WEEK 1 | JANUARY 7 - The New Year has arrived, with the early days of 2025 welcoming the Swan River Valley with one of winter’s cold snaps. Temperatures reached their coldest this year on Jan. 4 with a reported -38.7C low. Forecasts indicate temperatures to return to single digits this week.

This past Friday saw a mind ‘gobbling’ surprise, as a wild turkey found its way into town on Westwind Road. The turkey curiously wandered around the neighbourhood and made good use of any food found on the voyage. In that specific neighbourhood, deer are more common to be around the area, in this case, a single turkey found its way.
