Beautiful Winter Wonderland!
Late last night I was driving back into town from a meeting and couldn't help but notice the beauty of our park with the snow on the ground and the hoarfrost on the trees. I quickly ran home and grabbed my camera to snap a picture as I wanted to share it with you! It was absolutely beautiful and please note that the picture does not grasp the entire beauty!

Jack McFarlane - SUMA Honourary Membership Award
I had the pleasure of attending the SUMA (Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association) convention earlier this week. This was a vary valuable experience with some very informative information.
At the President's Banquet Tuesday Evening I had the privilege of attend and to honour former Mayor Jack McFarlane as he received an award under the Honourary Membership category. Awards are granted to elected officials throughout the province to recognize their long-term dedication to, and involvement in, their local communities. The recipients are unique individuals who demonstrate leadership in their communities and who strive for an improved quality of life. Their generous contributions of time and talent have strengthened their local governments.
Below is the insert honouring Jack:
The Town of Carnduff has been fortunate to have Jack involved in numerous capacities over the years. Born and raised in Carnduff, Jack has always been willing to contribute his time as a volunteer with community organizations, minor sports, boards and business groups.
Jack's civic responsibilities began in October 1988 with his election as councillor. In October 1997, feeling he had the time and passion that one needs to take that next step, Jack was elected as Mayor of Carnduff, a position he held until December 2008 when he made the decision to relinquish his mayoral duties.
Community progress and community pride have been and continue to be Jack's main objectives for the residents of Carnduff.
Jack has been very involved in economic development committees, joint-working committees with the RM of Mount Pleasant as well as the Regional Health Board. Jack has always been a vocal supporter of SUMA and in the SUMA Board's efforts to make a unified voice on behalf of all urban municipalities when dealing with carious issues at the provincial level.
Congratulations Jack!
