James Munro passed away in Calgary, Alberta on June 23, 2021 at the age of
66, after a 2 year battle with cancer. Jim was the second son of George and Olga
Munro and was born at Nokomis Hospital during a blizzard, on March 8, 1955.
He grew up in the village of Tate, Saskatchewan, located 8 miles southeast of Nokomis.
The family’s farmland was located 2 miles north of Tate. Two additional
brothers and one sister were also born during the family’s residence at Tate. The
2 classroom brick school in the village held its last classes during the June before
Jim commenced school and was then permanently closed, so from Grade 1 (1961)
to Grade 8 (1969) he rode the bus to Semans to attend school.
Living in this small community was a much different lifestyle back then. There
were no water, sewer, or natural gas systems, no pavement, houses had no central
heating, only 3 households had a party line telephone, people kept horses, livestock
and poultry within the village limits or in their yards, coyotes still howled
just outside the village at night, on a good day you might get 1 fuzzy television
channel and the few radio stations seemed to all fade out at night. People invented
their own entertainment and there never seemed to be a shortage of things to
do. The Cunningham family next door had 9 children, so on a moment’s notice it
was easy to put together an impromptu sporting event in any season, be it baseball,
soccer, football, hockey, or some entirely new game invented on the spot.
At the start of several winters, water was hand pumped from the village well
across the street from the Munro home, and the young hands of a bucket brigade
carried it over to flood the street in front of the Munro residence to form a hockey
rink that would last until spring. Any time that school was not in session or dinner
was not on the table, during all kinds of weather, there would almost always
be someone on the ice, from 2 lads passing a puck back and forth, to the ice being
crowded with every kid in the village of all ages and from nearby farms; some on
skates, some in shoes, and some in rubber overshoes. Sometimes adults fetching
water from the village well would grab a hockey stick and join in the action. Aside
from sports there was always some activity for every season from building and
navigating wooden rafts on a large slough in the spring; drowning, trapping and
shooting gophers; constructing snow forts; digging elaborate tunnels and secret
rooms into snowbanks; tobogganing; biking; building projects; tinkering with
motors; and listening to stories and absorbing information from the colourful
cast of characters that resided in Tate. Jimmy learned to read before starting formal
schooling and developed into an avid reader; a habit that continued throughout
his life. On cold winter nights he would often pull up a chair in the kitchen,
prop open the oven door of the coal/wood cast iron stove, take off his shoes and
park his socks on the oven door while reading.
During the summer of 1969, the Munro family made the move from Tate to
Nokomis. Jimmy attended Nokomis High School, starting in the fall of 1969,
and graduated in 1973. It was at Nokomis that Jimmy picked up the nickname of
“Cricket” that he was always known by whenever he was back in the old hometown.
In the fall of 1973, Jimmy and classmate Bill Kerr headed west to Calgary and
enrolled in the Petroleum Technology program at the Southern Alberta Institute
of Technology (SAIT) and graduated with a diploma in 1975. Calgary was to remain
his home and employment base from that time onwards. After graduating,
his first full time employment was with Ashland Oil Canada Limited, which was
acquired by Kaiser Resources in 1979. Shortly after that, the oil and gas operations
of Kaiser were acquired by high flying Dome Petroleum. Dome flew a bit too
high, got their wings singed, and tumbled back to earth. Jimmy decided to move
on to Atcor Resources, taking on the position of Production Manger. Atcor was
acquired by Forest Oil & Gas in 1996. After some years, Jimmy moved on again
and set up his own consulting company and continued to work for several oil &
gas producers on a full-time basis right up to 2019 when he was diagnosed with
cancer. The timing of starting a career in the petroleum industry was fortuitous
since world oil prices had started to take a dramatic rise in 1973 and the Canadian
oilpatch greatly expanded and developed new technologies to significantly
increase the country’s oil & gas production and exports, and to make the industry
an economic powerhouse for the entire country. There were many changes
during Jimmy’s four and a half decades in the oilpatch such as deregulation of
energy prices and the move to market determined pricing, the disastrous National
Energy Program, development of the oil sands, discoveries of new fields and
productive reservoirs, horizontal drilling, new fracing techniques and there were
always new challenges such as governments blocking new pipeline construction
and the imposition of carbon taxes. Through booms and busts, the City of Calgary
changed and grew with the population more than tripling since the mid 70s
and the downtown core of high-rise office towers is now unrecognizable from
OBITUARY
James George Munro
March 8, 1955 - June 23, 2021
what it was at the start of his
working career.
In 1994 Jimmy married Valerie
Hitchner and they started off in a
new home in the MacEwan area
of NW Calgary. A few years later,
they built their dream home in
the Hidden Valley neighbourhood
of NW Calgary. This home
has an unobstructed southern
view across Hidden Valley Lake
with Nose Hill Park rising up in
the background. Over the years
he must have walked the circuit
around the lake thousands of
times and knew all the trails and ravines in Nose Hill Park very well from many
long walks in the park with their 2 much prized Sheltie dogs. The yard and
basement of this home were undeveloped and a clean slate when they moved in
and over the years the yard was filed in with lawns, rock and brick work, various
shrubs, hedges, fruit trees, flower beds and a prolific vegetable garden. The basement
of the house was developed and finished off with his own labour.
Growing up, a major trip requiring much planning would have been a few days
spent at the annual Regina Exhibition. The move to Calgary to attend SAIT had
been Jimmy’s furthest excursion from home up to that point by a wide margin.
Shortly after starting work, Jimmy did some research to find relatives in the
highlands of Scotland, from where his father George had emigrated as a young
man, and who had an extensive family of 8 brothers and sisters and each of their
extended families living in the old country. Jimmy flew across to Scotland and
met up with many of the members of the Munro clan. He would return to Scotland
in 1994 with his new wife and later on in 2004 with all 3 of his brothers. After
the initial foray out of the prairies, he was taken with the travel bug and made
regular trips to many parts of the globe. Included among these were a couple of
trips to the Grey Cup festivities, 2 trips to the Mardi Gras in New Orleans and 3
trips to the Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany. Local beer sales increased during
each of these visits. Throughout his long time residence in Calgary, Jimmy returned
to Nokomis on a regular basis to visit with his family and many friends in
the area. Local beer sales also increased during these visits.
Some of Jimmy’s leisure time pursuits were carried over from his upbringing,
such as reading, music, gardening and following CFL football (Riders of course).
Additional pastimes were acquired over the years such as curling, skiing, traveling,
renovating, becoming a Mason, fine dining and gatherings with friends
and family. He eventually became quite an accomplished cook, and the freezer of
their home was always filled with enough home cooked meals and desserts to last
through even the longest siege. Jimmy was always keenly interested in history
and for several years scoured the archives and gleaned information from people
from his home turf in Saskatchewan and in 2006 he wrote and had a book privately
printed; named “PRAIRIE to PRAIRE, The Village of Tate, 1906 – 1970”.
It details the history of the village of Tate from its emergence from unbroken
prairie, to developing into a thriving village servicing the surrounding agricultural
community, and then its decline back to prairie again.
Jim was predeceased by his father George, mother Olga, and sister Sherry.
Left to mourn are Jim’s wife of 27 years, Valerie of Calgary; brother Richard and
his wife Ruth of Nokomis Sask., brother Donald of Calgary, brother Howard of
Calgary, 14 Canadian cousins and their extended families, numerous cousins and
their families from all over Scotland, as well as many in-laws, friends, neighbours
and colleagues.
The family wishes to thank the doctors and all of the staff at the Tom Baker
Cancer Centre in Calgary for their care given to Jimmy during the past 2 years
and for the excellent 24 hour compassionate care provided by all of the dedicated
staff at the Rosedale Hospice in Calgary, where Jimmy spent the last 2 months of
his life.
Final funeral and interment arrangements are still in progress at this time.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the
Rosedale Hospice in Calgary.
“Few hearts like his, with virtue warm’d, Few heads with
knowledge so inform’d. If there’s another world, he lives in bliss;
If there is none, he made the best of this.” - Robert Burns

Notice of Passing of my
brother Lloyd Kresier
Rev. Floyd Kresier passed away on June 6, 2021, at
Leduc, AB.
Lloyd was born on April 30, 1932, at home on the farm in the Killarney
district east of Nokomis. When he was 12, the family moved to the Tate district,
where Lloyd attended public school. He loved farming and was a big
help to Dad. With his best friend, Willard Beeler, he spent much of his spare
time hunting and fishing. Guns were one of his passions, and he was an excellent
shot. While still a teenager, Lloyd worked on the C.N. track. Later he
and Willard would work in Trail, B.C., at the mines. Floyd also loved music
and would spend countless hours with his talented friend Reuben Proseilo.
I recall one very bad winter - deep snows and frigid temperatures. When he
and Reuben caught the train from Nokomis to Tate, along with their instruments,
they virtually dragged them over the snowy fields from Tate to our
farm, a distance of one mile. Nothing stopped these musicians!
But Lloyd had a greater love and passion, which was in the spiritual
realm. This he learned from Church where he listened to the teachings of
Rev. Oscar Fritzki at Nokomis Baptist Church.
In 1957 he packed up his car and went off to Seminary in Edmonton for
three years. In the summer, he drove for Greyhound to help pay his expenses.
While at college, he met the love of his life, Esther Loewen, from
Coaldale, AB., a student at U of A. They were married shortly after graduating
from Seminary. They were blessed with two children, a son Kent and a
daughter, Carla.
At the time of Lloyd’s passing, he and Esther were married almost 60
years and served churches in the Leduc and Edmonton area for over 58
years. Lloyd loved going to the Holy land and made 23 trips there with
many friends, family and church members. He has officiated over many
weddings and funerals in our family alone, plus many in 58 years of preaching.
Lloyd leaves to mourn his loving wife, Esther, daughter Carla (Blain)
Plester, daughter-in-law Denene Kresier, grand daughter Alana and Courtenay
(Andrew), sisters Gayle and Ella, and brother Dennis, a host of nieces
and nephews, and a multitude of friends and acquaintances. He was predeceased
by his son, Kent.
I would like to share a huge memory from the time when I was five years
old. Lloyd and I were coming home from Nokomis on our little V.A. Case
tractor. It was a very dusty day, and the wind was just wild. Visibility
was almost nil. I was scared and started to cry. Lloyd put me on his knee,
covered me with his jacket, told me to keep my eyes shut and then put one
big arm around and held me close. The last 8 miles finally ended, and we
were safe at home. “Well, big brother, you’ve weathered life’s storms and are
now safely in the arms of your loving Savior.” Well done, good and faithful
servant; enter into the Joys of your Lord.

Do they have a Clue on what they are doing or are they just the enemy of the
farm community?
It boggles my mind when I think about how little our RM council knows about
farming, the right to farm, the acts and regulations that apply to the operation
of the RM and in many cases even their own bylaws.
Just recently I have learned that the RM is requiring building permits for residential
building or additions on there farm residences and incur all of the costs
associated with that which including: the building permit process, the inspection
costs, professional engineering costs for foundations to name a few.
Well folks the RM does not have any legal authority to do that, and that is
clearly stated in the The Uniform Building and Accessibility Standards Act of
Saskatchewan (the UBAS Act), or just simply the Building Code. It is real simple
all farm structures which include the farm home are exempt from the Building
Code.
Now it has come to my attention a resident, ratepayer and farmer in the RM
intends to put an addition on to their home and applied for and was granted a

Home Plan of the Week
Heartview melds indoor & outdoor living
The Heartview’s window-bright
interior segues nearly seamlessly
into its wrap-around outside living
area at the rear. And the exterior
materials ensure an organic blending
with the natural environment as
well. In the right setting, every window
can offer spectacular views.
Stone veneer-covered bases
support slender posts that frame
the front porch and garage overhang.
These run a harmonious
counterpoint to the shake-textured
siding, wooden corbels,
and Craftsman-style
windows on all sides.
The use of natural
materials extends
throughout. Examples
include handsome exposed
drop beams in
the great room and
owners’ suite, and
wooden posts set on
tapered stone veneer
bases that
flank the entry
hall.

Drop beams create an interesting

Public notice is hereby given that the Council of the Town of Regina Beach
intends to adopt a bylaw under The Planning and Development Act, 2007 to
amend Bylaw No. 11/2005, known as the Zoning Bylaw
INTENT AND AFFECTED LAND
The proposed bylaw will change the minimum lot size requirement in the R1-

It is rather disquieting to think students in school in a small city on
the Canadian Prairies are increasingly unaware of where their food
actually comes from – the farm.
AG NOTES
CALVIN DANIELS
I suppose it is difficult to
understand since I grew up
on a farm fully. It was a farm
originally homesteaded by
my grandfather, so while
today I write about it rather
than do it, agriculture is
very much in my blood, I
suppose.
Growing up on a farm
through the 1960s meant a
mixed farm. We had chickens
and pigs and a huge garden, so my
connection to the food on my plate was rather
direct. It was the norm to butcher a pig in the fall
and eat pork chops for supper that night. Or to
watch dad chop the heads off the chickens, and
watch mom dip the dead bird in boiling water to
facilitate plucking the weathers – a smell that is
definitely interesting, to say the least – and then
have roast chicken for supper.
And I was shelling peas and helping pick saskatoons
and seeing those on the plate too. I was, of
course, aware not everyone lived on a farm. My
best friend back in those days was the son of a local
lawyer, and I am pretty sure he never cleaned
a pigpen. But, I recall he did work a summer job
with a local honey producer, again connected to
one’s food.
In those days, most homes in town – one of
around 2300 – had a backyard garden. We are
not talking a few tomatoes for a few sandwiches,
but instead, full-blown gardens designed to fill a
deep freeze for winter food.
While I might like to forget – but that was a
half-century ago – and over 50 years’ things
can change a lot. We live in a decidedly different
world on almost every level of our lives today
from one of the 1960s and 70s. That includes how
we relate to food.
With fewer farmers, there are simply fewer
family connections to farms. More and more people
live in urban settings and never get closer to
a farm than driving by a field of wheat or canola
along the highway, and maybe not even recognize
which was which.
So the Breakfast on the Farm program
launched at four city schools is a good idea as
a way to at least build a small connection for
young students back to the farm. The program
was through Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan,
which works to connect people with food and the
farms where the food originates.
Today many might think food comes from a
supermarket or restaurant, but the eggs in a
breakfast sandwich, the bacon, the cheese, the
flour in the bun all come from a farm, and that
is something we shouldn’t – as a society – lose
track of.

PUBLIC NOTICE
Public notice is hereby given that the Council of the Village of Bulyea intends to
adopt a bylaw under The Planning and Development Act, 2007 to amend Bylaw
No. #12/15, known as the Zoning Bylaw.
INTENT
The Zoning District Map referred to in section 6.2 is amended by rezoning Lots
6-10, Block 3, Plan E2775 from C1 – Village Centre Commercial District to R1 –
Residential District.
AFFECTED LAND
The affected land is legally described as Lots 6-10, Block 3, Plan E2775, as
shown in the attached lines on the following map:
RM of McKillop Council Disagrees
with SK Chief Building Official
RM of McKillop area farmers describe being “absolutely shocked”
after they decided to build a small addition which they described as a
sunroom, onto their farm residence.
The RM refuses to acknowledge that Leandra and Gerry Cameron’s farm residence’s addition is
exempt under the Uniform Building and Accessibility Standards Act (UBAS) upheld by the RM’s own
by-law.
Through the RM’s building permit process, the RM is requiring the Camerons to get costly engineered
drawings, energy efficiency compliance forms and a detailed site plan for the addition.
Leandra Cameron questioned the RM’s Development Officer, Liana Campbell, about the requirement,
who responded, “Your addition is not farm related. It is an addition to an existing home. The addition
is not exempt.”
In communication with the Camerons, Chief Building Official for the Government of Saskatchewan’s
Building and Technical Standards Branch Marvin Meickel made it clear that her project was, in
fact, exempt; “As your dwelling unit is exempt as a farm building, so would any alterations, renovations
or additions made to the structure. In other words, increasing the building area of the dwelling
unit does not affect the exemption. It would still be applicable. Therefore, there will [be] no need to
obtain a building permit for the addition.”
continues on page 7
REASON
To accommodate future residential development.
PUBLIC INSPECTION
Any person may inspect the bylaw at the municipal office at 121 Ashley Street
on Tuesdays 9 am – 3 pm and Thursdays 9 am – 12 pm. Copies are available
at cost.
PUBLIC HEARING
Council will hold a public hearing on July 14, 2021 at 7:00 at the Bulyea
Hall located at 204 Ashley Street, to hear any person or group that wants to
comment on the proposed bylaw. Council will also consider written comments
received at the hearing or delivered to the undersigned at the municipal office
before the hearing.

The council for RM of McKillop discussed the matter at their June 22nd meeting where the RM’s
CAO Brandi Morissette said there had been correspondence between the RM and the Ministry of
Government Relations; however, still refusing to acknowledge the exemption saying “it comes down
interpretation and what the RM is allowed to do in relation to that legislation and the RM feels
that AG buildings should have building permits submitted and that’s the direction the RM will go.”
Morissette recommended that council uphold and enforce the building permit requirements for the
Camerons. She further advised the council that all the RM had to do was “word-smith” their by-laws
to require permits to include farm-related buildings under the UBAS Act.
Councillor Garry Dixon made the motion that this “particular project” will require a building permit,
saying “for no other reason than for the energy efficiency code.” There was no discussion among
council before voting unanimously to pass the motion. The only agricultural Council member, Bill
McKenzie, did not respond when asked for comment.
McKillop’s mostly beach council seems constantly at odds with area farmers. In a recent Council
meeting, Reeve Bob Schmidt said he felt that the RM’s farmers should also be required to take out
permits when clearing bush from their ag land. The RM has also been on the lookout for AG buildings
operating non-ag-related businesses to require them to bring the buildings up to commercial code
and reassessment.
Jonathan Tremblay, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Government Relations, said that the Ministry’s
position is that “Farm buildings, including houses on farms are exempt from the application of
construction standards.” RM’s can’t circumvent an ACT by word-smithing their by-laws, BUT he said
that “Municipalities can make building by-laws that require standards higher than those required by
UBAS and the National Building Code.” The Ministry also said that building by-laws require Ministerial
approval after the municipality passes them. There are no provisions in UBAS for them to be
applied retroactively. This means that the Camerons should be clear to proceed without their building
permit for their addition.
When we asked the RM how many permits on AG buildings and residences the RM has required
since January of 2019, the RM requested a fee for the information. We paid the 15$, and they told us
that since 2019 there had been zero permits for AG buildings and AG residences. We checked in with
neighbouring RM’s to see what they are doing. The RM of Longlaketon requires building permits for
all buildings. The permits have fees based on the value of construction; however, there are no engineering
requirements that go along with the permit for ag buildings because they are exempt under
the legislation. They are also not required to be inspected.
The RM of Last Mountain Valley does not require building permits for AG buildings, including residences,
as they are exempt under legislation.
The RM of Mount Hope only requires development permits in the RM as they do not have a building
by-law. Therefore, there are no fees required for the development permits.
The RM of Lumsden recognizes the farm building exemption
under UBAS however have written into their by-laws
the requirement for building permits for AG residences.
When asked for comment, the Camerons said, “We were
absolutely astounded that the RM is unwilling to accept
the Government of Saskatchewan’s, Chief Building Officials
clarification...The RM is not following their own Building
Bylaw and appears to have their own interpretation of the
UBAS Act contrary to what Government Officials are communicating
to them.”
While some farmers like the Camerons may be exempt
now from construction standards on their homes, on
January 1st, 2022, changes are coming with the proclamation
of the Construction Codes Act that will replace UBAS.
Tremblay said that a new definition for farm buildings was
developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture.
As a result, farmhouses will no longer be exempt from the
application of the construction standards.
Leandra Cameron said she has spoken to an area farmer
who added a garage onto his existing home and wasn’t
required to take out a building permit. The Camerons are
considering their next steps as they question why they are
being treated differently.

development permit, which is legitimately required, was then told they
needed a building permit. This resident objected and pointed out farm
structures are exempt under the building code. Well when brought to
councils attention, which, by the way, has once again angered council
because some one has dared to question them or their decision. So
now council is doing their damndest to find a away to put it to the rate
payer including deciding that they have the authority to put their own
interpretation on what constitutes a farm structure and/or what kind
of addition considered related to farming activity.
The cold hard facts in this case is they have NOT been granted any
authority to unilaterally make any changes to the building code, in act
any bylaw associated with building code, anything that code regulates,
nor do they have the right to enforce an interpretation or create any
kind of definition that is contrary to that provided in the code or by
the Authority Having Jurisdiction which in this case is the Minister of
Government Relations or his/her designate which specific to this situation
is the Chief Building Official for the Province of Saskatchewan.
How do I know this? At one time I was a licensed building official for
the province of Saskatchewan.
So I am sure at some point in the near future this issue of requiring
building permits for farm structures as define by the building code will
end up on the Ministers desk and I predict that council will be told, in
no uncertain terms, to cease and desist this activity. Further, if in fact,
as stated by Reeve Schmidt that the RM has required building permits
for other farm related residential structures those people who took
out permits should be contacting the RM office to get a refund of their
permit costs as well as any other related costs such as engineering fees
to do things such as foundation designs.
To close, it is once again obvious that this council is in way over their
heads, that our Reeve makes up rules and misquotes acts regulations
and bylaws on a regular bases (more examples to follow in future letters
to the editor) but most disturbingly, it appears to me, this council
has decided to attack the farm community, the only real economic
driver in this RM, to placate their support base being primarily a
group of people that own properties along the lake.

Bring a Big Winch and
a Big Wallet
Looks like a good, solid beater, doesn’t it? It did to me, too, way back when. As long as I
never looked under anything, it was solid. Always assume the worst.
I watched an online auction go off today. All other web
browser tabs closed, logged in, eye on the clock.
I’ve heard that over the last year, things like old cars, old
CAMSHAFT
equipment, sleds, ATVs, etc. have all been going crazy high at
CORNER auction, but today I witnessed it. What I thought might be a
KELLY KIRK good, cheap driveway project turned out to be more desirable
than I ever would have imagined. It had the perfect combination
of flaws going for it, as well. Body filler cracking and
flaking? Check. Number of photos of the chassis and undercarriage?
Zero. Engine? Unknown big-block Chevy that ran
many years ago but wasn’t seized. Transmission? No clue, but
it had a Hurst T-handle and three pedals. Rusty Cragars with
weather-checked fat bias tires and faded yellow slapper bars
under the leaf springs? Of course. It was almost too glorious.
Big Holley, big headers, and the opportunity to use my el
cheapo winch for a second time this year. It was perfect. There was
absolutely no interior unless you count the fact that it had a pair of ratty and
incorrect bucket seats, but all exterior trim and bezels and what not appeared to
be there. The car was a 1955 Chevy two-door post, and having leisurely worked
on the Pontiac version of one off-and-on for the past decade, I had a working
knowledge of what to look for and thought a quick beater would be the perfect
companion that I could slap together in the driveway.
When I bought my Pontiac, it was a rusty, mouse-infested disgrace. Any
repairs or modifications that were done were done either poorly or incorrectly.
There was a 283 installed on home-made front mounts where the six once
sat, which was backed by the transmission that came from the same donor car
that the 283 did. The shifter and clutch linkages were all cut and brazed back
together, and the clutch looked like it was ready to explode. The front brakes
had no cylinders or shoes, and the wheel bearings were new but installed dry.
The rockers both had jack creases, and everything around them was mostly
rotted through. Also, the roof and trunk had been walked across numerous
times, likely used as scaffolding. There were fifteen-hundred bucks worth of
patch panels ordered, many of which had to be modified, as Chevy and Pontiac
parts interchange, but they’re not the same. As I type this, the car’s main body
is painted and just needs a good cut and polish to be right. The interior is done,
and in boxes ready to be installed. The engine is built, and the Ford diff is bolted
in. So, if I’m that close, why would I be shopping? Two reasons. First, beaters are
the best. The Pontiac started as a beater but was so far gone it required major
reconstructive surgery. By the time you spend several hundred hours on rust
and dent repair, you might as well make it shiny. Second, I always like keeping
my eye out for a deal. Throughout the auction, I kept re-evaluating how much I
was willing to pay for a car in that condition, which I already had a bookend to.
The sale price? Thirty-one thousand dollars, plus five-hundred bucks for fees
and taxes over and above. I don’t plan on being there at the finish line on my
Pontiac. I guess it’s fiscally responsible to finish it and utilize it as a shiny beater
instead. It’s got a big engine, small mufflers, and a posi. I only planned on two
pedals, but I still have the third one hanging there, just need to find the right
four-speed to make it worth using.

PUBLIC NOTICE
Public notice is hereby given that the Council of the Village of Bulyea intends to
adopt a bylaw under The Planning and Development Act, 2007 to amend Bylaw
No. #11/15, known as the Official Community Plan Bylaw.
INTENT
Appendix “A” – Village of Bulyea Future Land Use Map is amended by redesignating
Lots 6-10, Block 3, Plan E2775 from the land use designation of
Core Commercial to Residential.
AFFECTED LAND
The affected land is legally described as Lots 6-10, Block 3, Plan E2775, as
shown in the attached lines on the following map:
Minor but needed
MINISTERIAL MESSAGES
This evening I am attending a meeting in a neighbouring town. They are a part of what we call “the
Quad Parish.” We are making new arrangements for ministry. As a pastor serving in the area, I will
be helping out our neighbours at Quinton, Raymore, Govan and Duval.
Of course, this was discussed with my church councils in Strasbourg and Bulyea. When the matter
came up for discussion, I was grateful but not surprised at their response. They were excited, even
thrilled to be able to do something for the following churches up the road.
My role in this arrangement is minor but needed. I am a small part of the team. This is exciting for
me to participate in as well. My colleague Murray Patzwold is a person with skill and a great heart. He
has been doing this work for a while, and this is the next stage in a beautiful partnership.
In my eyes, this is a Gospel moment. It is a chance for Murray’s parish and mine to support one
another in love. The way they are doing this is beautiful. One of our Psalms says it well: “How good,
how beautiful it is when brothers (and sisters) live together in unity.” When we reach out to each other
in support and love, we are obeying the Great Commandment of Jesus, which is to love God and to
love each other.
So whenever you help a neighbour, you are obeying Christ. When you give to someone, you are
following him. When you do good to anyone in need, you are giving to Jesus. And when you put on a
mask or get a vaccination, you are serving the highest good any person can; loving those around you.
Keep loving. Jesus is with you!

What’s your budget?
ADS@LMTIMES.CA
We have received grants from Dominion Royal Canadian Legion, the Federal Government, the
Provincial Royal Canadian Legion, and the Provincial Government to help with operating expenses
as we can not have any fundraising activities. We received a grant from the Provincial Government to
do some much-needed work in the basement of our hall. We also received a grant from BHP potash to
assist with housing the Mobility Bus. With all the lockdowns, the bus has been used very little. These
grants have enabled Legions across the province to remain open to provide services and maintain
their buildings. We have received approval to spent some money from the Poppy Trust Fund to assist
in the purchase of a new ECG machine for the Nokomis Health Centre Lab.
In 2020 we were not able to have a Flag Day, but members placed flags in all the crosses of Veterans
at all cemeteries. Due to the Covid protocols, the 2020 Remembrance Day service was held with
ten members in attendance. It is important to honour and remember all our veterans who made the
ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Lest We Forget.
This year we were able to have Flag Day with only a few minor changes to comply with Public
Health Orders. Chaplain Rick Shott and Comrade Doug Sather lead the services. Comrades Kerry
Sather & Vance Halstead were Flag Bearers. We started out in Lockwood at 9:30 with a good turnout
of Lockwood people to help place flags. From there, we went to Govan, where there was again a good
turn out of Govanites to take part and place flags. A small group then went to St. Olaf’s Cemetery
to place flags. The final service at 2:30 pm started at Nokomis Cenotaph and then proceeded to the
cemetery. Comrade Laverne Sobus laid the Canada wreath, and Mayor David Mark laid a wreath for
the Town of Nokomis at the cenotaph. Comrade Doug Potter escorted each. It rained on and off all
day, just letting up during each service, it seemed. We are saddened to have lost 6 Legion members
since 2019. They are Comrades Jack Rody, Palmer Unseth, Joyce Hards, Robert McNichol, Barry
McClughan and Marv Gilbertson.
As people get vaccinated, and protocols are relaxed, we look forward to again welcoming the public
to our hall for social events.
