It wasn’t the summer anyone had hoped or planned for, but people have made the best of things, whether it included some lake time, a little travel time or a staycation enjoying their community and some area sightseeing. Enjoy your long weekend folks. Slow down on those highways and arrive alive.
Following the long weekend, school zones will become busy again, so please be mindful of this when travelling down these streets. School will look so much different this year, however teachers, staff and division offices have worked tirelessly to create the safest place possible for students. Please be patient and kind to them all as they experience an unprecedented school year.
Welcome to new St. Peter’s principal, Kelvin Colliar, who has taken the helm at this school after the position was vacated by Tyson Volk, who accepted a position in the Light of Christ Catholic School Division office.
The Unity Golf Club is still open. Normally the course runs as long as the weather holds.
Congratulations Unity Cardinals senior men’s ball player, Braden Poleris, who captured both team MVP and West Division MVP during the revised NSRBL season.
Harvest is happening. Be mindful of farm equipment on the roads as they are just doing their job.
After the Sask. Hockey return to play was released, Unity Minor Hockey is trying to decide how best to run their season. They know they can’t make an entire season of plans just yet, as many things can change, however, they are committed to having some kind of a hockey season for kids this year.
The good news about hockey is that the U18 Midget AA program that was moved to Kerrobert will still be coached by Stan Weber, Pat Sperle and Dwayne Scott, who have many years of experience amongst them. Once games have been given the go ahead, some of them will be played at the Unity arena.
The Unity 4-H Club is having an informational meeting Sept. 6
The fundraiser to replace the map, sign and markers at the Pleasant View Cemetery was given a big boost by a fundraiser hosted and held at Hollyhock’s greenhouse, generating more than $4,000. With the added $9,000 in donations already received, organizers say they are halfway to their goal.
Churches are up and running. Some are offering in-house and online services while others are just hosting in-house worship services. COVID-19 protocols are adhered to, but please refer to the church’s Facebook page or call their minister to see what specific details you may need to know before attending.
Here’s hoping this finds you all safe, healthy and socially distanced. Until next week ...
