WIth the Fall Registration Fair is only a few days away. On Sept. 7 at the Community Centre, clubs and organizations for youth and adults will be ready to accept registration and answer questions about all sorts of fall activities.
Fall can be a challenging financial time for many families. School supplies, new shoes, healthy lunches and extracurricular activities can add up in a hurry. We are fortunate in Hanna to have KidSport and the Community Youth Fund.
