Being a member of the Milo Lions, I enjoyed representing our club at the 75th Charter Night of the Lions Club of Champion on November 27, 2021, along with fellow Lion Pete Silbernagel and his wife Shannon. Good turnout was had from several other clubs and, despite the ongoing pandemic, it was nice to celebrate 75 years of service to the Champion Community.
Well done, Champion Lions!
Community news is frequently hilarious and helps one keep up on new business ventures, events, and everything else that is happening in the area.
In the era of “fake news,” I’m sure we can all agree that the standard bearers of truth, intelligence and accurate reporting are most certainly the Milo Can Opener and the Champion Chronicle!
If you are not presently subscribing to either one or both (why not?!), your life is poorer for it. 
With New Year’s resolutions soon upon us, you can subscribe to the Champion Chronicle by emailing [email protected] or the Milo Can Opener by emailing [email protected] .
A digital subscription to the Champion Chronicle costs $12/year. A paper copy can be mailed to you each month for $20/year (Champion local mail) or for $25/year (outside Champion local mail but in Canada).
A subscription to the Milo Can Opener costs $20/year (Milo local mail) or $25/year (outside Milo local mail but in Canada).
Different rates apply for hard copy mail delivery outside Canada.
Looks great! Many thanks to the FCC AgriSpirit Fund, grant writer Leslie Warren, and all those involved. We have an excellent volunteer fire service in Vulcan County.
Gillian Williamson of Studio Lumen has produced a video for the Milo Community School Remembrance Day Service. This event is hosted annually for the Milo Community by the staff and students at the Milo Community School. The service is a joint partnership with the membership of the Lions Club of Milo. Area resident, Neil Northcott, performs the Last Post and Reveille at local Remembrance Day services and at other events honouring veterans.
Footage of Mr. Northcott playing here was taken in the Milo Library on November 8, 2021. The two minutes of silence offers footage of the local cenotaph in Milo.
Attended the Remembrance Day service in the Village of Champion this morning. It was a very nice tribute to honour the sacrifices of our veterans and service members, to honour those who fought in war defending our liberty and our constitutional system of government. Thank you to the membership of the Champion Legion for organizing a local service of remembrance this eleventh of November.
Well, I am humbled by the tremendous support of Division 6 and will strive to be a
good County Councillor for our communities and our region.
Thank you!
To Mr. Fleetwood, thank you for your service these past four years. You have my
respect. I wish your family and you well, and appreciate your significant
commitment to the success of Vulcan County. I hope to work with you in other
endeavours for the sake of Alberta’s future.
As for the next four years, I look forward to working with a very dynamic group as
we tackle the challenges ahead of us. Congratulations to Jodie Gateman and Shane
Cockwill on winning your division races.
My website will remain as a tool for me to use in communicating with ratepayers. I
appreciate the conversations that I have enjoyed with you. There will be many more,
this I am sure. I look forward to helping navigate our way forward and will rely on
you for your input.
Sincerely,
Christopher Northcott
