Skaters and Coaches of the McBride Figure Skating Club put dreams to music in their presentation of “In Your Dreams†on Saturday March 9, 2019. Skaters performed to a variety of songs that illustrated dreams that most children have. Summer love (Grease) to saving the universe (Star Wars), pirates finding gold (Pirates of the Caribbean) and travel about the clouds (Up) featured the smaller members of the skating club. The older members each performed solos showcasing some of the skills they will be tested on at the end of the season. / ANDREA ARNOLD

Approximately 60 people of all ages came out to enjoy the mild weather on Sunday March 10, 2019 as McBride was finally able to host the Annual Sno-Fest event. Participants had the opportunity to try a variety of snow sports. Supplies were on hand for all ages to experience cross country skiing, snowshoeing, street hockey, skating, curling and good old fashion bum/stomach tobogganing. There was even an opportunity for kids to experience a modified dog sled. The BBQ was fired up and free hot dogs were available throughout the afternoon. As well, the community churches sponsored and supervised a hot drink and cookie station in the pavillion. / ANDREA ARNOLD

A water main break March 13th near the Valemount Health Centre on 6th ave left a dozen properties without water for over a day, including the health centre. Public Works crews responded quickly to the leak but were hampered by frozen ground. The Village says the water leak came from the health centre’s line, close to the connection. / LAURA KEIL
