Congratulations to our Prairie Central District communities who participated in SPRA’s Communities in Bloom program this year!

Camp Easter Seal,

Colonsay,

Craven,

Dalmeny, Davidson, Dundurn,

Fort Qu’Appelle, Humboldt, Langham, Manitou Beach, Outlook,

Pelican Pointe, Saskatchewan Beach,

Silton, and Watson.

Your participation is about so much more than flowers. It’s about people, places, and passion, the pride you have in your community, the people who make it special, and the care you put into creating places where everyone can feel at home.

“Growing Great Places Together”, the National CiB slogan, truly captures the essence of the program. It’s about working together, sharing ideas, building pride, and making our communities better places to live, work, visit, and grow.

We also know there are many other communities doing great things across the district. Let us know if you’d like to learn more about Communities in Bloom and how you can be part of the program next season.

Prairie Central’s Museum Wanderer Tour was a success once again!

We had such a great day touring the museums in Watrous, Lanigan, Nokomis, Govan and Strasbourg. A huge thank you to all of the museums for welcoming us and taking the time to provide guided tours and share the stories of their communities.

We also enjoyed a delicious lunch at Mama Bear’s Den in Strasbourg!

And of course, thank you to all of our Museum Wanderers who took the time to join us for the adventure. It was a great day of exploring, learning and connecting.

Stay tuned for next year’s Museum Wanderer adventure!
