A bit of tower expansion in the CFS Aldergrove antennae farm at Matsqui in 1995.

The Aldergrove Red & White Store sat on the northwest corner of Fraser Highway and 272 Street. It burned down in 1950, and Mr. Endacott sold the property to Joe Breier, who then built Aldergrove's first Super Valu Store on the corner. His building is still standing - it is now the Grow With Smiles Daycare. We may have come across a photo or two of part of the old Red & White Store front, but have to search the files to relocate it.

Many may think that the high number of motor vehicle accidents at the 264th Street interchange on Highway 1 is a relatively new phenomena. No, sadly, it's not. That interchange has been cursed since the highway was built.

We're almost halfway through summer holidays with youngsters getting ready to start their educational journey in our school system, so we're looking back at the 1970 Grade One registration for Patricia School.

A little community pride goes a long way. The former Aldergrove Revitilization Committee (later Aldergrove Community Enhancement) had a strong team of dedicated business owners and volunteers who spent many hours improving downtown and developing a set of design guidelines for building exterior renovations and new construction. Somehow the guidelines seem to have been forgotten about as new construction does not follow the vision the team had of small town charm.

It's a shame that so many communities and fairs, including the PNE, have dropped youth talent contests. Maybe if we ever get our bandstand rewired and operational, it's something that we can add to our events list.

While I was working on an Aldergrove Legion music bingo playlist, I came across this video. I don't think it's been shared on our page yet, but the link to the video is in the image. I'd like to know who the young person is who was interviewed about the doings "at their lake".

Something that we have not failed to notice is how many local businesses sponsored #youthsports teams throughout the year. Many businesses sponsored a team in the "big 4" leagues - hockey, soccer, baseball and ringette. All of those businesses - past and present - should be proud of their ongoing support for these teams, some over several decades, not to mention the coaches, assistant coaches and team parents.
