Acts of Charity show benefits St. Mary’s Hospital

Continued from page 13

“This is great for the patients to receive the supplies they need. The funds will be used to buy supplies such as emergency first aid items. This also helps reduce the stigma of mental health. Also, some people don’t realize that we have a 10-bed unit at the hospital. We have both outpatients and inpatients. This event brings awareness that we have been helping with psychiatric and mental health services for years,” said Tonya.

“I think a lot of businesses are thankful too because many family members and employees have been helped by mental health services. It helps start those conversations as well,” said Tonya, also the president of College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of Alberta. You can donate items like art supplies, toiletries/feminine items, deodorant, hair care, socks, slippers, dental care products for a emergency wellness supply hamper. A drop-off station will be placed by the theatre doors.

“We will have some art (a theme of his play) on display as well as in the silent action,” said Mike.

Men’s Shed

The Camrose and Area Men’s Shed was the first Shed in Alberta and, as part of the UBC Research Team, helped to develop the Men’s Shed Tool Kit provided on the Canadian Men’s Shed Association website. The Shed provides options that engage men, who through retirement or other life circumstances, find themselves with time on their hands.

“They are building some sets for us and they meet for social interaction, which helps mental health as well,” said Mike.

Men’s Sheds are open to all men regardless of age, background or ability. It is a place where you can share your skills and knowledge with others, learn new skills, develop your old skills or just be with other men for fun.

Infinite Imagination is now a registered non-profit organization so donations can be made to them or Unit 3 of the hospital. A mental health booth will be set up during the show.

The theatre group is looking for board and committee members and the first meeting will be held on September 11 at 1 p.m. downstairs at the Bailey Theatre.

Tickets are available at the Bailey Theatre Box Office and online. If you have items to donate for the silent action, phone 780-608-6371.

Buffaloes to start football season

By Murray Green

The Camrose Buffaloes are kicking off the 2022 football season with home opener games at Harry Andreassen Field on August 27.

The peewee squad will take on the Edmonton Raiders at 11 a.m., and then bantams tackle the Edmonton Seahawks at 1:30 p.m.

“Both the peewee and bantam teams are looking great at practices and are excited to hit the field this weekend,” said Buffaloes president Kim Kienitz.

“Our registrations have increased dramatically this season and we were able to move our bantam squad to the 12A side Mills Division in the Capital District Minor Football Association (our league). We have also added several coaches, including some former players, who have returned to their roots and are giving back.”

The food concession will open serving burgers, hotdogs, treats and beverages. “Come and support our teams and watch some great football games,” suggest Kim.
