This month we received a donation of $921.80 from the bottle recycling project at J-T Wine & Spirits ltd. We want to thank the Hollingsworths', Suzanne, and Coaldale Recycling for making all this work. This donation goes a long way for us to recognize and appreciate our local healthcare workers and we appreciate it so much.

May 19th is World Family Doctor Day, and we want to recognize and thank Dr. Akewe and Dr. Truong for choosing to practice in Milk River. Both doctors give so much of their time to ensure that we get the best possible care and that we receive our healthcare close to home. We are extremely grateful for all they do for our community, and we like to support them in any way we can. This is just one day of recognition, but we want them to know that we appreciate them all year long. Thank you, thank you, thank you !!!
