Plans for Diamond Improvements and Zamboni Sarah Normandeau, Sports and Rec Director, says over the past three years the baseball numbers have tripled here in Ste. Anne and there has been considerably more use of the diamonds. There are four baseball diamonds in the ball park behind the arena with two in better condition ready for league play while the other two could use some TLC. The town has allocated $100,000 for upgrades to the baseball diamonds and Operations Manager John Desrochers says they’re looking to make some significant drainage improvements. The arena will also be getting a Zamboni upgrade this year. The current unit has reached the end of its lifespan so plans to purchase a used Zamboni that is still in good condition are underway. The town has budgeted $45,000 for the purchase of the Zamboni and hopes to have the unit onsite for the next hockey season.
Library Given Lifeline
The library board went before both the councils of the Town and the RM of Ste. Anne to ask for additional support as the number of patrons to the library has increased significantly in recent years and funding form the Town and the RM has not increased in over 8 years. The Library Board asked for an additional $4,000 in yearly grants at both council meetings. Following a recent council meeting, the RM of Ste. Anne announced they will increase their annual funding to the library from $10,000 to $15,000 for 2018 and 2019 and re-evaluate in 2020 to see if that is still appropriate. About 42% of the patrons who visit the library are from the RM. In previous years, the municipality gave $50 per household for approximately 200 families who use the library. Now, they have changed that to $60 per household based on the approximately 250 families who use the library each month. That also applies to residents of the RM of Ste. Anne who use the Jake Epp Library in Steinbach. Once residents purchase their membership, they can bring their receipt to the municipal office and they will be refunded $60 of the cost of the membership. The Town of Ste. Anne council has not yet announced their decision. The Town says they will announce their decision at their next council meeting on April 3rd.
