work and the fundraising.
Then there are those member
volunteers who will come
out to help with the work
bees which involve physical
labour, like lawnmowing,
weed eating, painting,
scrubbing, general clean up.
Then we have members who
will donate large expensive
equipment and time for the
big earth moving jobs that
are required. There are the
cooks who will come out and
run concession and BBQ the
pork loins! Also, we have the
volunteers who have special
skills who run our monthly
Trap and Skeet shoots
and Pistol Practices. Or the
carpenters, plumbers, electricians,
and small motor repair
members who build, or
repair our infrastructure for
free. Then, there are those
special volunteers that you
see at every one of these volunteer
activities! Every club
has some of them.
One area we are still
looking for a volunteer is for
a monthly archery practice.
We need some people to step
forward 1 day a month and
volunteer their time to oversee
a safe and instructive
archery practice. If you have
a passion for archery and
knowledge you can share,
there are a lot of members
who would really appreciate
you sharing that. You would
not have to work alone, the
CDFGC club will support
you with help and equipment.
Events to remember are
that the CDFGC holds Trap
and Skeet Practice at 10 am
the second Sunday of the
month and Pistol Practice is
10am the 3rd Saturday of the
month. Guests are welcome,
cost is $5 per guest.
Our next general meeting
is Monday, April 11 at 7
pm at Creekside Senior Center
on Shuswap Ave, Chase.
It will not be on Easter Monday,
April 18. All members
are welcome. You can get a
membership online at cdfgc.
ca or at the village U-Brew
in Chase.

Chase Radiology Room
brings care closer to home
Media Release
Interior Health is pleased to report that a new radiology
room is being well used by people in Chase and the surrounding
area since opening earlier this year.
After opening to patients on Jan. 31, 2022, the new machine
has produced more than 350 patient exams with some
patients needing more than one X-ray per visit.
A $620,000 capital investment in the Chase and District
Health Centre resulted in the renovation of the radiology
room and installation of a new Siemens X-ray machine,
featuring the latest technology that allows for quicker imaging.
As part of the project, the health centre received a complete
electrical upgrade.
“This new machine is making a big difference in the
care we are providing in Chase,” said Interior Health president
and CEO, Susan Brown. “People in Chase and the surrounding
areas no longer have to travel to receive an X-ray.
The new equipment is providing a more reliable service
and has enhanced working conditions for our health-care
team.”
The radiology room provides a comfortable and modern
healing environment and supports a safe work place
with an ergonomic work station.
The Chase Health Centre serves some 3,000 people in
the community of Chase and the surrounding region.
