Jumping out of a plane is something Lefebvre is no stranger to, as he has been doing it for 25 years.

After first fielding the request earlier this year, Rocky View County (RVC) council approved $65,000 in funding to help with electrical upgrades at the Kathyrn, Irricana, Beiseker, Acme (KIBA) Seed Cleaning Plant at its June 20 meeting.

“I never thought I’d come this far when I was just a rookie in high school,” he said. 

“It felt like everything came together in the end.”

Over 150 people came out to Irricana on Sunday morning to celebrate the official grand opening of the Meadowlark Trail – a non-motorized, 9.75-kilometre pathway that links the communities of Beiseker and Irricana. 

The Beiseker Lions Club is looking forward to welcoming visitors from far and wide for its annual Country Fair on June 10.

Beiseker Community School's Class of 2023 celebrated their impending graduation from high school with a convocation and banquet on May 13.

“I am very excited,” said Jeannette Richter, a Beiseker resident and the president of the Meadowlark Trail Society, which helped spearhead and oversee the trail's development. “Some of us started this when our hair was brown, and now it’s white. It’s been a long time.”

Recognizing the urgent need for assistance, the Beiseker Fire Department responded to AEMA’s request for additional apparatus.

The cooperative recently requested $65,000 to help with some much-needed electrical upgrades after recent instability in the local Beiseker power grid nearly led to potential damage to their machines and heightened risk of fire danger at the plant.
