On April 5, GrainsConnect and GrainCorp hosted a Get to Know Your New Neighbour event at Maymont School with 135 producers and spouses in attendance. Myself and Mel were honoured to be invited. The Grade 12 graduating class helped Dawn from the Maymont Hotel serve a wonderful meal while GrainsConnect and GrainCorp employees from Calgary and Maymont shared with the audience the exciting plans for our new leading edge 35,000 tonne facility in Maymont and three other locations in Western Canada. Warren Stow, President of GrainsConnect Canada and Rob Fullerton, GrainCorp Director of Trading for North America, thanked local growers for attending and the tremendous response shown for the innovative new terminal in Maymont. Scott Watson, GrainsConnect General Manager in Maymont and Russell Lawrence, Grain Co Grain Merchant at Maymont stated they are very excited to be working in Maymont and are both looking forward to meeting even more growers before the expected grand opening of the terminal in October 2017.
Hope all the ladies had a wonderful Mother’s Day.

Upgrades are looking good at our Senior Center. A new porch has been added and other improvements to the center.
Tom Caldwell had been sick but is feeling better. He was in the hospital for a while in North Battleford and Saskatoon, then at Battlefords District Care Centre and has now moved into his new home at Caleb Manor in North Battleford. We wish him all the best.
If anyone has news they want reported give me a call so I can put it in the paper for you. If I don’t know what your thoughts are I can’t report them.
