The year 2013 marks two big birthdays for the Village of Clinton.
Clinton is celebrating with 50150 celebrations throughout the year. It has been 150 years since the community was named Clinton and the village has been incorporated for 50 years.
The first birthday event was held at the 47 Mile Sports Complex with a free community skate on Jan. 20 that was very well attended by all age groups. On Family Day BC (Feb. 11), the Clinton Ski Club held a poker run at the Clinton cross-country ski trails, and Integris Insurance and Integris Credit Union held a Winter Family Fun Day at the Reg Conn Park in Clinton. All events were very well attended by families.
Great trails
The Clinton ski trails are reported to be in the best condition they’ve been for years, with an abundance of snow this year and regular grooming the trails are in tip top shape for skiers.
The trails are open to the public, but remember a donation is appreciated if you are using the trails – a drop box is provided on site.
Colouring contest
The winners of the Integris Valentine’s Day colouring contest were Glory Holt for the intermediate class and Brooklyn McMichael for the primary class at David Stoddart School (DSS). All students who participated were given a Valentine’s Day surprise.
