Due to inflation and food price increases, the fi ve-second rule has been extended to 10 seconds. Hallmark movies are so cheesy and predictable and if you seriously think I’m about to watch them, then you’re absolutely right. Where’s my hot chocolate, cozy pajamas, and popcorn because I’m going to binge-watch about 10! Everyone is posting pictures of their Christmas trees on social media and I’m thinking I should probably do something about the rotting pumpkins on my front porch. As I watched my dog chasing his tail, I thought, “Dogs are so easily amused.” Then I realized I was watching my dog chase his tail. For a long time, I’ve been reading The Booster ads, which detail the amazing selection of rum at Country Garden Liquor Store. Last Friday, I went there to buy a bottle. I rode my bicycle. It has a basket. As I was leaving, I thought to myself, if I fell off my bicycle, the bike would tip and I’d break the bottle of rum. So I drank the whole bottle and pedalled home. It turned out to be a very good decision, as I fell off my bicycle seven times on the way home! When someone says, “Stop living in the past”, I say, “But the music was so much better back then!” Don’t mess with anyone under 5’4”. We have to hop on counters to get stuff, don’t think we can’t hop on you like a spider monkey! I’m pretty sure my wife takes advantage of my selective hearing, because I fi nd myself in a lot of situations where I think, “When did I agree to this?” I went to an exercise class the other day. I stretched, bounced about, fell over a few times. It was agony! By the time I’d actually got my workout clothes on, the class was over. Things that made my toddler cry this week: • I wouldn’t let the dog drive him to daycare. • The bath was “too wet”. • He wanted syrup for breakfast. Just syrup. • His sister kept looking at him. • He wants shoes like his friend Jacob. (There is no Jacob.) If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, then doesn’t it follow that electricians are delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree trimmers debarked and drycleaners depressed? When someone tells you their hands are cold, there’s a 94 percent chance they’re going to put their hands on you to prove it. I’m not the perfect parent I imagined I’d be. But, to be fair, my imaginary kids were perfect. They say for every piece of chocolate you eat, you lose two minutes off of your life. According to my calculations, I must have died in 1630. Kids today are so soft. I died once when I was fi ve, and my mom made me walk it off.
Things I’m Super Good At
• Forgetting someone’s name 10 seconds after they tell me. • Running. Late, that is. • Making plans … then regretting making plans. • Thinking of a great comeback – an hour later. • Digging through the trash for the food box I just tossed, because I already forgot the directions. • Adding items to online carts. Then deleting them. • Googling my ailments. Then panicking. • Leaving laundry in the dyer until it wrinkles.
Then turning on the dryer to dewrinkle.
Then forgetting it again. • Forgetting why I walked into the room. • Calculating how much sleep I’ll get if I can just
“fall asleep right now”. • Buying produce … and throwing it away two weeks later because I forgot to use it.
