Warm winter weather speeds new Chinook construction

    The aptly named Chinook Credit Union is getting help from its namesake.
    The warm weather has ensured that construction on the new home of the Drumheller branch of Chinook has proceeded without any delays.
    “Everything has been run well and we’ve been blessed by the warm weather,” said Stuart Hill, Vice President of Corporate Services.
    The unseasonally high temperatures have given no opportunities for construction to be delayed. It is estimated the building will be complete by the end of September.
    At this time, construction is focused on erecting the steel framework for the building. Residents passing by will see the walls and roof being put in place starting within the next four weeks.
    “It will look like a true building, rather than a construction site,” joked Hill.
    The new home of the Drumheller Chinook Credit Union is considerably larger than the current building and will be a significant expansion.
    “There will be no difference to services,” said Hill. “We are looking forward to the finished building. It will be a significant building within Drumheller.”
