PARCS UPDATE #193 - A FURTHER LOOK AT THE CONVENTION PROGRAM

PARCS UPDATE #193: July 29, 2022

A FURTHER LOOK AT THE CONVENTION PROGRAM

On July 26, Update # 192 offered you a preview of 4 session of the Members Fair at Convention. Today we offer FOUR MORE PREVIEWS of other sessions.

The Resort Village of Turtle View on Turtle Lake became Saskatchewan's 41st resort village on January 1, 2020, when an interim mayor and council assumed office. Their residents went on to elect a regular mayor and council during the regular elections that summer. They have been very busy during these first two years of operation and will have much to share about both their challenges and their achievements.

Three council members will be on hand from the RV of Turtle View to share their story.

We also look to the future with a session from an OH striving to be the next RV established in Saskatchewan

The chair of the board of the OH of Pasqua Lake reports that all of their requisite paperwork for becoming a resort village has been submitted to the Ministry of Government Relations - for many months now. He claims that their assessment will make them one of the most highly assessed resort villages, and as such, it is only appropriate that they become self-governing.

Larry Bedel, chair of the OH of Pasqua Lake Board will tell their story.

Working together to foster recreation - a long time tradition in this resort village

Back in 2010, the RV of Coteau Beach was proud to tell the convention attendees about installing a new roof on their community club, building a playground, and hosting a Canada Day Celebration. In 2022, their RV has continued to grow their recreation by building a golf course, applying for a grant for 24 trees to plant on that golf course, and hosting multiple community events. As their community continues to grow, their shared recreation holds them together!

Edie Thompson, member of both the RV Council and the PARCS Board of Directors, will share this story.

Revitalizing their Boat Launch

The RV of Island View set out last year to make significant changes to their boat launch. They worked on the boat launch concrete pads, their connections, and their length extending into the water. The project took a solid month of dedicated work. The result is better access into Last Mountain Lake and a safer environment for launching.

Mayor, Ray Olson, and Administrator, Pamela Holliday, will be on hand to tell you all about about this project,
