Free swing class for Movember
Chad Krayenhoff, who runs the Jasper Blues Dance Community, will teach a free swing class at the Sawridge Inn and Conference Centre to support the hotel’s Movember campaign, Nov. 17.
The class starts at 7 p.m. and is open to all ages. You do not need to bring a partner.

For those who can’t make it on Nov. 17, the group holds weekly dance classes every Thursday at the 4 Peaks Night Club from 7 to 9 p.m.
Canmore resident appointed chief of staff for environment minister
Marlo Raynolds, a Canmore resident and former Liberal candidate for Banff-Airdrie, was appointed the chief of staff for Catherine McKenna, Canada’s new minister of environment and climate change.
Days after losing to Conservative incumbent Blake Richards in the Oct. 19 election, Raynolds was hand picked by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to help the government implement its new plan.
Raynolds, who has 20 years of experience in the energy sector, resigned from his job as executive vice-president of BluEarth Renewables. Prior to joining BluEarth, Raynolds was executive director at the Pembina Institute, a nationally recognized energy think-tank.
McKenna is also the minister responsible for Parks Canada.
