How big is Magrath?

E-mail Print PDF
The 2006 Census puts the Population of Magrath at 2081, up from 1993 way back in 2001. Oscar and Hank (of Cornergas fame) would put it at 'about 2100'. It shows us up 4.4% over last census and for the first time over the 2000 person mark. You can see the results for yourself at www.statcan.ca.

Shaw Cable Upgrades in Magrath

E-mail Print PDF

Nov 2006 Starting 22 Nov 2006 Magrath's high speed internet options are getting expanded .. by the addition of Shaw Cable's new internet service here in town. Sweet!

You may decide to stay with Telus ADSL. You may wish to switch. Here in my home office I will be switching from the expensive Telus Server plan to the more reasonable Shaw Entrepreneur plan before the end of the month. At my other day job, they will be sticking to the Telus ADSL option as the price difference for similar package is in Telus's favor for their situation (Telus reg High Speed vs Shaw High Speed).

You can bundle cable TV and Internet service together, but you don't have to. They are booking installations by phone. Call the Lethbridge office for more information.

FYI: These are my comparison files .. by Speed and by Price.

Labor Day Breakfast 2006

E-mail Print PDF
The Town of Magrath hosted it's FREE breakfast on Labor Day, Monday 4th September 2006 from 7am - 9am at the Magrath Elementary School (MES). Local volunteers under the direction of Patrica Dudley served up pancakes with butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream as well juice boxes and steaming hot chocolate. It seemed a very popular event in spite of the early start on a holiday! Thank you for coming out to celebrate the holiday with us. If you volunteered some time to help out, double thanks from all of us to you! GO MAGRATH! .. and good job to whomever was in charge of the weather for the day.
