The City of Edmonton’s Naming Committee has officially approved renaming a portion of the Terwillegar Heights District Park to the Bryan Anderson Athletic Grounds (located in Edmonton’s Leger Community). The new name honours the work and dedication of past City Councillor, sports coach and recreation advocate Bryan Anderson.
During his career as an educator and coach, Anderson was dedicated to creating opportunities that supported student athletes as they pursued their personal and athletic goals. In his 19 years as a City Councillor, he showed this same dedication to creating healthy communities across Edmonton.
“I am thrilled that the Naming Committee has chosen to recognize Bryan Anderson. He has contributed so much to this city, and in particular to south west Edmonton,” said Councillor Tim Cartmell. “Given his service to the city and specifically as a coach and mentor to so many, the naming of an athletic field seems just the right recognition for a man who has tirelessly advocated for healthy and active communities.”
During his time on City Council, Bryan Anderson led the Sport and Recreation Initiative to develop the Terwillegar Community Recreation Centre and four other City Recreation Centres. Anderson also advocated for the development of the GO Centre, numerous artificial turf facilities and the new Coronation Velodrome. His dedication to Southwest Edmonton also made possible the building of a new library, fire hall and police station.
A ceremony to unveil the new name will be hosted by the community later in the year.
The Naming Committee approves names for municipal facilities, new neighbourhoods, parks and roads. This process involves input from both City Administration and citizens.

The Red Deer Regional Health Foundation has announced the winners of the 2024 Red Deer Hospital Lottery Dream Home and Tiny Home prize packages, as well as the Mega Bucks 50.

The Mega Bucks 50 jackpot reached $607,200.00, which makes Carolyn Pelerine of Cochrane, Alberta the winner of $303,600.00.

In addition, the luxurious Tree Hugger Tiny Home Prize Package, complete with accessories by Urban Barn and valued at $163,798.00, is now owned by Mary Vincent of Red Deer.

The coveted Sorento Dream Home Prize Package, which includes furnishings and accessories by Urban Barn and boasts a total value of $1,072,624.00, has been awarded to Maxine Rumohr of Sylvan Lake.

The highly anticipated draw took place at 10:00 a.m. Thursday at the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation office, located within the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, with an announcement following live on Facebook, allowing participants and supporters to join in the excitement virtually.

“We are delighted to congratulate the winners of this year’s Red Deer Hospital Lottery,” said Manon Therriault, Chief Executive Officer of the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation. “The funds raised from this lottery will significantly contribute to enhancing patient care and services at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated and supported this important cause.”

Proceeds from the Red Deer Hospital Lottery and Mega Bucks 50 will contribute to acquiring critically needed, state-of-the-art equipment for several units at the Red Deer Hospital.

This year’s lottery will fund equipment such as a phototherapy system, which allows parents to hold and soothe their infant while undergoing phototherapy, a cardiology case cart to monitor cardiac rhythms during stress testing, and other equipment to help provide excellent care for patients in the emergency and operating rooms at the Red Deer Hospital.

The winners of a variety of electronics were also drawn today. A full list of winners will be available in the coming days on the official lottery website at reddeerhospitallottery.ca. Prize winners who have not already been notified will receive a letter in the mail with instructions on how to claim their prizes.
