Congratulations Everyone!!

Our X-treme Makeover was a hit!!

Over 230 volunteers showed up to make September 25th a day that will go down in Killam history.

The Bike/Skateboard Park was completed on the 26th and the ribbon cutting and dedication ceremony had an excellent turn out.

The amphitheater is well on it's way to completion. The cement will be poured this week and the supports put in.

The Ace Committee would like to thank each and everyone of you for your help and support in making the dream come true!!

Bike/Skateboard Dedication

I am very excited to share with you that the Killam Ace Committee is dedicating the Bike Park to our Small Town Hero - Gordie Enghoj !!

Sharon Moser and Trina Pawlick gave Gordie the news last night on his 80th birthday and he is very proud!!

There will be an article in the Community Press next week making the announcement.

The dedication ceremony will take place at 3:00 pm on Build Day in conjunction with the opening ceremonies.

Only 8 days to go and counting - It's Crunch Time!!

TREES & SHRUBS

If you would like to donate a tree or shrub or some decorative rocks to the Heritage Park Revitalization Project please contact either Kim Borgel at the Town Office or Terilynne Block at 385-3611.

We require approximately 30 shrubs, 50 trees, and oodles of rocks.

Thank you!!

BOTTLE DRIVE - September 9th

The ACE Team will be hosting a bottle drive on September 9th starting at 5:30pm. All proceeds will be donated to the Heritage Park X-treme Makeover, which is happening on September 25, 2010.

We will be sending trucks around to farms and acreages who are within 3 kilometers of the town limits. So if your shed or old grainery is full of bottles and cans now is the time to clean them out and donate to a worthy cause at the same time.

For those of you who would like to donate their bottles, but live farther than 3 kilometers from town please take them to the Killam Bottle Depot. Please specify that they are to be donated to the Ace Committee.

Thank you so much for your support!!
