This past Friday saw a mind ‘gobbling’ surprise, as a wild turkey found its way into town on Westwind Road. The turkey curiously wandered around the neighbourhood and made good use of any food found on the voyage. In that specific neighbourhood, deer are more common to be around the area, in this case, a single turkey found its way.

Bikers and hikers that wander up to Thunderhill have an opportunity this summer to take a few throws at the disc golf course set up at the bottom of the hill near the Co-op Chalet. With plenty of trails to enjoy at Thunderhill, the new seasonal course provides a different recreational activity for those in the area. The temporary 6-hole setup will remain until mid-October.

Construction of the soon to be opened Benito Splash Park kicked off last week. Pictured here are employees from PlayQuest Recreation, who are building the splash park, along with committee chairperson Holly Kushniryk, Municipality of Swan Valley West (MSVW) Lead Hand Derek Chez and MSVW CAO, Kristi Ronnquist (second, third and fourth from the left). The significant project for the community is hoped to be ready for use by the end of summer.
