Community News Events & Activities
There was great excitement and gratitude on 1 July when the municipality hosted a significant title deed handover ceremony at the Leeu Gamka Community Hall. This warm occasion marked a milestone as legal ownership was officially transferred to beneficiaries — representing security, pride, and a better future for the community.

Executive Mayor Linda Jaquet warmly welcomed guests and emphasized the importance of title deeds in confirming ownership, protecting rights, and preventing disputes. The ceremony highlighted how these documents secure families, especially in rural and previously disadvantaged areas, and ensure that property can legally be transferred to heirs.

Ms. Sarah Kleinhans from the Prince Albert Magistrate’s Court presented a highly informative session on title deeds, followed by a question-and-answer opportunity. Officials were also on hand to assist with completing documentation. The atmosphere was cordial, and residents expressed their appreciation for the municipality’s leadership.

Immediately afterward, the monthly “Chat with the Mayor” took place, where residents could freely share their ideas, concerns, and suggestions with the mayor, municipal manager, councillors, officials, and representatives from various government departments. From infrastructure needs to innovative proposals, the open dialogue fostered a sense of unity.

These events underscore the municipality’s commitment to empowerment and transparency. As the community looks ahead, such initiatives promise continued progress.

Reading aloud day

24 January was International Education Day, and 5 February celebrated World Read Aloud day. Reading aloud to children is indeed one of the best things we can do for their development and future academic success. Children with a bigger vocabulary understand what they read better, and also learn new information more easily. Young children whose parents read to them five times daily will hear nearly 1.5 million more words by the time they turn five than children whose parents or caregivers don’t read to them, according to a study by The Ohio State University.
