Highway 2A Upgrade Between Penhold and Innisfail Under Way
There's some short term pain for long term gain on Highway 2A between Penhold and Innisfail. After several years of motorists waiting for the upgrade of the deteriorating and narrow highway, construction has begun to bring the road up to current primary highway standards. However, it also means detours on country roads until the end of April during the initial phase of the reconstruction. Construction will continue throughout the spring and summer with some delays and possibly further detours.

Springbrook Family Winter FunFest a Huge Success
With temperatures hovering around zero to 2 degrees above Celsius, sunny skies and no wind, the weather was perfect for the Springbrook Family Day Winter FunFest at the Oak St. turnaround outdoor rink. An estimated 200 people took advantage of the opportunity, at least half children, with horse and wagon rides, a children's colouring contest, both indoor and outdoor skating and refreshments (hot dogs and hot chocolate).
The horse and wagon, supplied by Heritage Ranch near Red Deer, was a particular success with each of the approximately ten rides completely full. The event was organized by the Events Committee of the Springbrook Community Association, chaired by Cheryl Coleman with Simone Heck, Darcie Phillips, Rob Manz and Nicole Wapple.
Ice Popular at Outdoor Springbrook Skating Rink
Since the ice was installed at the Oak St. turnaround all purpose pad several days ago, several people have enjoyed skating and hockey practice. The facility was particularly popular at the Winter FunFest today. Provision of the ice was made possible primarily by the efforts of Phil Heck of the Springbrook Community Association, Phil Wegner of Dean Allison Bobcat and Landscaping and Ron Smart of the Red Deer County Volunteer Fire Department.February 16, 2008

Association Board Reviews Negotiations for Lease of Theatre
The Board of Directors of the Springbrook Community Association reviewed the current negotiations with Trinidad Drilling for the lease of the theatre in the Bear Training Centre for use as a community drop-in and activity centre.

Meanwhile, a proposal has been sent to Red Deer County to request a grant to cover part of the cost of the lease. Originally, it was expected that the proposal would go before Red Deer County Council in March but the request has been pushed up to February 19.
