Welcome to the Village of Rycroft

Known as the “Hub of the Peace”, the village of Rycroft is located in northern Alberta, Canada, 68 km north of Grande Prairie and 8 km east of Spirit River.

The main industry is agriculture, with retail, oil, transportation, and education also contributing to this area’s economy.

With a population of 638 (2008), Rycroft serves a surrounding trading area of approximately 5,500.

Invitation to Residents and Businesses

The Village Council wishes to notify the community of Rycroft and surrounding communities that they are organizing movie nights to be held in Rycroft for the upcoming winter months.

They are anticipating two movies being shown at the Rycroft Community Hall per month.

The cost for attending the movies would free for all. There would be a concession available for anyone wanting pop, popcorn, chocolate bars etc, for a price.

The cost of this venture would be the cost of the license which runs at $1,500.00 for six movies, plus the cost of a screen and projector – estimated cost $5,000.00, totalling $6,500.00.

If anyone or a business is interested in assisting in the costs by sponsoring this we welcome your donations, large or small. The Village will then run a list of all the sponsors to be viewed every night before the movies start.

You may make you cheques payable to the Village of Rycroft and indicate that it is for movie night entertainment and a taxable receipt will be provided.

The Village is looking at providing entertainment for families young and old to have something to do for at least two evenings per month that does not involve a large amount of cash.

The Village hopes that you will all participate in these events when the time comes.

Look for more information coming forth in the very near future.
