  a community with heart!  
New Brigden is a small hamlet located 35km north of Oyen and 40km south of Consort along highway 41.
 
New Brigden boasts a thriving community that endeavours to support the economical, educational, social and recreational needs of its citizens.  New Brigden is host to a number of services: a school that offers K-9 programming, a post office, a community hall (bustling with activity), a curling rink (with library, kitchen and bar facilities) and an outdoor skating rink (with heated portable and night time lighting).      
 
Our community's prosperity is due, in large part, to volunteerism. Time and resources are given by our local families to ensure that our facilites and grounds are well maintained, that our youth is provided with rewarding opportunities such as drama, skating and curling, and that future planning is always in the works to support and promote the community of New Bridgen.

  return to rural: stories of success  

 

Who:  Ardell Hayworth

What:  Hayworth Mechanical and Oilfield Services Inc.

When:  Ardell ventured out as an independent in 1995.

Where:  Ardell, his wife Tera and their children, Levi, Keegan and Keely, reside in the hamlet of New Brigden.  In recent years Ardell built a new shop that offers ample room for multi-tasking.  Ardell's clients come from near and far and his mechanical expertise extends into both the agricultural and oilfield sectors.  And if the job can't come to him, Ardell is prepared to offer mobile service to those in need.  To accompany his mechanical services, Ardell is known as the "tire guy" in these parts, and from time to time can be seen hitting the road for some light oilfield hauling.  

Why:  Ardell is a country boy at heart.  He appreciates what rural living has to offer.  He feels that with some drive and initiative, anything is possible, especially in these parts.  We are fortunate to have both agriculture and oil and gas as two prominent primary industries in our back yard.  When opportunity knocks, you're a fool not to answer the door.  At the end of the day Ardell is proud to call New Brigden home.  "I know my neighbors, many of whom are friends, it's a safe place for my kids to grow up and the wide open countryside is a must."

How:  A regular "jack of all trades", Ardell honed his skills and  interest in mechanical work while growing up on the family farm near Sedalia.  Like many farm kids, it is pretty hard to avoid operating machinery, maintaining machinery and fixing machinery.  Fortunately for Ardell, it was time well spent.  After graduation Ardell sought employment that was mechanical in nature.  He later apprenticed and received his technical training in Medicine Hat.  Ardell is a Journeyman, certified as an Automotive Service Technician.
