These poorly trained volunteers fought a short but brutal battle from Dec. 8 to 25, 1941, to defend the Brit- ish Crown Colony from the Imperial Japanese. Known as the C Force, these Canadi- ans who served in the Battle of Hong Kong lacked proper uniforms, weap- ons, ammunition, artillery — and training.

The Rosser Central Community Club has been rais- ing funds for the past three years with efforts to revive the club. Community members gathered to celebrate their hard work with an offi cial ribbon-cutting ceremony for the multi-use facility last Saturday. Board member Andrea Schutz thanked the community for their true community spirit and support through nu- merous fundraisers, renovations and cleaning bees. She expressed sincere gratitude to the RM of Rosser and the Interlake Community Foundation for their fi nancial sup- port. She thanked club president Jessica Beachell for tak- ing the lead in the project and board members for the countless hours they have committed to meeting, clean- ing, renovating, planning and discussing the future of the centre. The board is pleased to be offering a variety of programs at the community centre.
