New Location

Wow, time seems to be slipping by!

What have we been up to? Well, things have been crazy around here...which is a good thing! Since our last post, the Town and R.M. offices have moved location. We are now located at 1312 Railway Avenue. We are in the former Rural Service Centre building. Be sure to stop by and check it out! One of the biggest bonuses to the new location is no more stairs, thats right, it means street level access, which in turn means it is accessible to everyone!

I promise to try not to let time slip by like it has and to keep you more informed. If you haven't done so already, search us on Facebook and "like" our page to stay up to date with current happenings!

Back at it!

Wow, I can't believe a year has passed! I am back from maternity leave and time is still flying by!

A huge thank you to Maxine who kept things moving right along while I was away!

As I am catching up on what I have missed, it looks like 2011 was a very busy year!

Stay tuned for more information on things happening in 2012!
