Looking rather chilly

Bridge Lake's Celeste Faessler is the guest artist in Bridge Lake Library's Community Showcase for March.

Celeste is well-known for her many artistic talents but informs me that she will be displaying examples of "recycle-upcycle." Her imagination always runs wild to produce amazing creations from "used" materials. Be sure to drop in and see what you can do with an old sweater or toilet rolls.

Directors set

After their annual general meeting, Feb. 7, most of Roe Lake & District Recreation Commission and Interlakes Community Centre Society (ICC) directors remain in office, including: president Lorraine Jerema; vice-president Craig Charlton; treasurer Gyl Connaty; and directors Pam Canty, Carolyn Charlton, Jil Freeman, Rene LaFavor, Carney Myers, Brenda Norfolk, Joyce Shmyr, Barb Weston and Ken Weedick.
