Rocky Mountain Equipment’s planned visit of the Canadian Football League’s Grey Cup trophy helped out local community football.
    For the Grey Cup’s visit Monday, October 6, Rocky Mountain Manager Brock Harrington  arranged with Drumheller Community Football to have visitors pay a five dollar fee to have their photo taken with the cup, with the proceeds going to support the football association.
    DCFA reports they received $235 from visitors photos with the Grey Cup.
    After a brief stop at the Drumheller Valley Secondary School, the cup headed out of town, where it will eventually make its way to Vancouver, BC, in time for November’s 102 Grey Cup at BC Place Stadium.

The Drumheller Fire Department started Fire Prevention Week with an open house Sunday at the Drumheller Fire Hall.
    Fire Chief Bill Bachynski said they have invited Emergency Services from the area including the RCMP, EMS and the Munson Fire Department to attend. There were also representatives from Drumheller’s Rosedale and East Coulee fire halls.
    Bachynski says the open house provided a great chance for residents to come out and meet some of the men and women who play an important role in the community, often putting their lives at risk for the service of others.
    A number of residents were at the fire hall Sunday to see and learn about the equipment, ask questions and learn what what emergency personnel do.
    Bachynski said there are always applications on hand for perspective firefighters.
    Fire Prevention Week is from October 5-11, and this households are encouraged to test and replace their smoke alarms.
