Vauxhall Academy win Provincial Award!

Vauxhall, AB –

 

Congratulations to the participating members of the Vauxhall Academy of Baseball for their recent Provincial Recognition award.

Over the past two school years members of the VAB have volunteered their time to put together and present information on the harmful effects of chewing tobacco. Our VAB athletes with the help of former student Kara Unruh and current students Brittany Toltan and Daryl Kress have received the Barb Tarbox Award of Excellence in Tobacco Reduction – Youth Recognition category with Kara Unruh winning the Barb Tarbox Youth Scholarship Award.

These awards will be presented on May 28 in Edmonton during the World No Tobacco Day – 2009 Provincial Celebration.
