“NEVER SAY DIE” could be the motto for Warner. Only a few
years ago, the small community about 45 minutes south of Lethbridge,
was facing the loss of its school–the heart of the community. Today, Warner is

and beyond. At a time when many small prairie towns are slowly and painfully
dying, Warner is on an upswing and looking enthusiastically at a bright future.

SINCE 1995, the Pronghorn Booster Club and a committee,
including staff members from the University of Lethbridge, have been organizing Operation Red Nose; a designated
driver service that gets drivers, who feel that they have had too much to
drink, their passengers and their cars to their destinations safely. Fully
confidential and non-judgmental, Red Nose is dedicated to providing a long-term
commitment to road safety initiatives while supporting non-profit community
youth organizations.

THEY WHEEL, THEY DEAL. They buy and sell shares. They raise
money for charity and keep the shareholders happy. However, these business
hotshots are not Wall Street tycoons but students from Lethbridge
schools. Junior Achievement, an international, non-profit program with a goal
of bringing the real world of work into the classroom, has been operating in Lethbridge
for 11 years. Regional Director, Suzanne Ramsey-Green, MA, says involvement
gives the students a new outlook and boosts their self-esteem.
