If you’ve ever laced up your skates, cheered from the stands, spent a chilly evening or spent any time at the Taber Community Centre, this one’s for you!
After a December 17th explosion caused significant damage to the community centre and arena, the Town of Taber is turning a tough moment into a hopeful one by officially entering the Kraft Hockeyville competition.
It’s a chance not just to rebuild, but to come together as a community. Town officials say the support since the explosion has been overwhelming.
Until March 1, southern Albertans are invited to share their favourite stories, memories, and photos from the Taber Community Centre. Those submissions could help Taber win the $250,000 grand prize, which would go directly toward much-needed arena upgrades.

Once submissions close, Kraft Hockeyville judges will review entries from across the country. Between March 2 and 14, they’ll select one winner from every province and territory. From there, the stakes get even higher.
On March 21, the Top 2 finalists will be announced, and they’ll face off in a nationwide vote to decide who takes home the top prize.
