Hwy 7 Through Vanscoy is an Option
O
n April 29, 2015 the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure hosted a second open house for residents in the Vanscoy area which was attended by about 125 people. At the previous open house held back in December and attended by less under 100 people, three options were presented by the Ministry, all taking new highway around to the north of the Village of Vanscoy. There have been ongoing concerns from businesses, individuals and local governments about the affect that bypassing Vanscoy would have on the community. The Ministry has decide to get opinions directly from the residents and this second open house, include an additional option to keep the highway running through the Village of Vanscoy. Known as ‘Option C’ a bypass north of Vanscoy will be built at a future date when safety and traffic conditions require the bypass. But until then, the soon to be constructed twinned highway will be reduced down to single lanes, following the existing highway through the Village and converting back to twinned highway on the other side. This is similar to the
highway running through Chamberlain today. The Ministry offered the following details for this option: • The existing highway (2-lane) through the Village of Vanscoy would remain. • Estimated cost is $0.2M to $7.0M. • Existing federal funding may not be available if bypass is constructed at a later date. • The existing, slower speed limit of 80 km/hr will remain or be reduced. • Highway 7 will be twinned from west of Saskatoon to east of Vanscoy and from west of Vanscoy to east of Delisle. • Property for a future bypass will protected, i.e. development will be controlled. • The location of the transition from 4 to 2 lanes on each side of Vanscoy will be determined through the design process. This may cost up to $7.0M. • Minor improvements will be explored to improve the safe operation of the highway. These improvements could include: • Improved signage; • Additional lighting; • Closing of intersections; • The cost estimate may be as low as $0.2M. Once the Ministry has approval of Option A, B, or C, there will be surveying
Option ‘C’ allows for twinning of Highway 7 to each side of Vanscoy leaving single lanes through the Village until future bypass (A or B) is built and soil testing, land purchase (as required), a detailed design and tender package preparation, with construction to start in two to three years, budget permitting. The Ministry collected almost 100 surveys which asked residents if they would like to see Option A, B or C. They expect more surveys to come by mail email shortly. The results will be combined with a recent survey of Vanscoy Village residents to determine which way to proceed.
Vanscoy of Village Surveys Opinions of Residents on Highway 7 Twinning
T
he Village of Vanscoy held a meeting on April 22nd with the residents to hear their opinions on the upcoming twinning of Highway 7. The results were shared with the Ministry of Highways, prior to a broader public meeting held on April 29. The Village meeting was attended by 74 residents of the Village who discussed the possible loca-
tions for the new Highway 7. They were asked to fill out comment forms stating their preferences for the new highway location. 9 additional comment forms were turned in by residents who were unable to attend. The results of the comments are as follows: - 51 residents preferred that Highway 7 go north around the Village as a 4
lane divided highway. - 25 residents would prefer that Highway 7 remain as is – a 2 lane through the Village at current location. - 4 residents would like to see 2 lanes through the Village and 2 lanes built to the North - 3 residents preferred that Highway 7 remain through the Village with 4 lanes

Editorial A Tale of Two Cities ...or should I say two Mayors ?? You probably didn’t notice but last month I accidently identified Delisle Mayor Dave Anderchek as the Mayor of Vanscoy. Fortunately it was only on the front page !! Obviously Robin Odnokon is Vanscoy’s Mayor and Dave is not. I apologized to Mayor Anderchek for the error and he was more than gracious in accepting my apology. I actually think the residents of Vanscoy were more offended but I didn’t want to tell him that !!

Even though I do not live in either Vanscoy or Delisle, I seem to have managed to get classified as a Vanscoy-ite, which is fine, but I would like it to be known that I have no allegiance to either, and I am open to equally offending either community, or even Asquith.

erit Bartles has been cooking up delicious meals at the Homestead Restaurant in Delisle for a year now. “we have been very happy with the support we have received from the community” she say “ and we look forward to celebrating our first anniversary with our customers on May 8th.
Berit has been a cook for over 35 years.

The menu includes some of the "common North American dishes" but The Homestead is not a fast food restaurant. All the dishes are made from scratch, with fresh ingredients sourced from local suppliers, and ‘a lot of love’.
She has specials posted in the restaurant each day, and will also create a custom ordered meal for anyone that requests it, as long as she has the ingredients on hand. The restaurant has a ‘homey’ atmosphere and Berit says that she receives many compliments on the decor, as well as the meals.

SCHOOL REPORTS
PIKE LAKE PRESCHOOL
A
s some of you may have noticed, there was no report from the preschool last month. I had a family emergency in Ontario and was unable to submit a report. So this month's report will fill you in on March and April at the preschool and what we expect to accomplish in May. In March, the 4-year olds spent a lot of time singing about, drawing, cutting out, and making pictures with various shapes. They seem to all know the 8 basic shapes now. They also learned about the number 7, an easier number to draw, and they had a lot of fun on St. Patrick's Day making shamrock crowns, wearing green, dancing like leprechauns, and hunting for "gold." The 3-year olds spent a day learning about building with blocks and gears. For their craft, they built with marshmallows and toothpicks. There were some interesting-looking creations! For the number 7, the students made a 7petal flower which we hung on the walls to start decorating our classroom for spring. They also enjoyed a St. Patrick's Day Party doing many of the same activities as the 4-year olds. We celebrated Easter at the end of March with an Easter Party for both classes. The students had fun in the kitchen making rice krispie treat bird nests. They played some Easter games and found some candy that the Easter Bunny had hidden. It was a fun morning and I think the students enjoyed
having the 2 classes combined. As I write this, there has only been one week of preschool in April. Both classes explored the number 8, with the 3-year olds making an octopus pencil holder and the 4-year olds making a spider using many 8s. The 4-year olds have also started a unit on Safety. This is always an interesting unit, listening to what the children have already learned from home and combining that with what I feel is important for them to know. We will end the month exploring the colour purple. What will May bring? Mother's Day, the number 9, the colour blue, and a few extra classes. I would like to take the kids outdoors to do some learning about the outside world, perhaps bugs or kites or plants. Stay tuned for our adventures! OUR REGISTRATION NIGHT WILL BE ON THURSDAY, MAY 21ST FROM 6:30-7:30 UPSTAIRS AT PIKE LAKE HALL. Your child must be at least 3 by December 31st, 2015 and toilet-trained. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Wendy Schoonbaert at 306-978-8164 or Breanne Wangler at 306-649-3354. 3-year old days: May 7, 14, 21, 28 4-year old days: May 5, 7, 12, 14, 19, 21, 26, 28 Colour: blue Number: 9

ooray for spring!!! We are celebrating, the warmer days of sunshine and the putting away of snowsuits. Indeed nicer temperatures have arrived and Pike Lake School has been taking every chance we can, to go outside and enjoy nature. Tuesday, April 14th was an exciting day for our school! Brian Lee and Scott Allan from Golf Saskatchewan visited our school in a funky car and brought us a gift! On behalf of Golf Saskatchewan, we were provided with a complimentary Golf-in-Schools Kit. Within this kit is a variety of child friendly golf equipment that we can use to introduce the sport and familiarize the students with golf terminology, safety and etiquette. This kit was developed by the Physical and Health Education Canada (PHE Canada) in partnership with Golf Canada and the PGA of Canada to help teach the learning outcomes in the Phys. Ed. Curriculum using golf as a conduit. We would like to respectfully thank Golf Saskatchewan for the Golf-in-Schools Kit and the t-shirts they provided to our school and students. We are looking forward to trying this kit out and are anticipating some fun new learning experiences! The School Community Council elections are once again upon us and will culminate on Friday, May 15th @ 3:30 p.m. Please contact the school, if you would like to learn more about the SCC or to obtain a nomination form. The SCC is a great way for parents/guardians and community members to become involved in our school happenings! It is a wonderful opportunity to play a role in positive changes to improve student learning within our school. We encourage you to give this School Community Council a try! All nomination forms should be re-

turned to the school on or before Friday, May 15th, 2015. As always we are looking towards the future, Pike Lake School must present future (looking ahead five years) enrollment numbers to the Ministry of Education to help plan the necessary funding for our school. We are sending out a request to contact the school for those families (or families you may know) in our community that would have school age children within the next five (5) years. This would include anyone who currently have preschoolers in their family. If you have a child who will be attending Kindergarten in the 2015-2016 school year, or if you are unsure if you are registered with us for future enrollment, please call the school at 306- 668-4808 to confirm your registration. This information is valuable to ensure our school is sufficiently funded for the anticipated number of students.

International Internet Safety Expert Opens the Eyes ‘Big Time’ of Local Students, Teachers and Parents
he communities in and around Asquith, Delisle, Vanscoy and Pike Lake had a rare opportunity to learn about how the use of social media can seriously affect their lives, and how to protect themselves. The Delisle Composite School Community Council members recognized that serious lack of knowledge that existed in the community regarding safe use of the internet. “I had attended an internet safety presentation by the school division a year ago”, said Ken Sowter of the Delisle School Community Council,“and the parents lack of awareness of the issues and teachers lack of knowledge of the technology, was stunning. It was obvious this needed to be addressed from a much higher, level, and right away.” So with funding provided by the Prairie Spirit School Division they hired Darren Laur of Personal Protection Systems. Darren is a Staff Sergeant with the Victoria City Po-
lice, with 28 years of service and is also a Certified Social Media Investigator. He is an international court recognized expert, author and speaker. Together with his wife Beth, they have presented their Social Media Safety program to over 260 schools, 216,000 students in western Canada and the U.S. and are a respected resource to business, government and police forces across North America. On April 28 they made three presentations in Delisle. One session was to 180 grade 6-8 students and another to 270 grade 9-12. Each session was 2 hours long, and so gripping that there was not a single moment that every student wasn’t completely focused on him. The no holds barred presentation addressed, head on, issues our own local students face in the online world. Attending teachers were shocked as the vast majority of students, as young as 10 years old, were raising thier hands in response to their per-
Millions in Unclaimed Child Care Benefits
F
amilies with children in Saskatchewan are eligible to receive money under the Government of Canada’s proposed enhanced Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB), but are at risk of not receiving the benefit unless they apply. Kelly Block, Member of Parliament for Saskatoon-Rosetown-Biggar today asked for help from the media and the public to encourage families to apply for the benefit. The majority of families with children, approximately 3.8 million, are known and will automatically receive the enhanced UCCB or be contacted by the Government to confirm their information. However, many eligible families are not currently captured by the Government’s UCCB system and may miss out on receiving money that is owed to them unless they apply. In 2015 alone, this repre-
sents potentially millions of dollars in unclaimed benefits. Under the proposed enhancements to the UCCB, families would receive almost $2,000 per year for each child under 6 and $720 per year for each child aged 6 through 17. The new benefit amounts would be retroactive to January 1, 2015 and be reflected in monthly payments to families in July 2015. The proposed enhancements to the UCCB are expected to more than double the number of families that benefit from 1.6 million to more than 4 million. If your family is not currently receiving the UCCB, has never received the UCCB, or has never applied for the Canada Child Tax Benefit and you still have children under 18 in your care, please go to www.canada.ca/taxsavings in order to find out how you can apply.
Child Care Month Parade

he provincial government has named May to be Child Care month in Saskatchewan with Early Childhood Educator appreciation day as May 14. The Vanscoy Early Learning centre will celebrate
May 14 at 5:00pm with an annual parade and bbq for the community. We will also celebrate 5 years of being open to the community in Vanscoy. We would like to thank the community for the overwhelming support!
sonal experience with topics such as sexting, pornography, exploitation, sexual predators, self-harm and suicide as well as their level of involvement with numerous social media networks, chat rooms and messaging services. Many of which the teachers had never even heard of. Darren had a detailed message regarding how to safely use or avoid these online services to prevent being exploited now, in the future, and the danger in exploiting others who may chose to selfharm or commit suicide and the legal consequences. He even had them take out their phones and change the privacy setting, almost all of which were not set properly !! He took students on a rollercoaster from laughter to tears with real life examples of what students across North America are dealing with, and they sucked it up like dry sponges. Even after each session ended, students stayed to talk directly to Darren about their own personal experience.
Darren “Crime Fighter Guy” Laur captivates local students A third session was held in the evening, open to all adults in the community, to make them aware of what the students had just been taught and to show them how they can help their families navigate the dangers they face. Like the teachers, parents were shaking thier heads in disbelief when learning what their children are involved in, and quickly realized how far from understanding how to protect them they were. Darren then took them through the steps of using tools such privacy setting and software products,
again most of which were not using at all, and offer advice on recognizing signs of children that are abusing or being abused on the internet.
The biggest challenge youth face with the internet, is parenting, or the lack of it “We see the same reaction at every student presentation we do” says Darren, “and we always recommend that it is followed by our presentation to the parents, because once I leave the students are back to nowhere to turn
Reactions to Internet Safety Presentations Teacher: The teachers loved your message. The internet IS amazing, and kids can be part of a learning community and involve themselves in areas they are passionate about. It's great that you open with that. Then, the awareness of what they are possibly entering is the cautionary side. We don't send kids out to walk to school without first teaching them traffic safety rules... I think parents are far less savvy since they are not digitally aware, and need help teaching their kids to navigate safely. You take the message straight to the kids. It was a terrific presentation, with the correct level of "be careful - be safe" without demonizing the Internet. The cyber-bullying message is always, unfortunately, necessary. Thanks again! Students: We thought the presentation was amazing, some of the things you talked about really hit home Hey I saw you present in Delisle today. Having suffered a few of the topics you covered it really touched me, so I am reaching out to say thank you and to ask if you could check my privacy settings Hi I saw your presentation today in Delisle at my school and I was wondering if you could see if my Facebook is private? Thank you! Your presentation was amazing today and I'm very glad I got to see it My friends really enjoyed your presentation you’re very confident and talented at what you do. Thanks for helping me figure out how to lock my Facebook down! Hey Darren I am from Delisle school and I listened and watched your presentation I'm very touched you are a great
speaker, I would have never known that the Internet was so harmful and scary may you please make sure that my Facebook walls are up and private. It would be great full thanks again Thank you very much and that presentation was the most eye opening one I've ever seen. Like we've all been through presentations like these but none got through like yours did. Keep it going Cuz it’s saving lives “
for support”. “The biggest challenge youth face with the internet is parenting. or the lack of it” says Darren. “Parents need to learn the new language of the internet and communicate with their kids”. Darren’s company offers free follow-up and ongoing support to both students, who may need help or are having a personal issue on social media, as well as support for parents, on his website at www.personalprotectionsystems.ca In two days since the presentation Darren has had a dozen parents and over 100 students contact him for help on setting their Facebook privacy settings. Many who saw the presentations have contacted them directly. Check out the comments in the column to the left.
Everybody that I talked to about it was very impressed and liked it a lot, I'm so happy that you are doing this. No presentation I have heard about Internet safety was as good as that. What I was most impressed with was how you continually told people you were there to talk to, I can see how that could change things for kids. Thanks for checking it, I'll be sure to make some changes Parents: Awesome, Awesome presentation. I think that it should be mandatory for all parents to attend. My kids are all 10 and under and I will push for you to come back for sure! Lots to learn! I have to say darren i truly enjoyed your presentation..I was the lady that came to you during door prizes for the picture location thing. Thank you for enlightening our children and us parents. I consider myself an internet dummie and that worries me for my kids sake. It is a scary world with the internet. Thank you again for doing what you do. !!! My kids saw you today in Delisle school. They said you were great. Thanks! Sounds like great lessons for them. They said you were offering to see if my Facebook profile is safe. Not sure if that's true. Thanks either way.
At Shaklee we believe nature holds the answers to a long and healthy life. That’s why we take extraordinary measures to bring you truly life-enhancing products, and guarantee the quality, safety and performance of every one of them.

Amanda Richmond Farm Business Management Specialist
hen it comes to marketing your grain, contracts are an important tool. Most farmers will enter into several grain contracts in a year, but do they fully understand the obligations of such contracts. With the large variety of contract types and the differences from one company to the next, it can be hard to keep it all straight. Here is some information that can help you to better understand
Understanding Grain Contracts
grain contracts. Contract terms and conditions can vary significantly from one grain company to the next and will also differ between contact types (i.e. deferred delivery or basis contract). To avoid any misunderstanding the entire contract should be read and understood prior to signing. Once signed the contract is legally enforceable.
If there are any special terms and conditions discussed with the grain company staff, ensure that the agreements made with the staff are in writing. Having a verbal agreement can be difficult to enforce. Most contracts will have a remarks and special terms section where any agreements made with the local grain company can be inserted. Every contract has quantity and quality terms and
the grain company is only required to accept the terms agreed upon in the contract. If the quality and quantity differs at the time of delivery penalties and discounts could be applied. Prior to signing the contract, ask about the schedule of discounts that may apply.
Contract termination is most often only available through payment of liquidated damages. Before signing the contract, be sure to know what the cost of the liquidated damages would be if the contract were to be terminated. Liquidated dam-
ages may also apply if there is a production shortfall. Knowing your options can save a lot of headaches in the event of a contract termination.
Grain contracts can vary significantly from one grain company to the next and each contract can have different terms and conditions using different terminology. To help with the interpretation of grain contracts the Canadian Canola Growers Association has put together a practical guide to grain contracts.

have spoken about the Senate before, but felt inclined to give it another go in light of the negative publicity brought on by the Duffy affair. There are undoubtedly bad apples in every barrel but that does not mean the whole lot is rotten. The law will provide for the miscreants, but there are many (most) that are good, serious hard working members. But for the life of me I wonder how they continue to perform under the current pressures. I have considerable experience working for and with members of the Canadian Senate as a witness, information provider and personal acquaintance. It has been

in situations where the Senators or their panels were seeking information to enlighten the public but more often to provide the parliamentarians with specifics they did not have the time or opportunity to ferret out. These studies usually resulted in well thought out recommendations for the betterment of a sector of the public under some difficulties. From personal experience I site the study of the beef industry that uncovered the influence of the Mafia in Montreal on western beef pricing. Another would be the initial studies of railway’s inability to move western grain and which eventually led to legislation setting volume standards. Some would abolish the
Senate which would be a tragedy. Without a Senate there are no limits on the way that a majority government can distort our parliamentary democracy. Still others would have an elected Senate which unfortunately would give powers to the Senate they do not need or want. An elected Senate would diminish the powers of the provincial legislatures to speak on local issues. The public should think long and hard before jumping on the bandwagon over a break in the system. The Senate is a vital part of our parliamentary system and worth our support. Opinions expressed here are those of the author.

· The deficit has been reduced from $55.6 billion at the height of the Great Recession to a projected surplus of $1.4 billion for 2015–16. · The Harper Government paid down $37 billion in debt before the Great Recession, an important reason why Canada’s total government net debt burden is the lowest of any Group of Seven (G-7) country and among the lowest of the G-20 countries. · Balanced budget legislation will be tabled to enshrine in law the Harper Government’s responsible fiscal management policy that is creating jobs and putting more
money back into the pockets of Canadians. · A balanced budget allows the Harper Government to cut taxes further for Canadian families and individuals.
Supporting Jobs and Growth: · Reducing the small business tax rate to 9 per cent by 2019—putting an estimated $2.7 billion back into the pockets of job-creating small businesses and their owners between now and 2019–20. · Providing manufacturers with a 10-year accelerated capital cost allowance to encourage productivityenhancing investment in machinery and equipment. · Increasing the Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption to $1 million for owners of farm and fishing businesses. · Improving access to financing for Canadian small businesses through the Canada Small Business Financing Program. · Expanding the services offered through the Business Development Bank of Canada and Export Development Canada to help small and medium-sized businesses. · Providing $14 million over two years to Futurpreneur Canada in support of young entrepreneurs. · Supporting the Action Plan for Women Entrepreneurs to help women business owners succeed. · Helping innovative companies grow and create jobs through the Venture Capital Action Plan. · Supporting provinces and territories to facilitate the harmonization of apprenticeship training and certification requirements in targeted Red Seal trades. · Investing in world-class research and development by providing over $1.5 billion in funding over five years to advance the Government’s renewed science, technology and innovation strategy. · Continuing to provide $5.35 billion per year on average for provincial, territorial and municipal infrastructure under the New Building Canada Plan. Investing $750 million over two years starting in 2017–18, and $1 billion per year thereafter, for a new Public Transit Fund aimed at building new public transit infrastructure to reduce congestion and fight gridlock in large cities.

Ensuring the Security of Canadians: · Increasing National Defence funding by providing the Canadian Armed Forces with close to $12 billion over 10 years, thus ensuring that Canada can continue to field a combat-capable military ready to serve at home and abroad. · Supporting the deployment of the Canadian Armed Forces by providing National Defence with up to $360 million in 2015–16 in order to counter ISIS. · Countering terrorism by providing additional resources to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and the Canada Border Services Agency. · Enhancing Canada’s capacity to gather foreign intelligence. Protecting the integrity of our borders and facilitating legitimate travel to Canada for low-risk travelers from select visa-required countries.
Quick Fact · A typical two-earner Canadian family of four will receive tax relief and increased benefits of up to $6,600 in 2015 because of the Harper Government’s tax cuts and increased benefits.

MLA REPORT
April 22, 2015 Randy Weekes, MLA Economic Diversity Driving Saskatchewan’s Strength Saskatchewan’s job growth, low unemployment rate and new all-time records for wholesale trade and manufacturing shipments are just a few examples of how our strong and diversified economy is well-positioned to absorb short-term challenges in the energy sector. According to the latest labour force figures from Statistics Canada, there are thousands of new full-time jobs across Saskatchewan and our unemployment rate remains the lowest in Canada. Our province has also set all-time records for wholesale trade – increasing nearly 26% to $2.5 billion – and manufacturing shipments totaling $1.5 billion, the highest ever for the province. The numbers confirm what we already know – Saskatchewan’s strong and diversified economy has a broad base. These numbers also build on a flurry of great economic news that includes the announcement of a $200 million expansion at Evraz, a $25 million upgrade to the Carrot River sawmill and the new Canada-India trade deal for Saskatchewan uranium. Saskatchewan Tax Credits Help Keep Taxes Low The personal tax filing deadline for the 2014 tax year is quickly approaching and Saskatchewan people are encouraged to take advantage of the various provincial tax credits, including: First-Time Homebuyers Tax Credit A non-refundable income tax credit of up to $1,100, based on the first $10,000 of an eligible home purchase (a similar federal credit of up to $750 is also available). Graduate Retention Program Income tax credits that refund up to $20,000 of tuition fees paid by eligible post-secondary graduates who live in Saskatchewan and file a Saskatchewan tax return. Low-Income Tax Credit A refundable income tax credit paid quarterly to assist lower-income Saskatchewan people. The credit is paid in conjunction with the federal Goods and Services Tax Credit. Active Families Benefit A refundable income tax credit of up to $150 per child 18 years of age or younger that helps families with the cost of children’s participation in cultural, recreational and sports activities. Employees’ Tool Tax Credit
A non-refundable income tax credit that helps with the cost of purchasing, replacing or upgrading eligible tools by qualifying employees as a condition of their employment. Our government has delivered the largest income tax and education property tax cuts in Saskatchewan history. For the 2015 tax year, the personal income tax reductions we’ve introduced are expected to save people more than $485 million. Since 2007, as a result of these income tax measures, Saskatchewan people have saved more than $3.3 billion. SaskAlert Launches Province-Wide The province’s new emergency public alerting program has successfully completed its testing phase and is being implemented across Saskatchewan. SaskAlert can provide critical information about emergency situations as they are developing so residents of the affected area will be able to take action to protect themselves, their families and their property. Alerts may be created for severe weather-related events such as tornadoes, plow winds, flooding and blizzards. Other events that may trigger alerts include wildfires, hazardous material spills, train derailments, boil water and shelter-in-place advisories, significant highway closures and community evacuations.

Pancake Breakfast Raises $1,700
T
he Vanscoy Hall’s Open house and Pancake Breakfast was served on April 12th to raise funds for new bathrooms. Despite the wind blowing out our grills and us opening the doors with no pancakes, we served 250 breakfasts; that included, pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs, and fresh fruit. The community was very supportive in our efforts to “fix the ugly”, and continue it into the bathrooms at the hall. We cannot thank Glen, Shelley and Zach enough for their dedication and tireless hours spent on getting the hall looking better and cook-
H
ing us all breakfast. They along with our amazing volunteers, took their time to help at the breakfast and get us started on our bathroom project. Our efforts were awarded with a profit of $1150 for the breakfast and $550 in direct donations. If you wish to make a donation, you can visit the Village Office and they will issue you a tax receipt. Thank you for supporting this great cause. We are still looking for help to get the bathrooms fixed, perhaps a plumber and/or carpenter is able to assist us or offer input. Please text, call or email me at 306.221.8192 or tnbross@hotmail.com. Our next pancake breakfast will be held on October 10th to start off our Quad Rally.

3rd Annual Mother & Daughter Tea Party... Simply Beautiful!
L
ooking around the beautifully decorated hall this year and all the pink tables set for tea always puts a smile on my face. We opened the doors at 2:00 and all the girls came into the hall with their pretty dresses on and got right to work; making pretty tea hats, playing games, taking fun photos, colouring, painting nails, and visiting. Tea and snacks were served to 105 ladies this year, ranging in age from babies to grandmothers. I truly think this is a wonderful way to
spend times with the ladies we love most in our lives. For the second year in a row, Kimberley Mechor was able to attend with her Steeped Tea display and served all the ladies wonderful Irish Breakfast Tea. Thomas Fresh supplied us with all the fruit and vegetables, and all the delicious desserts were donated by Wendy, Ty, Kimberly and myself. The Vanscoy Community Recreation Board, Makeup Mischief and Alan Jackson supplied us with all raffle baskets.
And with the support of many businesses, lots of ladies took home some great door prizes. I enjoy planning the tea party for everyone. The time and effort it takes our volunteers is well worth the smiles, giggles and memories everyone shares. I look forward to next year’s tea party. Thanks to everyone that came, helped and supported this event. If you are interested in helping out next spring, please text, call or email me at 306.221.8192 or tnbross@hotmail.com
