I Love to Read Month

February means “I Love to Read Month”, an entire month dedicated to promoting a love of reading and being read to. This idea started many years ago and has been gaining popularity among schools and libraries. Dawson Trail MLA Bob Lagassé and Fire Chief John Desrochers took time out to read to the students at Ste. Anne Elementary school.

Team Lagassé Has a New Home The new constituency office for MLA of Dawson Trail, Bob Lagassé is now located here in town at Unit 8B – 555 Traverse Road. As a result of the boundary changes that took place last provincial election, St. Adolphe, where the former constituency office was, is no longer a part of the Dawson Trail constituency. “Beginning the new year in a new office feels appropriate.

Both the new year and our new office bring a renewed sense of perspective as I continue working hard for my constituents,” said Lagasse. “To celebrate the opening of our new office space we held an open house at the end of January. Thank you for the warm welcome to the community... trademark friendly Manitoba.”

Ste. Anne Rec Director Part of Rescue Fundraiser This summer, the Ste. Anne Rec Director will be one of six individuals deliberately stranded on a remote island with nothing but her cell phone.

On June 11, Sarah Normandeau, who is also a RM of Ste. Anne Councillor, along with a handful of other individuals will be dropped off on an island somewhere in Manitoba as part of a unique fundraiser called Rescue on the Island for the STARS rescue team. The goal of the event is significant funds for the organization before they can be rescued.

STARS is a charitable organization that cares for and transports critically ill and injured patients, Lemay added. STARS currently average 6 missions per day across western Canada.

Each member of the group fundraising is challenged to raise $100,000 by collecting pledges through phone calls from the island to family and friends.

When the group is not trying to raise funds to get off the island, they will be kept busy with various challenges including shelter building and medical challenges including CPR. Money raised from the event will go towards building a hanger for the province’s STARS helicopter.

Once it is set up, the public can contribute to the fundraiser by visiting Normandeau’s page rescueontheisland.ca.
