When they're back at school this September, Rylee Stillborn and Meira McEllistrum will have a pretty easy answer when asked what the highlight of their summer was. 

“It kind of shows the depth of these two age groups in Rocky View, which is nice to see,” Barley said.

Three George McDougall High School football alumni are linking up on the gridiron once again, albeit this time while wearing the maroon and white jerseys of the Regina Thunder.

“Obviously this year was way more of a challenge than it has been in years past,” Barley said.

“It’s a tough lesson to learn. Being a young team, the post-season is definitely a different beast in itself. However, we’re very pleased with our group and the season that was.”

"I’m really looking forward to exploring Europe. I’ve never been there before, so I think it’ll be cool to have volleyball as my job and get to travel as well.”

Two hard-working athletes shared the spoils as co-recipients of July's Athlete of the Month accolade for Special Olympics Airdrie.

More than 3,000 young athletes were in action in Okotoks and Diamond Valley from July 20 to 23, as part of the 2023 Alberta Summer Games – and over 150 of them were from Rocky View County and its surrounding communities.

Airdrie's local men's senior C lacrosse team is playing for RMLL glory against the Edmonton Warriors in a best-of-three final series, with the winner claiming the provincial title.

The Airdrie Irish are marching onto the Alberta Football League (AFL) semi-finals after yet another impressive home win, this time against the Edmonton Elite on July 22.
