“Nothing happens unless you make it happen,” says Doris McFarlane. She’s been making things happen in Beaverlodge for 62 years. That’s why she’s our Small Town Hero.

The Beaverlodge and District News has sponsored an entry in the UFA Small Town Heroes Contest and Nominated Doris McFarlane as Beaverlodge's hero.

Any prize money awarded will go to the Pool Project.

Vote for our small town hero at the smalltownheroes.ca. Remember to vote every day!
