Veterans Trail Park which surrounds Vegreville Cenotaph has undergone several improvements which began in August of 2020. Diane Fausak, Past President of Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 39, said their goal in developing this area was to create a beautiful and peaceful park for the community and to pay tribute to past, present, and future veterans. “With the assistance of the Town of Vegreville’s Parks and Recreation Manager Mike van der Torre and the amazing work of our contractors, this project came together quickly last summer.” Fausak said they were so thankful for the expertise and workmanship of the contractors who installed
eight feet of walking paths and designed the three flower beds. On June 4, the sod was removed in areas of the park to make room for some new trees. The topsoil, trees, shrubs, perennials, and mulch were all donated for the project. Labour used in the construction of wooden arbors as well as the digging and planting trees was also donated for the project. “We have received some very amazing donations from our local community and RCL Branch No. 39 members. We couldn’t have achieved what we did without the support of all those involved and those who worked quietly behind the scenes to assist with the project. We are now adding wheelchair access picnic tables this summer so our community can really begin to make this a place to visit.” Fausak went on to say, “I would eventually like to curb the trees by putting some cement edging around them.” She also provided some guidance and manual labour during the planning and implementation of the plan. “I feel that this has been a big transformation from an open field it was to the park it is today. My job has been a great joy to me to be able to beautify parks, landscapes, and yards,” stated Reid Robert.

Vegreville Hospitals Auxiliary Society Members Vote to Dissolve Organization Yvette Pedersen Submitted As current president of the Vegreville Hospitals Auxiliary Society it saddens me to advise the residents of Vegreville and Area that the membership has voted to dissolve the 83-year-old organization. The group has been volunteering in the community for a long, long time, caring for the young and the old; mainly the old in most recent years. For many years our main fundraiser was the St. Patrick’s luncheon and internal donations. With no new members joining
or existing members not able to take on an executive position we have had no other alternative. It has been a pleasure and an honour to serve the community and we wish you all the best.
