Few can say they’ve competed at the Olympic level, least of all at the age of 15 and from a tiny town of less than 4,000. It’s a dream that many kids, even parents might not fathom. But it’s one that’s now a reality for Hay River youth Carter Hill.
Flagging down football aficionados
It may have been a small turnout, but it was a great day.

Taking to the trails: the teachings of Nordic Walking
It takes 10,000 steps to be considered active. But with the help of some local and territorial organizations, more people will be taking more steps in a completely different way. Or continuing too. Nordic walking is something that’s already started to gain attention in the town.
Blinds installed for Recreation Centre pool
There may be less of a beachy feel at the Aquatic Centre pool from now on. That’s because last week, pool staff were in the midst of putting up the last of a set of blinds screening the fishbowl like windows from the swimming area to the high traffic hallway.
Local golfer wins $10,000 cheque for sinking hole-in-one
Imagine winning $10,000 just by getting a hole-in-one. This was the experience Matt Maurice had over the weekend, getting a hole-in-one on the first hole at the shoot-out tournament over the weekend at the Hay River Golf Course.
