Camp Alexo, Located in the foothills of the Rocky Mtns Camp Alexo offer a wide range of residential wilderness and traditional camp programs for children 7-15 years of age. Camp Alexo is owned and operated by the Youth and Volunteer Centre of Red Deer. It is located 70 km west of Rocky Mountain House.
There are a variety of leadership and adventure based programs for youth 13-17 years of age at Camp Alexo. The Camp also offers Counselor In Training (CIT) programs for youth 14-22 years of age.
The maximum number of youth in any session is 60, in order to maximize the ratio and benefit of experience to the camper. Camp Alexo runs six residential programs throughout the summer months. The programs stress an experiential philosophy through a "Learn by doing" concept and a "fun with a purpose" attitude. Activities include archery, boating, climbing, day and overnight trips and even horseback riding.
All staff and volunteer support is appropriately trained, and screened to expected standards. Camp Alexo is also an accredited camp with the Alberta Camping Association and the Canadian Camping Association.
The Youth and Volunteer Centre of Red Deer (YVC) is committed to ensuring that no child misses out on the camp experience due to limited financial resources. If you or someone you know is in a situation where they need financial help - let YVC know. Camperships (sponsoring of kids to camp) are generously supported by:
* Individual Donors
* Valhalla Pure Challenge
* Kinsmen Club of Red Deer
* YVC Board of Directors |

Pasture Recovery InitiativeIn late May, the provincial governments of Alberta and Saskatchewan along with the federal government announced that there is $114 million in funding available for the 2010 Pasture Recovery Initiative. The 2010 Pasture Recovery Initiative is part of the AgriRecovery program. The AFSC (Agriculture Financial Services Corporation) will administer the program in Alberta. The Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture will look after the program for producers in Saskatchewan. Funding is available for producers in selected counties, municipal districts and rural municipalities. There are 59 selected areas in central and northern Alberta. Producers in those selected areas will receive an information package in the mail along with an application form to be completed and submitted to AFSC before September 1, 2010. The Pasture Recovery Initiative is available for breeding cattle, horses (meat or PMU), bison, elk, deer, llamas, sheep, goats and alpacas. The funding available is "subject to size of eligible livestock." There are an estimated 2.2 million animals within the selected areas. The drought in 2009 had a significant effect on producers and government officials hope that the Pasture Recovery Initiative will help producers with the increase of feed costs caused by the drought. They also hope that livestock producers will take time to evaluate their pastures and ensure they have enough feed for their livestock. For more information please visit AFSC or contact them 1-877-899-2372. |

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?' The eagle responded; 'Sure, why not.' So the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it. Moral of the story To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up! ** ** ** ** ** visit www.laughsandfun.com for more jokes |

Age Verification Incentive ProgramGood news for cattle producers! The Government of Alberta has implemented an 'Age Verification Incentive Program'. This program will provide a refund or reimbursement for RFID ear tags purchased between January 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010. The reimbursement will be $3.00 per tag or the full amount of tag, which ever is lower. The producer mus agree to age verify 2009 calves by October 31, 2010. The program was created to help producers with the costs of complying with the Traceability Cattle Identification Regulation. The government hopes to encourage producers to age verify which will provide more integrity to Alberta's traceablity system. For more information, please visit the Alberta Government website. |
