Finally some spring weather... Halleluiah!
The Community Association Annual & Hamlet Board Spring Information meetings were well attended on Sun. April 24th.
The Community Association President Lynn MacDonald gave her annual report of the year’s activities, followed by Treasurer Kelly Anne Ostafie with her report. New volunteers to join the Community Association Board are Barb Coleridge, Gilda Walls & Sherry Shumay. They plan to have the Pancake Breakfast on June 4th from 8 AM to 11 AM. Family memberships will be sold at this time as well. Volunteers would be appreciated to help clean up the camp kitchen for breakfast & to help cook & serve the pancakes & sausages.
At the spring informational Hamlet Board meeting, after much discussion, residents were informed that the RM of Good Lake had agreed to an abatement of taxes for the fairways on the Golf Resort for this year.
The finances for 2015 was presented as well the budget for the coming year. Councilors mentioned plans for a lot of road work that must be done in our hamlet this spring/summer, as well as the need for Sask Power to look after power poles that are threatening to fall over, which would cut the electricity to our entire Hamlet.
We are fortunate that the water seems to be moving through the community very well this year, thanks to work on roads & culverts last year and I hear that the water is supposed to be subsiding.
There will be spraying for the tent caterpillars again this spring. Residents will be notified by email when this will take place. If the RM does not have your email address, please contact them at [email protected]
Joan Popoff the secretary of the RM was at the meeting representing the RM of Good Lake.
John Neufeld, RM councilor, reported that the Tiny dump will be open on Wed. May 4 from 1pm to 5pm and every Wed. & Sun. for the summer. $ 5 fee per trailer & half ton truck load.
