This is one of our athletes family home. Consider helping.

Many of you know Joy Clarke as one of the friendly faces at the Bonnyville Farmers Market.
This past weekend, Joy experienced the unimaginable when she lost her home in a devastating fire.

Our market is more than a place to shop.
It’s a community that looks after one another.

If you’ve been wondering how you can help, this Saturday is your opportunity.

We’ll be accepting monetary donations at the Bonnyville Farmers Market, with all donations going directly to help Joy.

If you’re unable to attend the market but would still like to contribute, please send us a private message or connect with Linda Boser, and we’ll help you make arrangements.

Every donation—big or small—will make a difference.

Please consider sharing this post so we can reach as many caring hearts as possible

The meaning of a word is shaped not only by its definition, but also by its connection to lived experiences.

As we near the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we’re sharing the definitions of common words as they relate to the experiences of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples in the Residential School system.

Today’s word is reconciliation: an ongoing process based on the principles of mutual respect, honesty and goodwill.
