Ste. Anne Lions Club Hosts Community Clean Up
A few dozen volunteers met in the park recently to kick off a town clean up. While everyone was being assigned an area to clean up, the Ste. Anne Lions Club provided coffee, donuts and home made goodies. “It is surprising how much can get done when everyone works together,” said Ross Roy, one of the participants. There was also a $50 gift card donated by the Old # 12 Restaurant awarded to the largest group registered. Organizers Deanna Marriott, Gin Gagnon and the Ste. Anne Lions Club would like to thank everyone who came out and spent their Saturday morning making the community a more beautiful space to live in.

Ste. Anne Setting Up Foodbank The Town of Ste. Anne will soon have a new food bank, thanks to the hard work of a number of concerned volunteers. On April 29, about one hundred people came to the Accueil Kateri Centre, which is located in the Knights of Columbus Hall to celebrate the upcoming opening of a new food bank in the community. Staffed with local volunteers, the facility is expected to address an unfortunate need in the community. Joanne Vielfaure-Romaniuk, Social Worker, Seine River School Division says the facility was named the Accueil Kateri Centre in honour of a young aboriginal woman who died in 1680 at 24 years old. “She was a person of faith who went through a lot of suffering during her short life, but who never lost hope for a better future. Kateri serves as an encouragement to those involved in establishing a food bank and as an inspiration to those who are suffering because of a lack of food,” Vielfaure-Romaniuk explained. Claudette Lavack will be donating her time as Coordinator of the new food bank, Vielfaure-Romaniuk added. A kickoff took place with the Ecole Ste. Anne School Band providing the entertainment and David Northcotte of Winnipeg Harvest congratulating the community for this local initiative. Donations in support of the new facility can be made at the Ville of Ste-Anne office. Charitable receipt will be provided. Construction still underway to the facility, but it is expected to be open for the first clients on June 24.
