Movie Night Express to Celebrate Bridge Rebuild Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent A bridge of friendship was coupled with the celebration of the 41 Combat Engineering Regiment Bridge Rebuild at the Elks/Kinsmen Park on August 24. This park was jam-packed with people enjoying the free Community BBQ, free Mirror Lake Express Train Rides which were brought from Camrose, family games, and children’s activities, as well as, a concession stand with food for sale which was hosted by Vegreville Community Daycare, while all this excitement wrapped up with a free prerelease outdoor movie of the Secret Life of Pets 2. Community Services Director for Vegreville, Phil Rowe said the town decided to rebuild the bridge at the park in the summer of 2018 and the arrangements and all the plans were made over the winter of 2018 till 2019. They wanted to rebuild the bridge as it was aging and had signs of disrepair so before it

became problematic; the town decided to rebuild it last year. It was a great opportunity to work with the Canadian Arm Forces Reserve.
Sergeant, Tom Troost said this bridge rebuild was designed as a training exercise for the regiment. “I started to plan this bridge on September 2018 where we
gave the Town of Vegreville a budget amount for it. We started building this about 10 weeks ago, around July 3. We had men from the army who needed training and this gave them a task which covered many areas of their training. So, this was really neat; it was a win-win for everyone. Then in the afternoon of August 25, the rebuild of the bridge will be completed where it will be rock-solid.” The Kinette Club of Vegreville were the main sponsors for the Movie Night Express where their community partners; The Kinsmen Club of Vegreville, The Town of Vegreville, Vegreville and Area Parent Link Centre, Vegreville and District Child Development Coalition, Vegreville Emergency Services (Vegreville Fire Department), Family and Community Support Services sponsored and volunteered for this event while Vegreville Iron Runners Club brought their vehicles in to showcase them.
