Camrose Booster

A Time Capsule
was buried in a secure location in New Norway a quarter century ago.
This took place in conjunction with the small, tight knit village’s 75th anniversary. A committee of local citizens had carefully chosen items significant to the era and the community, carefully sealed the capsule then placed it underground.
Fast forward twenty-five years and three of the four surviving individuals from that same committee (91 year-young Ruth Ramsey, Jim Trautman and John Kvill) plus a variety of volunteers from New Norway’s 100th anniversary committee gathered together to unearth that very capsule.
With much excitement and great anticipation, it will be opened as part of the massive 100th anniversary July 31 and August 1.
Premier Ed Stelmach will be amongst the many guests and dignitaries
on hand for the celebration.
