On Feb. 27, the Mile 108 Elementary School hosted Ryan Laird, a guest artist from Ontario who presented to the students his “Biggerthanthat! program.

Ryan has been nominated twice for the Canadian Country Music Awards and he eagerly presented to the students his program on bullying prevention and youth empowerment campaign tour.

The program was well received by the Mile 108 students, as well as students visiting from the Lac la Hache and Forest Grove elementary schools with a total of 240 children in attendance.

Ryan sang a number of his songs, such as Hey Ashley and I'm Your Man and concluding with his theme song Bigger than that.

Ryan talked about some of the bullying experiences he endured through his elementary school years and explained how he learned to overcome and rise above the challenges to chase his dream of attaining a musical career.

His talk inspires and motivates students to strive for their goals in life and not to give into bullying tactics.

Hill is gone

Hair of the Dog Grooming has new digs.

The old entrance had a very steep driveway that was a concern for some customers, but the new house is more accessible. The house is located at the same address in the 108 Mile Ranch.
