Adventures in Accessibility: A Fundraiser

Dear Friends,

you may remember in more active times the many parades throughout the Royal Line, county and province we would be in with our stage coach, fire truck (award winning!), and the playhouse floats as part of a few summer seasons of give aways as monies were raised for various children’s charities.

A constant in these parades was an amazing kid who called what the world saw as disabilities his super powers (full transparency, my son, and Wayne & Sherry’s Grandson) who would smile, high five, share hugs and laughs and bubbles with whoever he met. Well this fun loving adventurer is almost an adult, and as he has aged has needed to rely more and more on his wheel chair and needing his world to be more accessible to continue to be the joy spreader he is, as such we have set up a go fund me. There are many ways to support, if you are inclined you can pray, or share or give or all 3.

Hope to see you next year for 2023!

Prayers for the Line

I apologize for being late to posting as the roll of Covid-19 continues to impact the communities that make up the Royal Line. Our own household has just emerged from some physical and mental health impacts during this time of c-tine (a term I have coined for our current existence).

We have nothing to add, but simply, our family is praying for all the families impacted by the cases and outbreaks in Duchess, Rosemary, Brooks, and Bassano schools and outlying areas. For those impacted by needing to isolate, or having mild to severe cases, we do pray for speedy recoveries, and healthy households that rebound for our community.

For our kids, we remind you of the simple acts of neighbourliness that can be done – wear a mask in public, stay 6 feet (2 metres) a part, wash your hands, and if you are sick (regardless of illness) stay home until symptoms clear. As with all points of history when we need to overcome adversity, we are stronger together.

Amen.

Become part of modern Countess history!

Yes, you read that right. As we move forward with revitalizing the hub of community building we are seeking aid from neighbours, and neighbours we have yet to have who have a passion for invention.

train2Have you ever wondered what a caboose transformed into a candy shoppe would be like? It may be an opportunity for leasing and refurbishment for your venture.

Or perhaps a souvenir shoppe or model train and hobby store? A shack of curiosities? or antiques?

Just imagine them in authentic cabin spacing.

cabin6

Or perhaps you have a kitchen passion, and would love to do event catering and need a space to operate your business, and host events? Yes there is cabin space for that. And events?

We have had weddings, birthday parties, Kids Christmas and New Years’ fun, family reunions and fund raisers to name but a few…oh and rumours…

Have your own Hamlet Home!

Ty's avatarCountess Chronicle

CP Rail had pre-fabricated ready to build homes for those who settled the royal line. Our little blue house tells the tale on the longevity of these builds. But it is not the only way you can be a part of community history and creation!

We welcome you to Hamlet Homes 2.0 thanks to Cabin Sales eh! At Countess, Alberta you can purchase your own log cabin kit starting from $10,500.

C’mon down and wander around taking a look at our Hamlet Homes 2.0 that are already stacked (and ready for a retail opportunity).

What’s that? You want to continue the authentic look once your cabin is stacked, or just have a kitchen throwback to a time of great music? We got you covered on that too:
