On Sept 15 tragedy struck the community of Ste. Anne as a young girl was struck by a train. Kharma was just 11 years old when she passed away. The community has come together with various fundraising and support efforts to ease the unbelievable stress the family is going through. A GoFundMe page quickly raised over $5,000 and this was already given to the family. The local CDC has opened a trust account at the Caisse, and donations are still being accepted.
Community members have banded together and prepared meals for the family. During a recent meeting with family members, a new fund raising effort is underway to establish a memorial bench in the community. You can donate at www.youcaring.com and search “Kharma”. On October 11 the Ste. Anne Hotel is hosting a “poutine” fundraiser for Kharma with all proceeds donated towards the memorial bench.
Youth Nailed for Multiple Crimes
Ste. Anne Resident Appointed to Municipal Police Board Anni Markmann with Ste. Anne Tax Services is one of seven new members appointed to municipal police boards throughout the province. “Municipal police boards play an important role in ensuring safety for Manitobans,” said Justice Minister Heather Stefanson. “These boards provide governance, direction and accountability to local police agencies, whose priority is to protect their communities. I look forward to the important contributions these new members will make to their respective police boards.” The Police Services Act requires every municipality that operates a police service to create and maintain a police board. They provide civilian governance as well as administrative direction. Outside the city of Winnipeg, the province is responsible for appointing one board member. The remaining members are selected by municipal councils. Markmann is a certified financial planner and runs her own business offering financial advice to families, small business owners and seniors. She has also served on a variety of local boards including the Women’s Business Network Southeast Manitoba.
A youth from Ste. Anne was arrested over the weekend on multiple charges all related to offences over the past year. Ste. Anne Police Chief Marc Robichaud says the youth has been charged with numerous property offences and multiple counts of break and enter in the Town and Rural Municipality of Ste. Anne. He notes some of the offences were related to the recent break in at the Pro Hardware in Ste. Anne, theft and burning of a motor vehicle and theft of over $10,000 from a residence. Robichaud says they have recovered over $5,000 in cash and have seized other various items. In total the youth has been charged with 15 different offenses and he has been remanded into custody.
Mid-September Storm
Most of Ste. Anne and area experienced power outages, damaging winds and lots of debris throughout the evening into the morning of Sept 20th. A storm blew through the area with wind gusts of over 100 kph. Here is some of the damage that took place along the main drag in town.
Former Ste. Anne Fire Chief Headlines Hospital Campaign Retired Ste. Anne Fire Chief Ken Dayment has found another way to help the community by sharing his personal story to help raise funds and awareness for the St Boniface Hospital
Foundation. Dayment will be the face of this year’s fundraising campaign after spending countless hours receiving care at the St. Boniface Hospital.
Co-op Donates to ROC Eastman
Thirty years ago, at the young age of 40, Dayment suffered a major heart attack. “I was only 40. It was terrifying. The doctors and nurses at St. Boniface Hospital literally saved my life,” Dayment recalled. “Afterwards, my doctor told me that my heart attack was caused by heart failure. Heart failure. At 40? Was my time up?” Over the years, Dayment has had many procedures at St. Boniface Hospital. Then two years ago, he had a complicated 12-hour surgery to repair one of his heart valves and to insert a new mechanical valve. “Before I left the Hospital, I had a pacemaker and defibrillator put in my chest to keep me alive. My family now calls me the Bionic Man!” Dayment joked.
Dayment said he has spent over 1,000 hours at the St. Boniface Hospital over the years, which makes him a perfect spokesperson for the facility. Dayment spent 40 years of his life as a volunteer fire fighter for the Ste. Anne Fire Department.
Meet Your Neighbours 2017 Ste. Anne Co-op put out the call and the community answered. As part of Fuel Good Day on September 19, five cents from every litre of fuel purchased at Ste. Anne Co-op Gas Bars were donated to Recreation Opportunities for Children (ROC), Eastman. At the end of the day, Co-op members and customers helped raise over $8,400 for the organization that creates brighter futures for children in need and their families by giving them access to the recreation activities that drive their passions. “Ste. Anne Co-op is committed to serving the community and giving back, not just on this day but throughout the year,” said Henry Nickel, General Manager of Ste. Anne Co-op. “Fuel Good Day is one of many ways we fuel our communities, whether it’s by sharing profits with our members or supporting local organizations that are doing important work right here in our own backyard.”
Meet Your Neighbours was held at the Redemptorist Park on September 17. It was a great event though the weather was a bit on the cooler side. Community members enjoyed shopping, bouncers, face painting, music and more. The money raised at the beer gardens was donated to The Brown Family. Food was served up by the Knights of Columbus. Everyone had a chance to win $150 cash by picking a creatively rolled up paper stuck to a giant Canada 150 board. By the end of the event,
the cash that was not won, was also donated to the Brown Family.
