SCHOOL SCOOPS
DUNDURN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
With the amazing weather of late it almost hasn’t felt like winter around here. The school has been a busy
place with lots of winter-type activities as well as many learning opportunities. February started with our
Diggers basketball team playing in South Corman Park to end their season. The players looked fantastic in
their new jerseys – great job Diggers!
February 8-12 was Staff Appreciation Week here at the school, and our SCC did a wonderful job of spoiling us.
On February 10th the SCC covered staff supervision for the day and provided a wonderful lunch and snacks for
everyone. On February 22nd our grade 4 and 5 classes travelled to the Sasktel Centre in Saskatoon for the
Team Up For Respect Game with the Blades taking on the Brandon Wheat Kings. It was a terrific game with
the Blades winning in overtime! Then on February 24th our grade 5 and 6 classes headed out to Table
Mountain for a day of skiing and snowboarding in the sun. All reports are it was an amazing day with many
students skiing and boarding for the very first time. Thank you to all parent volunteers who joined our staff
and students for this event. On February 25th our grade 3s enjoyed the Agriculture in the Classroom
presentations.
March will be another busy month with the following events and activities:

Grade 6s to We Day at the Sasktel Centre
4
Bucket Filler Assembly @ 9:05 am in the gym; SCC Hot Lunch

HANLEY COMPOSITE SCHOOL
I know as Saskatchewan people it would be strange not to talk about the weather – therefore, pretty strange
weather for February, eh? I’ve heard rumours about plus six temperatures at the end of the month – you
know what I’m going to say, right? Splash pants and rubber boots need to be packed for those recess breaks.
Grade Kindergarten to 6 report cards will be sent home on March 4th. Tri-Conferences will be held on March
16th & 17th from 5 pm til 7:30 pm each day – an opportunity for parents and students to meet with the
teachers to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of students. There will be no school on March 18th.
And Spring break is March 25th to April 1st – classes resume on April 4th.
Grades 9-12 ski trip is scheduled for March 11th at Table Mountain. Grades 7-8 ski trip is scheduled for March
23rd. It’s always a fun day for those students, and we look forward to having all the students attend.
The work on the balcony continues, and we’re looking forward to the new flooring surface being installed.
There have been some facelifts to a few areas near the server to accommodate some air exchanging units.
We’ve worked to create a permanent area dedicated to the fooseball tables and expect to be completed within
a month or so.
Junior basketball season has ended. Curling season is wrapping up soon with junior districts. Badminton
season will be ramping up soon, and our annual Black Knight “Knight to Remember” will take place on
March 17th. Deadline for Registration and $13 is March 2nd.
A final plug for the SCC Community Calendars that are available at the office for $10 each. There are still a
few that families ordered and haven’t picked up – we’ll assume next year that you’re not interested in ordering
one.
That’s all for now. For further information and updates from the students and classrooms, please check out
our school website at http://blogs.spiritsd.ca/hanley/. As always, Mr. Anderson and I would love to talk to
you if you have time to drop by the office or give us call. Take care and talk to you soon.

TOWN OF DUNDURN
ANNETTE HAMILTON
A Minute with the Deputy Mayor…
What a fantastic February we had!
Council will be working on budgets in
the next month. Not sure where the
budget dollars will be allocated, but it’s
all to make our community better as we
grow. More work on roads and public
works seems like a continuous up-keep.
As you may have noticed houses are starting to get built
in the Sunshine Meadows development,. These are
exciting times!!
A shout-out to all our volunteers that help with events
and functions throughout the year to make them
successful in our community. Without your help we
couldn't do it. We appreciate all that you do!
Come see the Town of Dundurn at Homestyles 2016 –
event is scheduled March 10th to 13th at the Prairieland
Park!

TREVOR REID
Report from the Reeve…
The RM of Dundurn
would like to welcome
Donna Gortzen as our
new administrator.
I
would also like to thank
Hazel Martens for her
hard work over the last few months while we
transition to a new administrator. Your efforts
and hard work have not gone un-noticed.
It has been another busy month.
The RM
continues to work with the gravel companies in
an effort to establish an aggressive plan to repair
the north grid.
I continue to meet with surrounding municipal
leaders to create partnerships for the future
growth of RM #314.
I have also met with the Dundurn Military
Detachment the other day to discuss and figure
out a solution for a cross road to the west side of
the RM. Talks were positive, and I feel we are
moving forward together to resolve this.
This March I have lots of meetings and the SARM
convention to attend. I look forward to updating
you in April. Have a great March, everyone.

Wilson Museum News
The month of February is almost complete and what a glorious winter month it has been to
date. All over the world there is "gloom & doom", yet many in the world had the opportunity to
celebrate Valentine’s Day. The Wilson Museum had the great opportunity to hold a "Kid's
WinterFest and Sleigh Rides" prior to Valentine’s Day.
It was a great sunny afternoon (although wind from the north was chilly) on Sunday, February
7th when the Wilson Museum had the good fortune to have Jay Olyniuk bring his two horses,
Dolly and Duke, and sleigh for everyone to enjoy an old fashioned sleigh ride around the field
east of the Museum. Inside, everyone had hot lemonade, hot chocolate and dainties after the
ride. There were small bingo games, games of chance and prizes. For instance, one of the
contests, an old fashioned time honoured contest of "Guess how many Jelly Beans" was won
by Lou Paqette (but he gave up his prize to Janet Mosser), was played with many others.
There were some contests outside like "Hit the Snowman" with a red snowball (won by Pat
Watson's grandson); "lob a knuckle bone" into the mini sled (won by Pat Watson). Lou and
Ray missed "lobbing the knuckle bone" into the mini sled by inches...and oh, heavens, Ray
being a retired infantryman should have "aced" this! Lou's excuse was old age! And the
"shuffle race" wasn't attempted by anyone, perhaps next year.
Everyone who attended had a great time and went home happy in time to watch the Super
Bowl Game. It was realized that this event needs to be more advertized in the future. And
speaking of the future, the Museum Board will be conducting a survey (see later in this issue)
of the people of Dundurn and surrounding area about re-introducing a winter festival to the
community. Please send us your comments.
A great big "Thank You" to the volunteers who worked so hard to present this fun event: Jay
and Wayne Olyniuk, Janet Mosser, Debi Mallough, Val Narraway, Patty Posnikoff, and the
funny fellow in the old fashioned red long johns with trap door in the rear. Further, "Thank
You" to the Museum Board and the Saskatchewan Branch of P.P.C.L.I. Association for their
contribution of prizes.
Wilson Museum Board members are all volunteers, and the reward for their contributions of
time and effort in maintaining the museum is the satisfaction of being able to present the
wonderful museum that the pioneers of Dundurn and area have established for the people of
the town and area.
For tours or information on the Museum, please call Ray Moskowec at 306-491-8651. Hours
of Operation: Victoria Day to Labour Day, Saturdays, Sundays & Holidays, 1:00 - 4:00 pm OR
by appointment.

Announcement
Town and RM of Dundurn EMO Coordinator
"SO,
IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE, EH?" was an old slogan from Emergency
Planning Canada after the famous Mississauga ON train derailment of chemicals
on November 10, 1979, that brought Canada's attention to emergency planning
for disasters in communities.
Federal and Provincial Governments passed laws that would focus municipal
governments to have Community Emergency Plans and Emergency Measures
coordinators to maintain those plans and therefore, the Town and RM of
Dundurn must follow these laws to protect their citizens.
Both municipalities would like to welcome Raymond
Moskowec, a resident of Dundurn, as our new volunteer
Emergency Measures coordinator who took on the duties as
of January 1, 2016.
Ray Moskowec is a semi-retired Canadian Forces member
with 22 years of service, currently employed as a
Commissionaire at CFD Dundurn. He has vast experience as
an EMO coordinator from his previous employment as a
Municipal Administrator and EMO coordinator for the
communities of Camperville MB, Green Lake SK, Kamsack
SK and Vanscoy SK in the 80s and 90s. His training includes
the necessary EMO courses from Emergency Planning
Canada and Sask Emergency Planning that include Basic Emergency Planning,
Emergency Exercise planning, Command & Control, Inter-Emergency
Department coordination, just to name a few. He has also been a past volunteer
firefighter for a number of years.
Ray Moskowec looks forward to working in his new role with the assistance of
the previous EMO coordinator Barb Olyniuk, who will continue on as the Deputy
EMO coordinator.
Welcome to the Municipal Team, Ray.
