Rink Beautification Project
2012 is the International Year of the Cooperatives. To celebrate the year in Kenaston, Riverbend Co-op and Affinity Credit Union are donating paint to restore the Curling Rink building. As well, both organizations will be providing some of the volunteer labour for the project [thank you Affinity and Riverbend!].
The building was power washed on July 27 thanks to Ole Remmen, Lorne Anholt, Jordan Roberts, Florence Greke, Crystal Zdunich, Dale Firby, Melanie Kerpan,
Susan Anholt, Butch Millsap. Thanks to Joe Stacowich for providing the tractor.
The propose date for painting is August 10; with a back-up date of August 17 in case of poor weather or a second coat is needed. Please let Florence (252-2144) know if you can volunteer for either date.

The paving of 4th Street, from Central Avenue to Front Avenue and the parking lot at Kenaston Place, in the Village of Kenaston, was financed by a member of the Ouellette Family and dedicated to the memory of :
- J. Alphonse Ouellette, a long time Overseer and Councilor,
- Stanley A. Ouellette a long time Councilor and Fire Chief,
- and M. Josephine (Josie) Ouellette a life-long
community activist.
Highway 15 Intersection
Village Council has analyzed all three intersection options and has favored Option #4. Their rationale is posted on the Kenaston homepage (see maps and info linked from homepage www.kenaston.ca). We invite you to contact the consulting team (AMEC) that held the public highways meeting on June 6th, because without significant and compelling input from our community highways may go with the cheapest option. Option #4 (the preferred)
although the safest for the community is apparently the most expensive because of the access roads that are needed.
Walking Trail and Park Cleanup
On July 4th volunteers Bob Mason, Colleen Sekulich, Toni Tweet, Glen Pavelich and Susan Anholt did a timely and much needed cleanup of the walking trail.
Susan and Colleen also spent 2 hours trimming trees at Veteran’s Park.
