Richer Hosts Canada Day Celebration
Hundreds gathered at the Dawson Trail Museum to celebrate Canada Day in Richer with music, food and fireworks.
Face painting and balloon creations, mascots, activity bags, fire fighters obstacle, a barrel trail and wagon rides kept families hopping during the day. Thanks to some wonderful volunteers free cake and pop -
corn were given out and the BBQ was in overdrive.
The event is hosted by the Richer Recreation Committee but they note that it is the generosity of the volunteers and sponsors who are key to making this and the multitude of other annual events successful.

RCC Awards Two Bursaries
T-Shirts Raise Over $1,100 for Bursaries
Dan Guetre with the Dawson Trail Dispatch recently presented a cheque for $1,105 to the Richer Community Club to be used for the Brent Wery Memorial Bursaries starting in 2024.
“Brent left an impact on me as we talked regularly about growing the community,” said Guetre who call Richer home. “With the help of Erin from Spruce Corner Creations and Norm from Burnell’s Food Plus, we were able to get these shirts out to the public with one of Brent’s most iconic quotes.”
Currently there are a few t-shirts left at Burnell’s for sale but they are going fast.
The “You’re not stuck if you get unstuck” t-shirts not only represent an actual encounter with mud for Brent Wery, but has turned into a philosophy of never giving up and finding solutions.
With the help of some of the Wery family, the RCC Brent Wery Memorial bursaries in the amount of $250.00 each were presented to Sylvie Van Den Driessche and Cassidy Vinet (pictured).
Celebration of Life Draws Hundreds
A couple of weeks ago, the Dutiaume family hosted a celebration of life in the Dawson Trail Park in honour of multiple family members who had passed away recently.
The event, a Celebration of Life, was an entertainment filled day and attracted guests from all over the province.
From The Pastor’s Desk... The Waterfall
By Pastor Ben Funk
May I surmise that my readers are all familiar with a waterfall, small or great, spectacular or minuscule. I am always entertained by the less spectacular ones. Those that are located in more obscure places, hidden away from open view. One can hear the hollow sound of the falls from a distance as the water cascades down the rocks edge hidden in the timeless forest’s secrets. As one comes closer, one begins to hear the deafening roar of a spectacular waterfall. As one comes closer, you pause and watch as the water smoothly slides down
like paper being shredded on the rocks. The trees around the falls grow to reach the heavens as the pillowy clouds started to hover over the area. The air is thick with anticipation. The trees are filled with life as they vacillate in the cool breeze. Splash!
All-of-a-sudden a fish frees itself from the water’s coat and splashes water all over the onlookers. As soon as one turns around to investigate, the fish is gone. The water tastes pure and fresh. The over spray from the falls feels cool to the face, as it slithered down the face, and drops onto the surface of the water to form a ripple.
Most of the rocks in the area of the waterfalls are covered with some slippery moss which
tickles your bare feet. You are mesmerized by the view, you stand still like a statue as you take in the picturesque landscape. With this setting in mind I am convinced that Jesus offers this kind of refreshing water of life for our lives. The fresh water of His word refreshing our souls as we intentionally converse with Him in our lives. Like the seclud ed waterfall, Jesus frequented those places to have intentional conversation with Father. I invite you to take another look, He is delightful.
Richer Fellowship invites you to intentionally seek out a quiet place to be with Jesus.
Richer Fellowship invites you to join in worship each Sunday at 10:30am, or tune into YouTube.
Hundreds gathered under the Premier Tech Multiplex in the Dawson Trail Park to remember members of the Dutiaume family past and present. The family has been entertaining the community for decades and many have achieved national success.
