Blast from the Past:
...Celebrating St. Malo’s 120th Birthday in 2012
Camping in St. Malo!
Campers & cottagers
have been coming to
St. Malo for summertime fun for more than
50 years. In 1957, a
dam was created on the
Rat River creating St.
Malo Lake. Malo. It
took the passage of
time and a great deal of
pressure from the St.
Malo Chamber of Commerce, but in 1958, the provincial government purchased 10 acres of land
around the lake. The first tiny beach and parking lot were created and that was the beginning of the
St. Malo “summer tourist” industry consisting of campers and cottagers from near & far.
The St. Malo Provincial Park was officially opened July 15, 1961 with Father David Roy performing
the blessing of the beach. The park prospered, grew and expanded over the years. Many park employees (then and now) who have worked or currently work at the Park were/are local residents. The
community of St. Malo benefited a great deal from the development of this provincial park.
During the growth and expansion of the park, other “camping” businesses developed in the area;
Gosselin Camping and Debonair Campground.
Camping on Ovila Gosselin’s family farm started in the early 1960’s. Camping sites could be rented
for the season or for short periods of time. In the 1980’s
electricity was brought to the campsites, private & public
beaches were developed with a diving board & play area
for children. There was canoeing, boating & even water
skiing on the lake during this time.
Campers loved the beauty & peacefulness of the St. Malo recreational
area.

RM of De Salaberry Economic Development
Office June Announcements
2012 is the International Year of Co-operatives
What is a Cooperative?
A cooperative is an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations through a jointly-owned and democraticallycontrolled enterprise.
Co-ops take different forms and operate in all sectors of the economy. They can be either non-profit
or for-profit enterprises, but cooperatives always serve both economic and social purposes. While a
co-op exists to meet the common needs of its members, it also promotes the development of those
members through their involvement in the democratic governance of the enterprise. At the same
time, the co-operative is usually undertaking local social development or economic development activities, such as creating jobs or providing goods and services that would otherwise be unavailable to
the community.
In Canada, approximately 8,800 co-operatives offer products and services to 17 million members.
350 of these cooperatives are located in Manitoba and Manitobans hold over 800,000 co-op memberships.
In Manitoba, there are three main types of cooperatives:
 A consumer co-op provides products or services to its members (such as a retail co-op, housing, health-care or child-care co-op).
 A producer co-op processes and markets the goods or services produced by its members, and/
or supplies products or services necessary to the members’ professional activities (such as independent entrepreneurs, artisans, or farmers).
 A worker co-op provides employment for its members. In this type of co-op, the employees are
the members and the owners of the enterprise.
The Seven Cooperative Principles
1. Voluntary and open membership
2. Democratic member control
3. Member economic participation
4. Autonomy and independence
5. Education, training and information
6. Co-operation among cooperatives
7. Concern for community
The Cooperative Advantage
Co-operatives make people, not profit, their top priority. Because co-operatives are owned and democratically-controlled by their members (individuals or groups) the decisions taken by co-operatives
balance the need for profitability with the needs of their members and the wider interests of the community. While meeting a broad range of needs, co-ops help develop community leadership. They
also help to build social capital by creating productive networks that broaden the base of support
and resources available to their members. Co-ops build local assets and keep wealth in the community by returning dividends to members. Finally, co-ops are rarely susceptible to pull-out or take-over
since they are guided by the interests of local stakeholders, not outside investors.

Let’s make 2012 the best ever!
Our 12 year old
son Loel has
been on the ice
since the age of
two. He used to
"stick handle"peas with his spoon on his highchair tray. When he was four, he joined
minor hockey because we could hold him back no longer, but despite his
years of experience in A1 & AAA hockey, Joel & his volunteer coaches
have taught him so many more skills and improved his existing talent immensely. Loel just joined ESMS & the HockeyAcademy this year & has
made many new friends. He is actually excited about going to school, & we
are very pleased with the small class sizes & individualized attention that
Loel has received. The incentive of ice time has helped him to maintain a
high grade average & he has developed a greater discipline & sense of responsibility towards his education. The opportunity for Loel to continue in his French Immersion curriculum is a definite positive for us and we appreciate the concept that ESMS is not a Hockey School
but rather a School that has a Hockey Program. Loel is already looking forward to Grade 8 at ESMS
and has obviously not been affected by the daily commute from Winnipeg to St.Malo. We would
highly recommend Joel Fouasse and theSt.Malo Hockey Academy to anyone who is looking for a
quality education with the added experience of a great hockey program.

Makoon: St. Malo’s Winnie the Pooh
René Dubois saved a life. It wasn’t a human life but that
does not diminish the value of this tiny life. René and his
wife, Jeanne, had their lives forever changed on March 25.
After determining that there was no mother bear in the area
to take care of this young cub, René took him home and his
family became the foster parents of baby MAKOON (Little
Bear). In no time at all, with bottle feeding and great care
and attention, this tiny bundle of fur was soon waddling
around the garage with great curiosity bringing smiles and
laughter to many.
St. Malo residents had once again become enamoured with
a local “resident.” This one did not play hockey or lead a
dog sled team but this furry little bundle of joy put smiles,
laughter and joy into the hearts of young and old alike. He was simply irresistible, our once in a lifetime
event. Makoon’s stay in St. Malo was very brief. On April 2, Conservation officers came and took him
away to the Assiniboine Park Zoo to be cared for while a decision is made by government officials on the
long term plans for his future. The hope of all of us in this community is that Makoon will be rehabilitated
to the wild somewhere in Manitoba. It has been a few months now since Makoon was rescued and
very little is known about his journey since leaving St. Malo, even though many have asked. There are
those that say humans should not interfere with the ways of the animal kingdom, but there are many who
believe things happen for a reason. We all hope someday to know what became of Makoon. But, in the
meantime, let’s treasure the wonderful memories we have of René with his baby bear Makoon.

St. Malo Chamber of Commerce
President’s Report
L'été est arrivé ainsi que les campeurs & les propriétaires de chalets!
Bienvenue à nouveau pour une autre belle été ici à St. Malo!
La Chambre de Commerce travaille sur les projets d’embellissements pour l’été :
1. Projet de lampadaire phase II : Ce projet est bien en cours. Les lampadaires sont provisoirement planifiés pour arriver de Québec au mois de juillet. Entretemps, nous installons les tas, les
câbles souterrains et commander les signes de parrainage de famille. Dès maintenant, il y a seulement 2 des 10 signes de famille disponibles donc si vous êtes intéressés s'il vous plaît contacter la Chambre.
2. Les Planteurs & les Bancs – Les planteurs & les bancs sont arrivés et sont placés dans des
endroits autour de « la promenade principale » de St. Malo. Nous espérons d’avoir des fleurs
dans les planteurs par la première semaine de juin. Sortez pour une promenade et venez voir ce
que nous avons fait.
Nuit de reconnaissances des Bénévolats
Samedi le 12 mai fut un grand succès encore cette année. Félicitations aux 14 récipiendaires de
ces prix et un très gros merci à tous les directeurs de la Chambre et les bénévoles qui ont aidé à la
Chambre de faire ceci un autre soir mémorable à St. Malo. La Chambre ne pourrait pas faire ceci
sans votre aide.
En terminant, voici quelque chose à penser: Avez-vous distribué votre SOURIRE dernièrement?
Summer is here and so are the campers and cottagers!
Welcome back to another great summer in St. Malo!
The Chamber of Commerce is working on two town beautification projects for the summer:
1. Lamppost Project Phase II – This project is well underway. The lampposts are tentatively
scheduled to arrive from Quebec in July. In the meantime, we are installing the pilings, underground wiring and ordering the family sponsorship signs. As of this date there are only two of the
10 available family signs left so if you are interested please contact the Chamber.
2. Planters & Benches – The planters & benches have arrived and are being placed in locations
around the main walking areas of St. Malo. We hope to have the flowers in the planters by the
first week of June. Come out for a walk and see what we have done!
Volunteer Award Night
Saturday, May 12 was a great success again this year. Congratulations to the 14 recipients of these
awards and a very big thank you to all the Chamber directors and volunteers who came out and
helped the Chamber in making this another memorable evening in St. Malo. The Chamber could not
do this without your help.
In closing here is something to think about: Have you given away your SMILE lately?

With seeding complete and the crops starting to emerge, it is now time to get ready for hay season!
The Green Gold program has again been underway since mid May. Its primary purpose is to collect
alfalfa clippings to determine when the optimal time is to take the first cut to reach dairy quality hay.
Clippings are taken and analysed by the wet chemistry method twice weekly until desired Relative
Feed Value (RFV) has been reached. Ideal RFV target for dairy quality hay is between 120 and 150
at the early bud stage of alfalfa. For dry cow and beef quality hay, aim for RFV of 100 to 120. With a
mild winter and favourable spring that we’ve had, hay day 2012 will be one of the earliest in recent
memory.
On a programming note, here are a few events/workshops offered in June:
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Training, Tuesday June 19th, 9 – 4pm, Room #104, 1000
Waverley Street, Winnipeg. For more info call 391-3064.

Blast from the Past:
From page 1…
Debonair Campground owners J.P. and Agnes Gosselin.
Debonair Campground
In 1985 J.P. and Agnes Gosselin took the 55
acres of land they purchased from J.P.’s father,
Maurice, and set off with a dream and a few dollars. It wasn’t easy, the days from late April to
mid-October were long, tough and stressful but
year by year, Debonair Campground evolved
from an “overflow” to the St. Malo Provincial
Park to the preferred seasonal campground for
many families.
Debonair Campground started on the north side
of HWY 403 and grew from 20 basic campsites
to more than 200 campsites today. Each year
improvements to the campground and sites
were made. Demand increased over the years
and soon Debonair opened up Moe’s Place on
the south side of Hwy 403.
Today the amenities include full and partially
serviced sites, hot tub, spring fed beach/pond
with slide & fountain, play structures, volleyball
court, showers, laundromat, on-site winter storage & renewable seasonal leases. Debonair
Campground is another great example of a local
business that started small but with years of
hard work & determination grew to the successful operation it is today.

It was a wonderful opportunity for me to have served and
worked with all of you these last five years, but now the
time has come for me to take a further step in my life.
Thank you for sharing your smile, your caring thoughts
and for allowing me to know you in a personal and professional manner. I wish you all a great summer and I
know you will embrace the next Postmaster with the
same spirits you have shown me. Thank you once again
and don't forget to come and see me in St-Pierre.
C'est avec une vive reconnaissance que je vous remercie
de votre chaleur, vos mots de joie et vos marques
d'amitié au cours des cinq dernières années. Je vous
quitte avec de bons souvenirs et vous souhaite un bel
été. Je sais que la prochaine personne qui vous servira,
sera accueilli avec les mêmes marques d'amitié que vous
m'avez posées. Je vous ai appréciés et merci pour tout.

Why Your Business
Needs To Be On The Web
The first and foremost answer is: To establish a presence.
Close to 500 million people world-wide have access to the
World Wide Web. No matter what your business is, you can't
ignore 500 million people. Even if you just conduct business
within your community, you want to let locals know that you are
interested in serving them in any way possible.
If you don't, your competitors will !!!
If you are a St. Malo & District Chamber of Commerce Member,
your business/farm/organization is promoted on the Chamber
website www.jadorestmalo.ca .
It is one of many benefits included in your membership
fee. Each member has its own page. They can display a variety
of things about their business, like a map of their location, various pictures, description, news, specials, events, contact information, website (if any), etc. It can act as a 24 hour, 7 days a
week open shop.
2012 Honourees are, from top left: Natasha Bouchard, Anita
Preteau, Robert Catellier, Christina Lambert, Hèlene Hébert,
Pierre Maynard, Bernice Preteau, Louis Gosselin, Dave Collette
& Aline Pilotte. Missing: Anette Cote, Jean Catellier, Michel

Word of mouth is excellent small business advertising – but it’s
slow.
In nowadays world, internet is the fastest growing source of
information, use it to your advantage!!!!!
