Weekly Newspaper delivering THE BEST of Tofield & Area since 1918!
The Bethel Lutheran Ladies of Ryley put on another fine spread this year as people crowded into the church hall to enjoy their Waffle Day and Bake Sale on Wednesday, March 14.
But the annual church fundraiser was even more special this year as the community helped celebrate the event’s 60 year anniversary.
The C.W. Sears Playground Committee has requested a $30,000 contribution from the Town of Tofield.
Council discussed the request and acknowledged that the playground will be fully accessible to disabled children and will be a great asset to the children of Tofield.
The request was then granted.
Loretta Kroeker gave the heads up on an up-coming workshop titled “Migrant Routes.”
The workshop is promoted by the Beaver County Health Committee, and will explain the vulnerabilities and diverse communities that emerge when migrant workers, temporary foreign workers, and immigrants come to our community.
