Where else can you get a delicious, all you can drink, Coffee and Tea for a dollar and a half?? ($1.50)
We have had many nice comments from the community on the new exterior of the Adams Centre. It is still a work in progress with some finishing to do yet. We are proud of our "New Look".
Mark your calendar for "Seniors Week" from Monday, Sept 30 to Sunday, October 6.

Our Seniors will be at the Community Welcome BBQ on August 7 at Kenaston Place, to welcome new village members. Come out and meet and greet everyone! A big bouquet and thank you to our Student Community Caretaker for a job well done on keeping our Village neat and tidy. We appreciate it very much and notice it too.

Have a question for the Village Council? If village residents have any village concerns, questions or issues, they are reminded to contact the village office so these items can be address to council at council meetings as opposed to addressing the concerns, questions and issues to one specific council member. All items addressed to the office are forwarded to the council to discuss as a whole at the village meetings.
Village News: Garbage Disposal Village and RM: It seems some residents are still unfamiliar with the disposal regulations in the Village. The Kenaston website (under the “Council tab”) has a full list of do’s and don’ts so all residents are asked to become familiar with these lists. The Blue Bin behind the Coop is for recyclable material and is available for use at no charge for Village Residents, but RM residents must pay an annual fee of $25 for usage. The Red Loraas Bulk-Disposal Bins by the water treatment plant are charged at $5.00 per use, or $18.00 if you need to fill a bin. The Red Bin at the dump is $10.00 per use or $25.00 per truckload. Residents should bring their load to the Village office to be reviewed prior to receiving a key to the dump. These bins are for village taxpayers only. The Red Loraas Bins by the RM Facility are for RM taxpayers only. All other bins are privately rented and if you leave your garbage in or beside them then the renter or the Village incurs the cost for proper disposal. Misuse cannot be tolerated so we ask for your cooperation.
Thank-You: Thank you to Tim and Logan Holder for changing the flag at the Snowman Park. The 2 new flags were donated to the Village by Lynne Yelich, MP, and Greg Brkich, MLA.
The Walking Trail and Veteran’s Park cleanup this year took place on June 16th. Those who participated included Susan Anholt, Theresa Owen, Crystal and Shannyn Zdunich, and Glen Pavelich.
The Riverbend Co-op recently purchased the 4C's Corner Store from Les and Sonia Howells. The Co-op is set to take possession August 1st. The plan is to move the Lottery, Liquor and convenience business into the existing Co-op building. Staff are currently re-merchandising to allow these services the proper space allocation. Some study will need to take place by Board and Management in regards to the best use for the 4C's building in the community in the next few months. Hours of operation will also be reviewed. However, sales dictate the hours of operation, and the Co-op is committed to operating a profitable service for all members. The more sales increase, the greater need for operating hours. This purchase, we expect, will strengthen the Kenaston Branch financially and provide the community with a consistent product selection and service well into the future. Our thanks in advance for your patience during this time of change.
Kenaston Rural Fire District is in need of additional volunteers.
At the present time there is a need for additional daytime members to maintain sufficient firefighting capabilities. We can use both male and female fire fighters. In addition to fire fighting operation, the department also serves as the landing team for the STARS Air Ambulance and as a rescue team at motor vehicle collisions within the district. The level of involvement as a volunteer is up to each fire department member. Some members choose to respond only to fires and others respond to fires as well as rescue incidents. The department meets each Tuesday night at 7:30 p.m. at the Fire Hall. To join with the Fire Department, come to one of the meetings or contact one of the officers. For further information contact: District Chief Jeff Austman 306-252-2934; Deputy Chief Ken Remmen
306-252-2767; Captain Gene Whitehead 306-252-2245
