This year marks the 51st anniversary of the Elks Lodge in Morden.
Morden Elks Lodge is a fraternal organization that raises funds to support local community and children’s needs along with supporting the Elks of Canada Purple Cross Fund.
This fund is accessible locally to help out children in need of medical care where additional funding is required.
While most fraternal organizations are struggling to find new members, the Morden Elks are fortunate to have had a large number of young men - 28 in total - join the organization in the past few years.
"The Stavely Elks have presented the Nanton Children Society with a cheque for $2,500 for new playground equipment.
The new playground system will help replace the system located at Centennial Park.
Other playground systems will be developed at Nanton Lion's Park and in Westview. "
"Progress is being made on the rebuilding the old cook house at the rodeo grounds with a 1400 square foot structure. "
