BONNYVILLE - 
Members of the Bonnyville Jr. A Pontiacs rolled up their sleeves and gave back to the community. On Tuesday, March 23, the Pontiacs headed out in small groups to do some cleaning within the Town of Bonnyville.  

Armed with hats, gloves, and garbage bags, the players took some time out of their busy training schedule to participate in a spring clean-up. Areas that got some attention included main street, Slawuta Pond, and the Jessie Lake walking trail.
