MESSAGE FROM THE RECREATION DIRECTOR
Hello from Tara Leduc, the new Recreation Director! I am almost a month into filling the big shoes left by Nathalie Claing and Dee Teerstra and I am having fun!

We have a lively June coming, with the TCA Board Meeting on June 6th, Annual General Meeting on June 10th, pancake breakfast to celebrate Dads on June 19th, Tagish Seniors’ Dinner on June 24th. And of course Canada Day celebrations on July 1st! I would love to meet you and hear about your ideas for how we can make Tagish the best little community. We’ll put the kettle on, and there’s usually cookies. Come in and say Hello!

Being Safe –Recently there have been 3 incidents of vandalism in the community of Tagish. These have cost the individuals a great deal of money to repair the damage to property. Several people are putting in cameras and others are seriously considering doing the same. This is a very serious situation because one never knows who will be hit next. Let’s all practice Neighbourhood Watch Awareness. If you see any suspicious activity, please call the RCMP.
