New School Zone Speed Limit In September of 2013 The Manitoba government gave the green light to municipalities to reduce speed limits around school zones.

Each municipality has the power to decide how low to set speeds around schools and on which streets.

The province proclaimed the school zone legislation in September, meaning speed limits on residential streets can be reduced to 30 km/h.

The new regulations will permit local governments to establish lower speeds in school zones to ensure greater safety for children in their communities.

Local governments, such as municipalities, local government districts, First Nations and community councils, now have the ability to: - Set maximum speeds as low as 30 km/h in school zones where the regularly posted speed is less than 80 km/h.

- Set maximum speeds as low as 50 km/h in school zones where the regularly posted speed is 80 km/h or above.

- Designate specific dates and hours when reduced speed limits are in effect or set the limits to be in effect at all times.

Reduced-speed school zones are limited to streets and highways that

are close to the school property. The designated zone must be within 150 metres of the boundary of that property, according to the province.

Any local government that wishes to reduce the speed limit in its school zones must pass a bylaw lists all schools that will have reduced-speed zones; indicates what roads and what portions will have the reduced speed; describes the reduced maximum speed and hours the speed limit is in effect.

On October 22 the Town of Ste. Anne passed a By-Law as follows...

A Little Laugh...

Pastor Tony is walking down the street on Christmas eve when he notices Larry, a small boy, trying to press the doorbell of a house across the street. However, Larry is very small and the doorbell is too high for him to reach. After watching the boy's efforts for some time, Pastor Tony moves closer to Larry's position.

He steps smartly across the street, walks up behind the little fellow and, placing his hand kindly on the child's shoulder, leans over and gives the doorbell a solid ring.

Crouching down to Larry's level, Pastor Tony smiles benevolently and asks, 'And now what, my little man?'

To which Larry replies with a beaming grin, 'Now we run!'

My son was about two-anda-half when we went to see Santa at the mall. We waited in line, he finally went up, crawled on Santa’s lap, and very loudly said to me, "Mommy, Santa is creepy!”

Did You Know? ...Rudolph Was Canadian!

If you were born in Canada after 1964, your Christmas probably involved an annual viewing of the ‘animagic’ holiday special, ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.’

Rankin-Bass, an American production company, created this beloved Christmas program, but did you know that there’s a secret Canadian connection?

All the characters’ voices (with the exception of Sam the Snowman) were performed by Canadian actors, singers and voiceover artists at the RCA Victor Studios in Toronto.
