Christmas Dinner held at the Legion
By Murray Green
A Christmas dinner will be served at the Camrose Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion from 4 to 7 p.m. on December 25.
“This is our second dinner, because it was cancelled last year. Marilyn and I came up with this idea because there are so many people who are alone on Christmas Day or families have gone different directions, or are far away,” said co-organizer Jeanne Trachy.
Back in 2019, Gina and Marilyn Weber, both who work at the Legion, decided to provide a supper on December 25. Soon they had a lot of volunteers.
“We asked people to let us know if they were coming so that we knew how many people we had to feed. We cooked eight turkeys and fed 180 people last time. They were not just Legion members, but people from the community who wanted a place to go,” shared Jeanne.
The dinner is for families to get together and enjoy turkey, ham, potatoes, vegetables and even pie.
“The Legion offered us the space and the kitchen for the dinner, but this is not a Legion event,” added Jeanne. “Once we started talking about it, people were offering us things like a free turkey or ham. They were extremely generous and the community was awesome. We even had volunteers come in on Christmas Eve day and peel potatoes for us and cook the turkeys.”
On a Monday, a group of volunteers made cabbage rolls ahead of time, so they are ready to go.
“The amount of donations and volunteer time has blown us away. I’m okay with doing this on Christmas Day because it is a feel-good thing as well. I’m happy people can get together and enjoy a meal,” said Jeanne. “All they have to do is find a way to get down here.”
The dinner is free, but you must register by December 15 by calling 780-672-3325. If anyone would like to play music during the dinner, they can contact Jeanne or Marilyn as well. You must provide a vaccination QR code to enter the Legion.

Kodiaks clip Eagles in overtime
By Murray Green
The Camrose Kodiaks scored four straight goals to defeat the Calgary Canucks 5-2 on November 30. Michael Horon and Owen Dean tallied two goals each to lead the charge on offence. Michael Lovsin added a single marker.
After the Canucks opened the scoring, Camrose fought back with four in a row and led 3-1 after 20 minutes and 4-2 after the middle frame. Goalie Logan Willcott stopped 20 of 22 shots directed his way. Camrose fired 37 shots at the Calgary cage.
The Kodiaks needed extra time to ground the Canmore Eagles 4-3 in Alberta Junior Hockey League action on November 28. The Kodiaks netted the only goal in the first period when Callum Gau scored on a power play.
In the middle frame, it was all Canmore as they battled back with three straight goals. They mounted a comeback when they scored shorthanded six minutes into the period.
The Kodiaks scored two tallies within 47 seconds in the third to tie the game. Horon and Roc Truman, with the equalizer, replied for Camrose.
A penalty late in the third period carried into overtime and it cost the Eagles. Ryan Sullivan made them pay just 37 seconds into the extra frame.
Kodiaks goalie Nicholas Jones turned away 24 of 27 shots fired in his direction, while his teammates recorded 28 shots on goal.
Camrose dropped a 7-4 decision to the Bonnyville Pontiacs on November 26.
Blake Kondor of the Kodiaks scored the first goal, but Bonnyville rallied to tie the contest later in the period.
The Pontiacs shifted into high gear in the middle frame, with three straight goals. Camrose stopped the bleeding when Horon netted a power play marker with about a minute left.
Camrose closed the gap when Gau added a power play marker 33 seconds into the third period. However, Bonnyville scored a pair of goals before Carson Whyte connected for the Kodiaks. A late Pontiacs marker put the game out of reach. Goalie Spencer Welke made 25 of 32 saves in the Camrose net. Camrose counted 36 shots on goal.
Kodiaks host the Canmore Eagles at 7 p.m. on December 7 and Olds at 7 p.m. on December 8.
