Town of Vegreville

They travel around to the different haunted houses in the area.

She went to the one in Vegreville.

She said it was absolutely...

I didn't even know they did one out in Vegreville.

Yeah, it's put on by...

I think they're called Young Farts RV Parts, the guys who run that.

See, but the thing is, how many people live in Vegreville? How could you...

It's a big surrounding area.

I graduated June 9 at 3 p.m.

I was so grateful to walk across the stage and get my honours degree and I was able to work in Vegreville, Alberta at a rural hospital from February until end of August and after my nursing education I became a graduate nurse.

So that's a step where I can work as a nurse before I become an official registered nurse because to become a registered nurse you have to pass your NCLEX exam and from that I would become an official Indigenous registered nurse but unfortunately I did not pass my first time around due to me needing to provide for my family And I, looking back, I'm grateful I didn't pass my NCLEX.

I actually didn't pass, I believe it was October 13, and it was devastating, but I realized that it gave me a solution coming to the Senate of Canada where I need to tell the senators a solution and something that could help fix the healthcare system and fix the nursing retention.

We're going to talk about that, obviously.

That's what's, you know, for a lot of people, created so many memories on the road trips and you get the photos and you pop into Vegreville and you check out some of the cuisine, this wonderful little town.

Our family has some history in Vegreville.

I bet that many of your families do as well, but There's like a revival of sorts.

Vagerville is rising and building and growing.

It's nice to be here.

I can see the progression that you're doing.

You had Mark Carney last week, Young Farts RV, and now the mayor of Vegreville.

Thank you to the Shevchenko Foundation for all the great work that it does right across our beautiful country of Canada for our Ukrainian community, and right here on the Zabava program as our funding partner, and as well sponsoring our feature artist segment on the show.

And this evening, we're going to take a hop, skip, and a jump out to Vegreville.

This is going to bring back some memories for all the folks living in Vegreville, one of your veteran bands no longer actively playing, but I'm sure all of you remember them from past times.

Community Hall functions, weddings, and anniversaries.

The Polka Tones of Vegreville.

¶¶ Thank you.

Thank you.

Sing along on this next selection by the Polka Tones from Vegreville.

The section between Range Road fifteen and twenty is affected, so if you want to get through more quickly, use Highway 16A.

RCMP are hoping the public can help them find a vehicle involved in an altercation with an RCMP officer in Vegreville this morning.

Mounties say they'd come upon a crime in progress around 55th Avenue and 60th Street, but when the officer tried to detain the suspects, there was an altercation, and the suspects took off in an SUV.

The vehicle is said to be a gray Chevy Tahoe and has the Oilers plate DB7299.

Welcome to another episode of the Rod Pedersen Show.

From Vegreville to Vegas.

How about that? It's the RP Show.

Welcome everybody to a Tuesday edition of your favorite sports talk show.

And thank goodness I had two physicians, both here in Lloyd, who grew up in countries where polio was evident at that time, and so they understood me, [laughs] and that was great.

But my husband was in Rotary in Vegreville, and he came home one day, and this leads now into Richard, because it was 1988, and he said, "We're doing something about Rotary.

We thought we want to end, um, polio right around the world." And Kurt, I cried that day because I knew what it was like even just to have what would be considered mild side effects, but I knew what other people were going through that had it more serious.

So it's a natural progression to the Rotary development.

Well, you know something, if you're looking for a special gift, I need you to take a look at the four books that Gordon Gordey has published, and you can pick these books up at either Amazon, Audrey's Bookstore downtown in Edmonton, the Alberta Council for Ukrainian Arts, Indigo Chapters, and you can also read it as an e-book from Kindle.

They are also available in the libraries in Edmonton, Vegreville, Mannville, and Gordon Gordey's hometown, Innisfree.

And these books are written when he was a young boy living on the farm, and I know a lot of my listeners are going to be able to relate to these stories.

So pick up one of these books or pick up all four.
