Community member donates towards the Stettler track on her 99th birthday

STETTLER- Well-known local community supporter, Ethel Williams, gifted a donation for the Stettler Community Recreation Track resurfacing to celebrate her 99th birthday this week.

Her $500 contribution will go directly to supporting the project, ensuring community members and students continue to enjoy this great feature.

A former track star herself, Ethel proudly shared with Board Chair Greg Hayden her provincial championship ribbons and certificates from 1937 (along with the track shoes) when she won the 50 and 100 yard sprints and placed in high jump and long jump events.

Ethel was also selected to train with the Canadian British Commonwealth Games track team in 1939 when war broke out and caused the games to be canceled.
