Reach

Radio stations across Alberta, including REACH FM came together on Wednesday (July 31) to help support those impacted by the Jasper wildfire through the Canadian Red Cross. 

Reach FM teamed up with Nor Lan Ram Wednesday and invited you to drop off empty bottles and cans to be donated to the Canadian Red Cross for Jasper and those affected by the wildfires.  We raised approximately $1630 with the bottle donations, plus $5220 in cash contributions.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

John 1:12-13

"Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God."

Do you teach the Bible? If so, that's great. No other calling is more needed or carries with it greater responsibility. My advice?

    • Study hard
    • Pray for insight
    • Be accurate with facts
    • Be clear in your delivery
    • Take your time. Relive and imagine those scenes
    • Try not to blot out the colour
    • Guard against running a marathon with only seriousness setting your pace

When you happen upon those scenes where the lighter side appears, slow down and call attention to it.

There's been a definite increase in grain moving to market as farmers look to clear out bin space for the new harvest.

Elizabeth Hucker, the assistant vice-president of sales and marketing for bulk with CPKC says in grain shipping week #51 they moved just shy of 400,000 metric tonnes to Vancouver, Thunder Bay, Eastern Canada, the United States and to Mexico all out of Western Canada. 

She notes back to around week #49 they were shipping around that 400,000 metric tonne level, adding that movement is stronger than what we would normally see this time of  the year.

Getting this year's hay crop cut in top condition has been a challenge across the prairies.

The heat over the last couple of weeks is resulting in a decline not just in crops, but in hay quality as well.

Hay conditions have been slowly declining since we started seeing the higher temperatures with many days hitting well into the 30's.
