A Ste. Anne senior is one of several individuals across the province recognized by the Manitoba Council on Aging during an awards event acknowledging the hard work of seniors. On October 20, Guy Lévesque was honoured for his volunteer work in the areas of health, sports, education, heritage, financial services, public affairs, humanitarianism, culture, literacy, faith and charity. The former Southern Health Board Chair
and Town of Ste. Anne administrator said that the nomination was unexpected. “I was surprised because I did not know that my name was sent in,” said Lévesque. He later found out it was his colleagues at the Ste. Anne food bank, which he helped found, who nominated him for the award. “When I was CAO, you got involved in everything, but you don’t do it for awards; you do it to help and be part of your community,” Lévesque added.
Wood Sign Fundraiser Success

The community wood sign making night held at the Old No. 12 this past month was a hit. $260 of the proceeds was donated to the local food bank along with non-perishable food items brought by the participants.
