Fall Registration and Information Night

Rosanne Fortier - News Correspondent

People of all ages had a chance to explore what 34 organizations offered at the Fall Registration and Information Night at Vegreville Social Centre on September 2.

Anya Langkow, Tourism, Recreation and Culture Coordinator for Vegreville said, “People learn about all the resources we offer in the community from programming to resources and information about support services and having them under one roof allows people to see their options at the same time and see what is available in the community.”

Deserrie Ruptash, Career Consultant for BGS Career and Corporate Development said all their services are free. “I help job seekers with all aspects of finding employment from writing resumes, interviews, to online job search prospects and I can help employers by facility connections for people who are looking for work.”

Karri Scherger mentioned that Vegreville Vortex wasn’t able to have a full team of football players but in collaboration with Sherwood Park Northstars, the coach there is helping to ensure that the kids from Vegreville Vortex get to play, foster some coaching, and develop the Vegreville program further. “So, kids are going to be able to practice in Vegreville and then play in Ardrossan. The coaches will be coming to Vegreville to host some clinics and other events.”

Bonnie Litwin, volunteer on the Board of the Vegreville Gymnastics Club said they are hopeful to start up again. “Gymnastic is a good activity because it is fun and non-competitive. It helps kids with agility and balance. The club is in transition as it has not been operating for over 18 months. So, they are starting all over with a brand new slate of coaches and everything.”
