American automotive data provider ALG has declared that 2011 Kia Sportage  has the highest residual value rating in the compact CUV section. The outstanding rating of 61-percent of original MSRP for 3 years of ownership has made 2011 Kia Sportage stand in the league of BMW and Subaru.

The 2011 Kia Sportage Residual Value is 20 point more than 2010 model, which is remarkable leap in the automotive industry. This compact utility vehicle has created a benchmark in the history of Kia Motors by attaining the highest residual value rating the company has ever received for any vehicle from ALG.

The high Residual Value Rating from ALG of new Kia Sportage have definitely added to the brand value of Kia Motors and will probably increase demand for the vehicle. Apart from the Kia Sportage Residual Value, the new 2011 model has a first-rate design and is equipped with the latest technology.

The Cracked Peppercorn is so proud to able to provide Healthy, Hot and Yummy meals to the students at Connaught Elementary. We would love to expand the program to more schools in Medicine Hat. Please see the attached menu for this Fall for the students at Connaught. We deliver to the school each day at no extra charge. You can have a Hot, Nutritious lunch delivered to your child for only $5.00 per day or $22.50, if you order for the whole 5 day week. We will rotate this menu for the children. Please call your school and let them know this is a valuable program to have.

Thanks for your support. As parents ourselves, we understand the importance of a hot meal on a cold Alberta Day, we also remember what a nuisance making lunches every night was.  Let us do it for you.
