Economic Development Board

Here in the Rural Municipality of Whitewater we do have an Economic Development Board of which I am but one member. We call ourselves the Whitewater community economic development Board or for short WCEDO.

What have we been up to? A lot actually, here is a snap shot of what we have done.

Housing has been a top priority and there are maps and lots for sale in all three communities and all at reasonable prices. If you visit the RM web site, you can get a good idea of what is what. The website is whitewat@mts.net. We have had a great deal of interest in the lots and have had new people move into the area.  Imagine designing how your new lot will look, as it will be like a clean slate and a fresh palette for your own ideas of landscaping, of what you want your yard to look like. Lots are connected to water and sewer, in fact, you can choose where you want to have the lines put.

We were at the Brandon Home Show and it was a great way to let everyone know about what we have and is available to you should you choose to come to live here. It's something that we are planning to do again in the spring.

The group had a Food and Rural initiative and it was very successful and well attended. If you have a business idea you would like to pursue be sure to contact the RM of Whitewater for information and help.
The Farmers market did not have enough interest but please keep it in mind for next year and let one of us know if you are interested in joining.

We are looking for people to join our group and to help us plan for the future of the RM of Whitewater. It isn't out of bounds to see in the future of this RM joining forces with another RM, so let's pull together to prevent it. Investors are needed to help bring people into the area. We are looking into investing into a house to start the process of getting people to move here.

This communiy wants to get high speed internet and MTS is dragging it's feet in getting it to us. Lets all get on the band wagon (so to speak) and let MTS know that we want it in this area. It's all around us, why not here.

I need to go, it's almost time for me to go for my physio treatment for my legs, but I will be putting more on here soon, keep in touch.

Life can be full of crap

Like I said in my title, life can be full of crap. These past couple of months have been just that. It seemed like most of the times I was feeling down. I was told this was normal, well if that is normal, then what the world will I feel like when things righten themselves. 

I miss the old fart terribly, and yes I called Ron that at times when he was living, so I don't feel bad about calling him that now. I find that when I miss him the most is when I am driving the car. He was the worst back seat driver in all of Canada I think. He could take a competent driver and turn that driver into a sniveling sobbing idiot. There are those people out there that knew him and can attest to that fact.

The Elgin Lions had a successful Valentine dance last night, It was super and it was fun. Yup, I won a prize too and believe it or not, it was something I could really use.  We have a real fun club here in our little village and the members work hard and have fun at the same time.

I really am missing someone to chat with on here, I know you read me, but how about leaving a blog yourselves.
