If your summer plans need a boost of fun, Meadows Amusements in Winkler has you covered.

The Falcons represent a unique partnership between Border Valley and Blumenfeld schools. On their own, neither school has the numbers to field a full basketball team, but together they form a squad of just 160 students — total.

Update: “Due to persistent smoke causing poor air quality combined with extremely high temperatures forecasted, we are following the Environment and Climate Change Canada recommendation to limit time outdoors and cancelling the Arbor Day event [scheduled for June 1, 2025].
