Fourteen-year old Echo Moreton said black roof shingles absorb the sun’s energy to help melt snow off a roof in winter.

In the summer months that heat absorption isn’t beneficial, which is why she created shingles that change colour to white when reaching 26 degrees celsius.

Beginning next week, there will be a bring your own games night at the Kiwanis center (the old Elizabeth Street School). It will be every first and third Friday of the month for now, with hopes to make it every Friday eventually.

Entry is $5, and there will be cans of pop and small bags of chips for $1 each. Cash only.

This is run 100% by volunteers and all money collected is going directly to the Kiwanis center to help with operations costs. The center provides space for many community groups at an affordable rent. Things like Wellspring cancer support group, women's self defense, the medicine hat chess club, and the medicine hat rock and lapidary club all use this space.

The local discord server has a spot set up for people to use to organize games if they want to as well. It can be found here: https://discord.gg/emnYEySc

Games will not be provided at this point. Any tabletop game is welcome whether it's board games, cards, or D&D. I hope to see some of you there to have fun and support a great community resource!
