Please be aware that crews will be working on Whitney Street from the intersection of Prairie Avenue east as well as Stephen Avenue between Whitney Street and Armstrong Street. The work is to upgrade and put in new water infrastructure as well as replace the sanitary infrastructure. The work will continue for the coming weeks and progress updates will be provided. This is the first of a number of phases to bring the water flow issue back to an acceptable level.
Join the Village of Carmangay in the World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade. We’ll start early, 9-11 am at the Library with kids games and crafts. About 10:30 am, we start to muster in front of the Village office. At precisely 11 am SHARP, the parade begins. Don’t be late, or you’ll miss it! It goes across the street to the Grange Hotel, where there is one free Irish Coffee, green beer and live music. Irish Stew and games will be available at the Senior Citizen’s Center. Hot dogs and burgers and a pop up market will take place at the Fire Hall. Put on your green and come to Carmangay! It promises to be a great day!!

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to our Wild Pink Yonder celebration! To all our donors – who gave auction items, raffle items, baked cupcakes, the Ag Society for the supper, everyone who helped with the auctions, to all the volunteers who helped decorate the Village, to everyone who decorated their own yards, to the PINK committee (without whom, none of this would have happened) and to anyone I may be missing – thank you so much! Carmangay represented today and I am so proud!
Final numbers aren’t in yet but will be announced as soon as we know.

Residences, public buildings, signs, trees and posts, as well as the entrance sign off Highway 23, were all sporting pink for the occasion. Residents wore pink T-shirts and some even coloured their hair.
And then there were the many plastic flamingos, donated by a Lethbridge party company, set up near the village’s campground.
