📍 Leduc
BGSD Celebrates First-Ever Collegiate Grad Class
Black Gold School Division marked the first graduating class of its new skilled-trades collegiate program at Calmar Collegiate, launched after a 5,000 sq. ft. facility expansion. The inaugural year focused on carpentry, giving local students hands-on trades training and a head start into post-secondary or the workforce.
Leduc Grain Elevator to Launch Weekly Friday Markets
The historic Leduc Grain Elevator is partnering with Alberta Made Market to host Weekly Friday Markets on the elevator grounds, with local makers, crafts, baking, and food trucks alongside guided tours of the Alberta Wheat Pool building. A start date hasn't been announced yet, but it's already generating buzz for downtown foot traffic.
📍 Beaumont
Beaumont Launches Clean Energy Improvement Program
Beaumont's new Clean Energy Improvement Program helps homeowners finance energy-efficient and renewable upgrades with low-interest financing paid back over up to 20 years, plus $400–$1,100 in rebates. The program runs through 2030 — demand has been strong enough that new applications are currently on a waitlist.
Beaumont Completes Traffic Safety Review
The City wrapped up a traffic safety review looking at recent calming measures at 30 Avenue and 60 Street, part of Beaumont's ongoing push to keep streets safe as the community keeps growing toward a projected 30,000 residents by 2030.
📍 Devon
