Welcome to 2010!

Wow, we are now into 2010 and what is promising to be another busy year in our community!

First off I would like to take a moment to reflect on a couple of the exciting moments and highlights of 2009. We had the building a number of commercial buildings including shops by Southline Inspections, JP Plumbing & Heating and Bill Smith Construction. We also had the completion of services to 6th Street West which means an addition of 12 residential lots. Phase 1 of the Carnduff Swimming Pool Project was completed meaning an addition of the fantastic toddler pool. We hosted a number of events including a couple of Provincial Ball Tournaments, True Grit Team Roping and a well attended Street Dance. CTV Broadcast Live the News at 6 from our Memorial Park in September as part of their Home Town Tour! We also had a number of businesses celebrate big anniversaries. Unfortunately North American Lumber experienced a bump in the road with a fire that devastated parts of the building, but on the positive side, they are in the process of rebuilding those areas. Those are just a few of the highlights from the past year that come to mind when thinking about 2009!

Onto 2010....what will it bring?
The Town of Carnduff & R.M. of Mount Pleasant have signed the contract for a new Health Clinic that will be located at Borderline Housing. Doors are to open in 2010! Following the opening of the Health Clinic, there will once again be dental services offered to our community under the direction of Dr. Cameron Croll. Fundraising continues for the construction of Phase 2 of the Swimming Pool which will include the reconstruction of the main pool.
An upgrade to the water treatment plant is also in the works for this year.
There are also a number of annual events that will once again take place this year including:
Carnduff & District Music & Arts Festival - March 8-11
Carnduff & District Music & Arts Festival Highlights Concert - March 15
Country Classic Craft show - April 24
Annual July 1st Celebration - July 1
True Grit Team Roping & Barrel Racing - September 18-20
Country Christmas KickOff - November 18th
I am confident there will also be a number of other highlights as we move through 2010!

Wishing all of you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2010!
