Merry Christmas from the RM office.

Merry Christmas, Seasons Greetings and Happy Holidays.

It’s been an eventful and strange year and everyone is looking for something to smile about. In past years, we’d see lots of folks stopping by the office to share some festive cheer, but this year we recognize it’s best to stay home and stay safe.

To help make you smile, we thought we would share our municipal office wreath as our way of wishing you a happy festive season and we want to challenge all of the other RM offices throughout the province to share their decorations and photos and help spread the cheer.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Fire Risk Warning – Be Prepared!

 

 

Hunting season is upon us!

Due to extremely dry conditions throughout the province, fire risk increases. Hunters are reminded to take extra precautions during hunting season:

Carry a fire extinguisher in your vehicle.
Talk to landowners before going on their land.
Avoid unnecessary vehicle idling.
Walk whenever possible.
Stay on existing trails.

Approximately 50 per cent of all wildfires are caused by people.

Keep your vehicle out of tall grass – stick to roads and trails. Mufflers and other parts can get hot enough to start a fire.
When setting up your camp, pick an area free of tall grass.
Seek landowner permission before accessing private lands, whether they are posted or not.
Be prepared, carry a fire extinguisher, shovel, or other tools.
