It’s hard to fathom September long weekend is next weekend and we won’t be attending our favourite event, the Labor Day Classic. However, we plan to make the most out of our last long weekend of summer. We remind you to take advantage of sunshine and be patient on our highways, as trailers, traffic and farm equipment will also be part of the highway. Slow down and enjoy the Saskatchewan scenery.
Back to school on Sept. 8 and with many changes we have seen in updates, decisions, protocols and information. Please be kind to teachers, staff, students and parents, as there has been much information changing regularly to absorb and make decisions on.
Congratulations to Dr. Duane Clark, chiropractor, Moon Chung, businessman and owner of Armada Inn and Prairie Moon Inn and Suites, and Geraldine Barrett, owner and operator of Sunrise Wellness Spa. They are all celebrating 40 years in business in Unity. While they express thankfulness for the support from their community, we express enormous gratitude for their commitment to the community for 40 years.
Unity Golf Club will hold their members' tournament Aug. 30, but golfers must be registered to participate to ensure distancing protocols are maintained. Residents were thankful for the opportunity to use this recreational venue this summer.
The Unity Motocross Club is a hard-working, industrious bunch. Not only have they built, maintained and upgraded a track by the airport, they host events. This year’s events were held Aug. 15 with another upcoming Sept. 19. Although they are only allowed two support people per rider and no spectators, they are happy to be able to experience a sport they love.
With haying done some farmers have started harvest operations. We are all hoping for more favourable weather than last year and that Mother Nature allows a problem-free harvest for our farmer friends.
The Unity Mental Wellness Group has moved back to Zoom sessions on Wednesdays. Please contact them through their Facebook page if you are wanting or needing more details on this event
Congratulations and well wishes to music instructor, Bari Bertoia, who has decided to retire from her long career. Unity benefited from all of the talent she provided from herself and from her students.
After the Sask. Hockey return to play was released, Unity Minor Hockey is trying to decide how best to run their season. They know they can’t make an entire season of plans just yet, as many things can change, however, they are committed to having some kind of a hockey season for kids this year.
A big thank you goes out to organizer, Butch Boskill, and supporters of the fundraising campaign to improve signage at our cemetery. Also the community is thankful once again for the support of Hollyhock’s Greenhouses for running a mini-fundraiser to assist with this initiative.
Here’s hoping this finds you all safe, healthy and socially distanced. Until next week ...
