Morinville – Located at the north end of 107 Street, the Morinville Fish and Game Association’s club house could not be in a better spot.

With geese, ducks, common terns and other wildlife drawn to the pond as readily as the residents who gather to enjoy them, the Fish and Game Association is uniquely positioned to be surrounded by what they enjoy – nature… […]

For two-and-a-half hours, Morinvillians were treated to six professional wrestling bouts that kept the cheers and cat calls escalating from the opening match through to the headline bout… […]

A teenage couple sit on the deck of the clubhouse exchanging salient thoughts about social media. Thirty feet away, a senior rests in a lawn chair under a tree, his eye trained on his fishing pole for any movement that might indicate he’s got a bit. On the other side of the pond a couple and their dog also have their lines in the water in the hopes of taking some trout home for dinner. And surrounding the human and animal activity, a woman rides her mountain bike around the trail followed by a newspaper editor with his camera… […]
