Recreation Board Changing
Boundaries in New Year
The Waskasoo Recreation and Culture Board will be split in two in January as a
result of reducing the number of recreation boards and adjusting the
boundaries to conform to the new electoral divisions. The northern half
of the current board will be in Division 6 and the southern half in
Division 3 (see map in following story). The new 9-member elected board
will consist of three representatives from Springbrook, two
representatives from Aberdeen/Anter Hill/Wild Rose area, and one
representative each from Big Bend, Ridgewood, Penhold rural and Edwell/Hill
End areas.

Harvard Featured at NATO
Pilot Reunion
Nine
pilots from various countries, who trained at CFB Penhold in 1956 as
Flight 5516, arrived in Springbrook today as part of a 50th anniversary
reunion. They were among twenty-nine pilots, mostly from Western Europe,
of that particular group who trained on Harvards at the base from March
to October 1956 as part of Canada's role in NATO (North Atlantic Treaty
Organization) during the 1950's and 60's. One of the highlights of the
day was taking turns sitting in the cockpit of a Harvard trainer that
was flown in from Wetaskiwin for the occasion. Some other events of the
day were hosted by members of the Harvard Historical Aviation Society
who plan to create a heritage centre in Springbrook to celebrate the
history of the former military base. The visitors stayed overnight in
the former barracks before heading off to Banff.
