Altona & District Poutine Week
October is a busy month in Altona & District with Small Business Week, National Support Your Local Chamber of Commerce Day, Webinars, Fundraisers and a Drive Thru Party but an exciting Poutine Week is also planned by the Chamber of Commerce to help support our restaurants during Small Business Week.
In July, we held a Burger Week and 1,186 burgers were consumed. Can we beat that in poutine? Watch for more information coming soon.
Altona Elks Boo Hoo Party
The Altona Elks are hosting the Drive-thru Boo Hoo Hallowe'en Party again this year. They are asking for donations of individually wrapped candies for the event.

Altona Library Location Fundraiser
October is Canadian Library month and this year the Altona Library has launched the Library Expansion Fund to enable a move from the Golden West Building to a new, larger site that will allow them to expand their services and provide support to their patrons.
The goal is to raise $500,000 for costs associated with the move and they invite you to support your local community by making a tax deductible donation to the Library Expansion Fund. Any donation over $500.00 will be permanently recognized on our donor wall for all to see.
Thank you for considering a donation to this very worthy cause. For any further information, please contact the Branch Administrator, Rachael Friesen at: 204-324-1503.
