Happy New Year!
Our Community Christmas supper & social was held at Good Spirit Provincial Park Rec. Hall last month. The hall was decorated in the Christmas theme as well as beautifully set tables. Following the blessing, supper was served buffet style. Three G’ Friends from Canora catered again this year, & filled our tummies to the brim!! Christmas music filled the air, as people visited with one another. There were residents, young and old as well as guests who were welcomed to the festivities. The Christmas spirit prevaled by gifts of money & non-perishable foods to be taken to the Salvation Army. Thank you to all who attended and made this year’s party one to remember.
We got some snow during Dec. which has given us the chance to ride the snow mobile trails. The word has been out about the snow, so we have seen a lot of riders. The trails are sort of getting pounded out now...so caution must be taken while on the trails....also there is still some open water in places.
Thanks to Brad, Logan & Chris for getting the ice at the skating rink ready in time for Christmas. It is a lot of work, & we all appreciate it. It got a lot of use over the holidays! Also, thank you Greg for fixing the gate to the rink!
We have had families visiting over the holidays, & some adventurous people making their own cross country ski trails, as well doing some snow shoeing.
That’s the advantage of living in this community! The trails &/or golf course are literally outside our doors! There are young families living here, as well as seniors..and new babies expected in the New year.
Fern at Good Spirit Market wants everyone to think... SNOW, SNOW,SNOW! She has been busy making buns over the holidays...can hardly keep up! Coffee goers meet there morning & afternoon to visit and pick up our mail or get some snacks, groceries or gasoline. We are so lucky to have this convenience store here!
The first week in Feb. is the for Prairie Women on Snowmobiles as well as SnowArama...two very important charities. These groups will be passing through the Good Spirit area, & look forward to our hospitality. If you are able to volunteer your time or baking, please let Elaine Park (306-620-6983)or Lynn McDonald ( 306-641-3032)know...if you would like to donate to these charities, call Elaine for Prairie Women or Barry Bradshaw (306- 621-5127)for SnowArama.
Hamlet Council News
Prior to winter closing in the Hamlet was able to clean out the culverts channels of all bull rushes as to allow the water to flow freely in the spring. Work was also completed in cleaning out some roots and debris at the east end of the alley behind Pebble Beach Road. The intention is to do some work behind the west end alley of Pebble Beach Road in the spring.
The training for the proper use of the defibrillator has been completed with a number of new faces on board. The pads have been refreshed and are ready for use.
With the new year the Hamlet Board will be beginning the process of setting up budgets for 2016, which promises to be challenging.
As you may have noted, a trapper has been granted permission to trap some coyotes as they have become a menacing nuisance around the Hamlet.
The Hamlet Board would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy New Year!
I wish everyone Peace, Happiness and Joy in the coming Year!
