SUMMARY:BCPA Presents Dave Gunning
DESCRIPTION:With over twenty years on the road and fifteen albums to his name\, Nova Scotia’s Dave Gunning is one of Canada’s most respected folk singersongwriters. A multiple ECMA and Canadian Folk Music Award winner\, he’s celebrated for his warm stage presence\, sharp wit\, and songs that honour everyday heroes while speaking honestly about the world around us. Deeply rooted in Pictou County\, Gunning’s music tells the stories of working people\, small-town resilience\, and community pride.

SUMMARY:Diamond Valley Chamber: Tag Team Tourism
DESCRIPTION:Among businesses along the Cowboy Trail from Priddis to Longview\, there is a lot of ‘passing along’ of visitors from one business to another. It could be called “Tag Team Tourism.” \nTag Team Tourism: – a conversation between business owners to clarify your message and share ideas to coordinate efforts. \nThis happens every day at every business during the ‘tourist season’? Something like this…. \nGuests at Todd & Jaxy’s River Retreat Kananaskis ask about local attractions\, places to eat\, where to have their vehicle repaired…what would you like them to be saying about your business? \nTim at the historic Millarville General Store and Miss Marple’s café pass people along to Anchor D Guiding & Outfitting\, or the award-winning Eau Claire Distillery\, or Spirit Hills Winery; \nTarek at Blue Rock Gallery pass tourists along to The Westwood or Mike at The Stop\, or Danielle at Enlightened Herb\, or Krista at Sweet Briar Goods\, or the Black Diamond Hotel; \n…who recommend that people would really enjoy a stop at the Twin Cities Saloon – Hotel and Restaurant\, or the Water’s Edge Pub & Café in Priddis. \nMany fans of Heartland and Amber Marshall\, from far and wide\, come to see Marshall’s Country Store. \nThey often ask about other Western-style experiences. \nBohemia has customers from many countries in the world. Some of these come and visit the area. \nWhat would you like Maureen and her team to be saying about your business? \nPeople stop in at Rona\, or Hard Knox Brewery\, and often ask about things to do in the area. Or who could repair their RV? Or where to get a haircut? Or who are Ruby and Ross? Or who to call if they were interested to buy property in the area. \nThese conversations happen all the time! \nYou can’t buy advertising like this\, and nothing is more effective. \nIf other business owners in the area haven’t met you\, you won’t be mentioned. \nAffirming one another’s businesses builds local pride\, optimism and even resilience. \nMost local business owners that we talk to bring up this issue – cooperating with one another to help visitors have a great experience while they are here. A little coordination and communication would step things up a lot! \nBring your Ideas – what you wish would be happening in the region on this issue; \nBring Your Message – we’ll pull your business name out of a hat\, and you’ll have up to 2 minutes to tell us all what you would like us to be saying about your business. \nTime and Place:\nTuesday\, April 14\, 2026 at 6:45pm.\nHard Knox Brewery building \nHosted by the Diamond Valley Chamber of Commerce \nCome on out…and be the talk of the town.

SUMMARY:Christ Church Millarville 130th Anniversary Service
DESCRIPTION:May 6th 1896 to May 6th 2026 \nOn May 6th\, 1896\, the first rector of Christ Church\, the Reverend R. Murray Webb-Peplow\, conducted the first service at the newly erected Anglican Church in Millarville\, NWT. (It would be another 9 years before the province of Alberta was established.) He had come from England 2 years previously in search of an outdoor life\, and he found it in the beautiful foothills of the Rocky Mountains. \nThe Reverend had recognized the need for an Anglican Church in the Millarville area\, so he took on the responsibility of constructing the unique church that still stands today. It was built of spruce logs placed in an upright position. There was concern that the structure would not withstand the strong winds\, so the contractor\, Mr. Charles Shack\, agreed not to receive payment until the building had been standing for 3 months. 130 years later it still stands\, and its bell\, a gift from the Hudson’s Bay Company\, after it was unearthed during the construction of their building in downtown Calgary\, still rings each Sunday morning to summon worshippers to service. \nIn 1926\, the parishioners were alarmed to see that the unpeeled logs were being destroyed by wood-boring insects. The remedy: peel the logs and preserve them with applications of solignum. Today\, the work of the insects is still visible in the form of exquisite tracings covering the logs surface. \nThe pulpits and the communion table are made of small spruce logs. Hand woven kneeling mats in front of the altar rail came from England\, a gift of the family of Charles Douglas one of the members who assisted in the building of the church. The Bishop’s chair in the chancel was a gift in memory of old time Millarville residents\, Joseph and Elizabeth Deanne-Freeman\, from their sons and daughters. The stain glass east window behind the altar is a copy of Holman Hunt’s “In the Light of the World”. It was donated in memory of William de Vere Hunt\, a trooper in the Lord Strathcona’s Horse\, who lost his life in Pretoria on November 14\, 1900. \nOn Saturday\, September 26\, 1920\, a portion of the churchyard was consecrated as a burial ground by the Right Reverend Cyprion Pinkham. At this time a war memorial was unveiled by Brig. G.H. Bell\, C.M.G\,D.S.O. Engraved on a plaque were the names of those from the Millarville district who lost their lives in World War One. In the summer of 1998\, the column was replaced with a large natural stone from the area to which the original plaque was attached. \nOn Sunday\, May 10th\, a service of commemoration and celebration will be held at Christ Church\, led by our current rector\, the Venerable Alan Getty. The service will reach back to the past and echo the voices of the original parishioners both in song and prayer by using the 1662 Book of Common Prayer which is still the official prayer book of the Church of England and would have been the book used on that wonderful day in 1896 when the first members of Christ Church\, Millarville worshipped in their unique church. \nEveryone is most welcome to join us at the little log church on the hill at 10:30 on Sunday\, May 10th to celebrate the 130th anniversary of Christ Church. A reception will follow at the Church House.
