Centennial signs show up around town

Residents are asked to look at the new signs popping up around town.

Halkirk is preparing for its centennial in July. Signs are on the community hall, senior centre, village office, curling rink, fire hall, community church and a village logo on the post office.

The new signage comes from a company in Consort.

Winners of a gift bag from the Paintearth adult learning literacy day activities were Elizabeth Williams, Tayah Perry, Cale Neufeld, Abby Musgrove and Jacquie Dietrich. Congrats to all.

The grades 4 to 6 students also have basketball teams and played successful games at home against Christ-King school on Wednesday. Ms. Tracey Soldon is the coach of Halkirk Mother Teresa School.
