Todayville Features Historic Ghosts
As you look at our site, you’ll notice that we are giving a nod to history and featuring images of Red Deer’s Ghost Collection. To date we have featured Reverend Leonard Gaetz, “Waiting for Gordon” (Julietta Sorensen), “Let the Music Play” (Keith Mann), and “Sound the Alarm” (The Firehall).
We hope you enjoy seeing these types of images of Red Deer. As we move forward we will feature other images from the 10 Ghosts that make up the Ghost Project. There is a walking tour and the map along with details on the history of each ghost are available here.
If you have striking images of Red Deer that you think would look good on our site and be meaningful to our audience, let us know. We’d love to feature strong engaging images throughout the site.

Celebrate Canadian Environment Week by Volunteering at the Green Deer River Valley Cleanup, June 10!

Formerly called the Red Deer River Cleanup, the Green Deer River Valley Cleanup will take place at the Kerry Wood Nature Centre from 12:00–3:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 10, 2023.
This annual spring initiative draws volunteers from across the city to join forces to keep our waterways clean and safe by spending the afternoon picking up litter near the Red Deer River and in the surrounding river valley.
Refreshments and prize raffle to follow litter cleanup! There will be over $1500 in prizes for volunteers; including two grand prizes donated by NOVA Chemicals. Each grand prize includes one full-size patio heater.

2. Return to the Kerry Wood Nature Centre between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. to hand in your unused supplies and enjoy some light refreshments.
3. Prize raffle will begin shortly after 3:00 p.m.

Later this month, someone is going to win this 3,049 sq ft beauty, built by Sorento Custom Homes.
The 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath bungalow is located in the new Evergreen neighbourhood, backing on to protected green space which a lucky family will be enjoying through a large wall of windows, and a cozy screened patio.
Don’t wait any longer to buy tickets for a chance at 124 prizes valued at over 1.2 million dollars. And.. Don’t forget the Mega Bucks 50 Raffle which is over a half million dollars – winner takes half!
Major prizes also include a 2022 Extreme Outdoors Mini MAX trailer, LG 55″ TV, Patio furniture set, Daymak Electric Bike, Camping set, Dyson Cordless Vacuums, Hisense portable air conditioner, Gyroor Scooter, PADERNO cookware set, and a Cuisinart small appliance package.
