Big Valley’s ‘Christmas in the Village’<br />
Linda Stillinger,<br />
ECA Review<br />
Christmas is a time best spent in the<br />
company of family and friends, and<br />
that is exactly what the Big Valley<br />
community did on Dec. 22.<br />
Village and rural residents came<br />
together to celebrate “Christmas in<br />
the Village” with a host of events reminiscent<br />
of days gone by.<br />
From humble beginnings seven<br />
years ago, the event has grown into a<br />
community wide celebration, with a<br />
dedicated ensemble of community<br />
groups, businesses and volunteers<br />
working together to make this special<br />
event happen.<br />
There definitely isn’t a shortage of<br />
holiday cheer in Big Valley.<br />
It’s all about giving back to the community<br />
and kicking off the holiday<br />
season in style.<br />
As the number and variety of activities<br />
has grown over the years, so has<br />
the attendance.<br />
For many, the event has become a<br />
‘must do’ during the Christmas season<br />
with something happening in every<br />
corner of the village.<br />
At the Community Hall there was<br />
free chili and holiday treats, a last<br />
minute Christmas shopping area and<br />
a children’s craft table.<br />
Throughout the evening, the Big<br />
Valley Ukulele Club, Rosco, and the<br />
Original Cowgirls serenaded the<br />
crowd with Christmas carols.<br />
Downtown businesses stayed open<br />
late, adding to the holiday atmosphere,<br />
while the Big Valley Inn hosted a customer<br />
appreciation night.<br />
Throughout the evening, horsedrawn<br />
hay wagons transported<br />
revellers around the village to view<br />
the wonderful holiday lights.<br />
After seven years, Big Valley continues<br />
to keep “Christmas in the<br />
Village” unique and entertaining.<br />
The Original Cowgirls, from the left, Linda Thurston, Lori Gordon, Dallas Gordon were part of the entertainment provided at the Big Valley<br />

Our Oilfield . . . Our Future<br />
Crude-by-rail<br />
U.S. exports on<br />
6-month high<br />
by EnergyNow Media<br />
Canadian crude-by-rail exports to<br />
the United States climbed to a sixmonth<br />
high of 137,000 barrels per day<br />
(bpd) in October, data from the<br />
National Energy Board showed , the<br />
latest sign that tight pipeline capacity<br />
is pushing more oil onto railroads.<br />
October was the third straight<br />
month in which rail exports climbed.<br />
Volumes rose two per cent from<br />
September, but were up 33 per cent<br />
from the same month in 2<strong>01</strong>6 when<br />
Canada shipped 1<strong>03</strong>,000 barrels per<br />
day of crude by rail.<br />
The amount of crude carried by rail<br />
out of Canada is expected to surge next<br />
year as Canada’s oil sands output<br />
grows and outpaces capacity of congested<br />
export pipelines.<br />
Traders and loading terminal operators<br />
reported a<br />
boom in demand<br />
to move crude by<br />
rail in the final<br />
months of 2<strong>01</strong>7<br />
after a leak on<br />
TransCanada<br />
Corp’s Keystone<br />
pipeline left a<br />
glut of crude<br />
backlogged in<br />
Alberta.<br />
Data from the<br />
U.S. Energy<br />
Information<br />
Administration,<br />
also pegged<br />
Canadian crude<br />
by rail exports<br />
even higher in<br />
October, at<br />
147,000 bpd.<br />
