Through a lifetime of service that has included overcoming numerous personal challenges, Dale Ohler has demonstrated the kind of resilience and community spirit that has made him a role model and inspiration for those in his community of Stavely. Over the years, Dale has served as an active member of the Stavely Agricultural Society and numerous other service clubs.
Despite a major accident that left him a quadriplegic almost 20 years ago, Dale’s remarkable energy and tenacity has never dimmed and his continued service has inspired a new generation of volunteers. Local minor hockey and figure skating clubs have benefited from Dale’s leadership and support, and local 4-H participants have learned skills that they will carry throughout their own lives.
Having served as vice-president, president and director, Dale has become a much-appreciated fixture in the Stavely Ag Society. The organization continues to progress thanks to his imagination and impeccable grant writing skills, which have helped secure funding for vital projects within the small but vibrant rural community.
For demonstrating the strength of character and generosity of spirit that has endeared him to the community, Dale Ohler shines as an Alberta Northern Lights Volunteer Recognition Program recipient.
