Talk to us today about the benefits of pre-planning funeral arrangements The idea of advance funeral planning is one which many people would rather not think about. However, planning your own funeral is one of the kindest things you can do for your loved ones. At a time of grief, your family members will be spared the stress of making important, emotionally draining decisions. Pre-planning also ensures your final arrangements will be carried out according to your exact wishes, in a cost-sensitive manner. Call us today for more information about advance funeral planning or to arrange a no-obligation consultation with one of our directors.

Seniors doing amazing things By Camrose Seniors Coalition
Camrose seniors are an active and integral part of many aspects of this community. The City of Camrose and Camrose County flourish with an amazing community spirit because of many volunteers and initiatives started, maintained and organized by dedicated seniors. Here are two of projects that have intergenerational support, but are mainly supported by outstanding Camrose seniors. As part of the Stoney Creek Day Use Park redevelopment, the Rotary Club of Camrose embarked on two interrelated projects. The first is the Rotary Pavilion Construction Project, which is an 1,872 square foot shelter for use by individuals and groups overlooking the Stoney Creek Valley, adjacent to the Rotary Four Seasons Park. This pavilion provides shelter from sun and rain for those who use both parks for outings and functions.
The second is the Camrose Historic Panel Project, which is also incorporated into this pavilion by a series of 20 panels honouring the human and natural history of this unique site. The lead on this project was Shirley Rostad, who spent countless hours researching, developing and managing all the details. Another volunteer in this project was Ron Grue, whose handiwork completed this useful space for Camrosians and guests to enjoy the river valley. If you are wondering how all those Canadian flags show up in front lawns in Camrose three times a year, it’s the organizational skills and dedication of John Stoddard. John started this project with team members of Rotary Club of Camrose Daybreak in 2013. His dedication to this project not only beautifies Camrose, but the funds raised by the yearly subscribers provide support to youth projects within this community.
The City of Camrose and Camrose County continue to benefit from the ongoing dedication of active seniors, who are always looking for new opportunities to enhance our quality of life. One example is in the City of Camrose. Neighbourhood Snow Angels pop up now and then, helping their neighbors and friends with snow removal. Snow Angels can be nominated now. All winter long, simply message Walkable Camrose via Facebook, or send email to walkable camrose@gmail.com with your name and mailing address. Walkable Camrose will send you a certificate, signed by our mayor, to give your Snow Angel in appreciation. For more information about Camrose Seniors Coalition, call Service Options for Seniors (SOS) 780-672-4131 and ask for Christina (co-chair), or call Plan-it Consulting and ask for Laurie (co-chair).
