Lively election race for Unity town council

Unity News

We have been blessed with plenty of nice fall weather days and we are hopeful they can continue as forecasted by the Weather Network.

Congratulations Annie Riess of Unity who had a short story published in the latest Chicken Soup Series.

Moose, and other wildlife, are on the move. Take extra caution navigating roadways especially at dusk, dawn and evenings as they can be difficult to see and costly to collide with.

Next week, we will be voting in the Saskatchewan provincial election. Candidate profiles were included in the local paper and now the onus is on voters to exercise their democratic right and vote.

Municipal elections are coming up Nov. 9. In Unity there are seven candidates for council and two for mayor. Make sure you know the protocols or options to vote in this year’s civic election and make sure, as well, that you vote.

Organizations that often rely on volunteers are working hard to keep some sense of normal for rink activities this season. Hockey, curling and the skating club are all back on the ice. Please be kind to coaches and executives of these programs as this new normal has not been an easy process for anyone. It’s through their commitment that these programs are allowed to proceed in these pandemic times. Remember to know before you go as far as guidelines pertaining to participation or attending the rink this season.

Lots of homes are brightening up neighbourhoods in town with Halloween decorations. Remember as you prepare for Halloween, to observe the guidelines of the “new normal.” Please check the Saskatchewan government website under reopening for information on protocols.

Here’s hoping this finds you all safe, healthy and socially distanced. Until next week ...
