Snow Angels

Also, my neighbor, George Eikel... He is out there during and after every snowfall snow blowing the majority of the side-walks on James Street! Thanks George :)” Thank you Chelsey for your submission. We had several comments about anoth-er Snow Angel, Brandon Booth. Many residents on Finch and beyond have commented to this office that he was out blow-ing off driveways and sidewalks.

To the many who weren’t mentioned, thank you for your kindness and community mindedness, even though nothing is said, your angel act was very much appreciated!

February has been our snow month! We have had more than our share of the white stuff in the last couple of weeks. I sent a call out through our Facebook page for people to send out a thank you to the wonderful people that are our Snow Angels. We had several thank you’s to our town crew for the amazing job they did clearing our streets. I live in Saskatoon and would enjoy it if my street and back alley were cleared!

Chelsey Parry sent an email in , “First of all, the town of Lang-ham has been amazing with snow removal, so kudos to them.

We are a volunteer based community, with a combi-nation of fire department, safety & quality coordina-tors & public works. We care about our community and are currently working on updating emergency planning procedures, including a community siren for emergencies. With help from the community, we will be prepared. This does not have to be a time consuming task, you can be as heavily involved as you

wish, or just attend quarterly meetings for emer-gency preparedness updates. Our family time is im-portant and with your help, we can be prepared as a community. Any involvement you would like to give is appreciated. Please contact: Tracy Simpson—EMO Coordinator

New Roots

The 1st Langham Girls Guides have the unique op-

portunity to give back to their community through

the New Roots project. Last year, Langham Elemen-

tary School seen their inside and outside walls begin

to buckle. With the necessary repairs that ensured

our children’s safety, the green space in front of the

school was torn up. The 1st Langham Girl Guides

offered to help replace the grass in front of the

school. With this came an opportunity to apply for a

green space grant designed for Girl Guides of Cana-

da. We applied for the grant and each of our units;

Sparks, Brownies and Guides were awarded $500 to

renew the green space at Langham Elementary

School. Between the grant and our own district

money we now have $2000 to put towards putting

down NEW ROOTS at our school. We have chal-

lenged our most experienced girls, the Guides, to do

the planning and implementing of such a large scale

project. We look forward to taking our units to shop

at Dieter Martin Greenhouse and learn from them

how to care and create a sustainable green space

that our families can enjoy for years to come.

Come & see what our skaters have

learned this season!

Myth Buster: Plus 60 Name Change In an attempt to bust the myth that somehow there is an age requirement for participating in activities with the Plus 60 Group we are considering changing our name. The executive committee for The Plus 60 Group believe that by changing our name the ‘junior’ seniors, and or retirees, of our community may feel more welcome. Therefore we are asking for name change suggestions; ‘Good Times’, ‘Dynasty Club’, ‘Heritage Coffee Cup Gallery’, and my personal favorite, ‘Friends of Dick and Jane’ have already been submitted. We ask that you please vote for one of these or suggest one of your own that would make you feel welcome, please contact any club member at coffee hour at the Museum, or Corinne Waldner at the town office (306) 283-4806 or myself, Sela (306) 283-4381. For those of you who are not familiar with us, The Plus 60 Group, we host coffee hour every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 9:30-10:30am, Potluck suppers on the last Wednesday of every month.
