Harvesting of the first crop of canola for the Vegreville Lions Club Community Grain Project took place on Sept. 17. Frances Sawiak, President of the Vegreville Lions Club, said volunteers combined 72 acres of the crop which was grown on the corner of Highway 16 and Secondary Highway 857 near Vegreville. Sawiak said the project wouldn’t have been possible without the generous support of local businesses and their employees who donated their time, equipment, and expertise so the community as a whole would reap its benefits.
