Everyone is welcome to join at no cost. League starts at 7:30pm at the pickleball courts at Willow Park and will be every Monday and Wednesday through the summer.

If there is enough interest, we may even throw in a 3rd day and divide into groups. But for the first while, just come out and learn the game and have fun!

Of course, if you have your own paddles, please bring them.

Come out for a great weekend with the family! The fun starts Friday evening with a softball tournament and a family movie. Saturday includes a fun run, breakfast, parade, fun in the park, dinner (chili burgers with pot-luck salads and desserts), program, family dance and fireworks to finish it all off.

 This is your opportunity to come & learn more about the Fibre Optic Internet Services and Technology options for our community.

We apologize for the short notice!!

Fibre Optic Internet to Barnwell?

Are you looking for a better Internet service?  The Village of Barnwell has recently learned that there may be a new internet option available for us….yes…real high speed fibre internet (wired-in internet with download speeds from 25 Mbps to 100 Mbps).  Axia is actively looking to invest in small, rural communities in Alberta (like us) and deliver fibre internet to homes and businesses.  Why Axia?  Axia has already installed the Alberta Supernet in Alberta communities including the Village of Barnwell.  (Have you ever wondered what the small building is just north of the Village Office?  It is the Alberta Supernet building which is operated by Axia).  Learn more about Axia and their internet possibilities at www.axia.com .

In order to convince Axia that the Village of Barnwell is ready for their investment, We Need Your Help!!!  They require at least 30% of our population to express interest by completing the Pre-order form on their website at www.axia.com/order .  You don’t have to pay any money now, just let them know that there is a lot of interest from our community.  (Please note that when you go to this pre-order page you will need to enter your street address.  Immediately below where you enter your street address a box will come up “Can’t find your address?  Click here” .  Please click in the box and a form will come up for you to fill out and submit. )

The faster everyone orders, the faster the Village of Barnwell is likely to be added to Axia’s list and the faster you will have real high speed internet.  IT IS UP TO YOU!!
