Members of an Alberta community came together in support of its local grain elevator.
The people of Nanton, Alta. and the surrounding communities drew the winning ticket of a 50/50 raffle on Valentine’s Day, with half of the winnings, $4,910 to be exact, donated to the Canadian Grain Elevator Discovery Centre.
The community purchased 6,382 tickets for the raffle.
This money is being used to recoup costs from a theft that occurred after Christmas.
On Dec. 29, thieves stole one 30-metre 240vac cable and nine 15-metre power cables. These cables were rented or loaned to the discovery centre, CTV reported.
