Here's what's making news in Leduc and area this week:
• Laura Ring has the story of a young man whose
one bad choice changed his life forever.
• A local man has been
recognized for his brave actions during an armed robbery.
• Affordable housing expert Avi Friedman gave a two-day workshop in Calmar last week and dispelled some of the c
ommon misconceptions about affordable housing.
• No deaths in the news this week, but there are taxes — specifically
property taxes in Leduc.
• Fallen Wetaskiwin RCMP officer Jose Agostinho will be
immortalized in the name of the new Southfork park.
• A local high school student
has won a $20,000 scholarship for her engagement in her school and community.
• This year's raffle to benefit the Leduc Boys and Girls Club features some
big-ticket items.
• The parliamentary assistant to Alberta's minister of health wants everybody to
walk more, eat less salt.
•
Hello Dolly rocks! (And I'm not just saying that because I'm in it.)
• Leduc needs an
emergency women's shelter, council heard on May 11.
• In sports, local rugby teams
kicked off their season this month, while lacrosse seems to be g
aining in popularity. Also, the LCHS athletic field is going to be
renamed to honour the founder of the track club. P.S.: Don't call Laura the sports reporter.
All this and more in this week's Rep.
