It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Many homes in Good Spirit Acres are decorated with lights & greetings. All sorts of baking is being done, in preparation for the season of hosting & giving… remember, Christmas calories don’t count!
We keep hoping that we are going to have a White Christmas, but the mild weather that we have been having, who knows?
The Christmas greeting board is up at the Good Spirit Market & there is still time to have your Christmas wishes placed.
We will need snow & colder weather before ice can be made at the skating rink. Chris Leis has volunteered to take on this job again & Craig Ostafie & Brad Parker are his helpers. Thank you so much Chris!
More snow is also needed before any cross country ski trails can be set.
The Good Spirit Market is the hub of the community in winter. There is hot coffee all day, every day. Their hours are Sun to Thurs. 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Friday & Sat. 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. They have occasional breakfasts on the weekends and also will serve lunches if you phone ahead! That’s 306-792-4663.
They are hoping for warm weather and lots of snow this winter, and look forward to seeing everyone.
Fall work in the Hamlet was completed..snow fence up & cattails removed from in front of the culverts. We are ready for winter … regular snow cleaning and graveling will occur as needed. Council members are keeping track of any coyote sightings...so please report to them if any are seen.
John Neufeld, our RM councillor, reports that he is still on the Canora Fire Board and the Library Board for the RM of Good Lake. The RM has made sure water ways are clear for drainage, and they have changed equipment from gravel to snow plowing.
Lynn MacDonald, president of the Good Spirit Community Assoc. is finding it hard to carry on with activities with so few people on her committee. She has worked hard to organize the Christmas supper, (which will be held on Dec. 5th at Good Spirit Provincial Park,) going door to door, selling tickets as well as organizing the caterers & setting up for the supper.
She mentioned that Snow a Rama will be coming up in Feb., & volunteers will be needed.
It is sad to say, but if more people don’t show an interest in the Community Assoc. executive, it might actually fold. Please give Lynn a call at 306-641-3032, if you would be willing to take a term on the Community Assoc.
A hug is the perfect Christmas gift—one size fits all and it’s easily returned!
Merry Christmas from your friends at Good Spirit Acres
