Dawson Trail MLA Calling it Quits
March 2016
Youth Wins with Peace Poster
Premier Greg Selinger with Dawson Trail MLA Ron Lemieux. After a lengthy career in politics, Dawson Trail MLA Ron Lemieux says he will not re-run in the April 19 Provincial Election. According to news reports, Lemieux had a bit of a health scare while vacationing in Arizona which led to him re-evaluating his life. He has decided to spend more time focusing on his family. He is the last veteran MLA to drop out of running, and while he did hint before that previous departures of his colleagues will influence his decision, his reasoning’s now are focused on family. Lemieux has not only served as the local MLA since 1999 when he defeated former PC MLA Ben Sveinson, but has held various cabinet posts under both former Premier Gary Doer and current Premier Greg Selinger. A new candidate for the NDP in the Dawson Trail Constituency has not been announced.

Lions Club Donates to Local Food Bank
Pictured are Manager Claudette Lavack, Board Members Norbert Ritchot, Suzanne Ritchot, Chair Aurele Boisvert, and Lions Club members Cathy, Steve, and Chris. The local Ste. Anne food bank, the Accueil Kateri Centre, recently had a visit from the Ste. Anne Lions Club where they were presented with a donation of $1,300 raised through a recent fundraiser evening of coffee and entertainment. The visit was very informational as the Lion member also discovered how the centre’s process works. The center currently helps 28 local families with a food hamper every two weeks. The center is located at 132 Centrale Ave with the entrance just behind the Knights of Columbus Hall. If you find yourself in need of a little extra food at any time, registration is easy. You can reach the centre at 204-371-4984. The centre is open every other Wednesday between 2 pm and 4 pm. If you would like to help out with a food donation there are donation bins located at Ste. Anne Builders Supply, Ste. Anne Groceries, Ste. Anne Catholic Church, Ste. Anne Dayspring Fellowship Church and Burnell’s Food Plus in Richer.
