| YMCA Of Northern Alberta Red Deer Location Now Open The much-anticipated Northside Community Centre in Red Deer is now open. The centre is in full swing this week, as YMCA of Northern Alberta has welcomed its first group of summer day campers. YMCA summer day camps will run all summer long at the Northside Community Centre, offering kids and youth in the city’s north side valuable sports, arts, cooking, science, and leadership camp opportunities. There are still spaces available in these camps, and registration is open. The Northside Community Centre will also host Teen Nights every Friday night for youth ages 13–18, starting this week. Beginning August 1, the YMCA will offer group fitness classes with childminding available as well as drop-in Youth Centre and open gym time. Red Deerians can expect more programs and services available at the centre this fall, including arts and culture programs and after school programs. Filling a gap of recreation services in the area, the Northside Community Centre is a dynamic facility that includes event rental spaces, arts and culture programs, youth programs, a teaching kitchen and rooftop patio, a tastefully finished gymnasium, fitness studio, multi-purpose rooms and more.

NOWCO HOME HARDWARE’S 2NDANNUAL CHAIRS FOR CHARITY
Nowco Home Hardware has organized Chairs for Charity for the 2ndyear and it will run from July 19-31. The project started last year as a collaboration of downtown businesses to decorate downtown during Lacombe Days and raise money for a local charity. In 2018, forty five downtown businesses each bought and painted a chair to raffle off. The chairs were left on display during the 4 days of Lacombe Days and over $3100 was raised for the lunch program at J.S. McCormick School.
This year Deanna Nowochin, who has spearheaded the event wanted things to be bigger and better, so all Lacombe businesses were invited to participate in the event. This year there will be 75 chairs on display around Lacombe from July 19-31. The event was extended this year to ensure there was ample time for people to hear about Chairs for Charity and purchase tickets. The charities benefitting from 2019’s project are Lacombe Minor Football and the breakfast program at Terrace Ridge School.
This year we have 2000 tickets available, with a fundraising goal of $10,000. Raffle tickets will be sold for $5 each and can be purchased at any participating business. You can see a full list of participating businesses and photos of their chairs at www.chairsforcharitylacombe.comor by searching “Chairs for Charity Lacombe” on Facebook.
