New fences must be on or within your property lines. New buildings must meet local zoning requirements regarding distances from property lines. Additions require accurate location of existing buildings prior to design or construction. A survey prepared by a Manitoba Land Surveyor will determine the physical extent of the title to your property and offers peace of mind in knowing that your improvements are located within your title limits. Incorrect assumptions can be costly! Fences or tree lines may not be on or within your property lines. Iron pins may have been disturbed, unlawfully moved or may not represent your property corner at all. Call us for a free consultation. Good fences make good neighbors!

There are basic services that we must provide before we can do those special projects or additional services. Running our household is no different. We need to pay the mortgage, and utilities, put food on the table, make car payments, provide for our children, etc. before we allot monies for holidays or that extra something. The municipal portion of our average tax bill is some $500. per year while the school tax portion costs another $875. Council has no option but to collect the school tax and remit this to the Province of Manitoba. We do not make any money on the collection of these taxes and more often than not it costs us money. Every year there are outstanding taxes owing to the municipality. In 2008 these arrears were $550,000.00. The municipality was still obliged to pay $352,000.00, which was the school tax portion, to the Province of Manitoba. Not only did we not collect $550,000.00, but we also had to remit $352,000.00, which left us short by $902,000.00. We had to borrow money to pay the school portion to the Province which is not fair. Based on our average $500. per year, and yes the lakefront cottagers certainly pay much more, but that is a matter that we as elected municipal officials must discuss with the Province very shortly. Let me break down what your average tax bill pays for: • General Government ( Office staff, building and elected Official expenses) $143. • Police, Fire and Emergency Services $58. • Transportation ( Public works staff, drainage, road maintenance, parks) $217. • Environmental health (Maintain landfills & Economic Development) $56. • Welfare $7.00 • Planning $8.00 • Recreation $11.00 We also set aside moneys for future Capital expenses, for example, creating a new lagoon for septic waste costs in excess of $1.2 million dollars and a new fire truck approximately $300,000.00. There are always ways we can improve our visible or basic services such as drainage, grass cutting, road maintenance, dust control, snow plowing or by-law enforcement, and all of these basic services are costly. We are preparing longer range plans with respect to drainage and road maintenance so that we will be able to tell you when these projects will be undertaken. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me at [email protected] or 754-0308.

Our plans are to offer a place of gathering not only for Sports & Recreation, but also for Conversation and a sense of Community. Our goal is to unite the seasonal residents and the permanent residents by sharing a common ground and common interests. The Victoria Beach Sports Club was built by volunteers who were not afraid of hard work. They recognized a need for recreation and community and so, as they did in those days, they rolled up their sleeves and built “The Club”. They started with just the curling rink and eventually made it what it is today. In the early 70’s they decided to literally roll the Legion Hall down the hill to join it with the other building and then it became the Alex Anderson Memorial Sports Club and Legion Hall. The Club has been host to fifty years worth of great times, bonspiels, hockey games, socials, wedding and even funerals. Besides the Sports Club members, it is also home to the Merry Makers Club, a ladies group that raises money in various ways and donates it charities as well as local organizations. Our latest addition is the Victoria Beach Drama Club, which is a program that has a group of all ages, working together to put on an annual dinner theatre. Our plans for our new facility are to have “something for everyone”. • Conversation: Rather than a “canteen” there will be a “coffee shop” concept where you can enjoy time engaging in conversation and relax. • Sports: We will have a curling rink, skating rink, toboggan hill & fitness room. We are planning interpretive trails for summer hiking or cross country skiing in the winter. Of course there will still be the baseball diamond & skate park as well. • Education: Library/Interpretive center. Ability to set up mentoring and tutoring programs. • Community: Rental properties giving local businesses the opportunity to be accessible to the residents. A hall available for socials, weddings and other special events. Having this new Community Center will better the lives of the permanent and seasonal residents. It will offer a better standard of living and sense of community and community spirit. It would be a place for Seasonal and Residential people alike to share in sport, in education (such as the library/interpretive center) and to build relationships between each other in a facility that they built together. It was Robert Jonsson (R.J) who began this quest many years ago. He put a “building fund” label on a pickle jar and sat it on the bar. Every tip that jar has taken in, has gone into an account, waiting to realize the dream of building a new club. The area already has a strong, active senior community. We need to work on keeping our younger citizens as well to maintain a strong support system and balance in our Community. The fire department is a good example of why this balance is so important. Our community needs this center. Our children need it, we as parents and grandparents need it. In order to achieve that, we need to have a Community behind the Community Center.

Located on the east side of Lake Winnipeg, in the municipality of Victoria Beach, the Victoria Beach Yacht Club offers both recreation and racing fun. The clubhouse features a central class room, and a kitchen with cooking facilities, a fridge and barbecue. There are individual lockers and a boat storage compound, plus dinghy and catamaran launching off the beach. Races are held every Saturday and Sunday throughout July and August with deck barbecues held after every race day. The Sailing Club is hosting 3 Windsurfing Clinics this summer. If you wish to learn board sailing, how about joining the fun on the beach. The dates are July 17/18, July 27-29 and August 7/8. For registration and information call the Manitoba Sailing Association at 925-5650. The Victoria Beach Yacht Club also proudly offers 1 week sailing lessons for 7 year olds and up starting at the beginning of July through to mid August.

(the “Coalition”)/East Beaches Regional Complex Board Inc. (the “Complex Board”) The Journey and the Destination “It’s not the destination but the journey that’s important.....” or so they say. In reality, for the Coalition, as for most organizations, both the journey and the destination matter. The Coalition began its journey in 2002 to create an accessible, comprehensive, multipurpose Wellness Centre. Last year at this time, the Coalition was raising money and working towards the goal of building a Wellness Centre in the Traverse Bay area. However, as 2009 progressed it became apparent that the quickest and most effective way to fulfill the Coalition’s dream, and provide the community with what it wants and needs, would be to join with other organizations in the East Beaches area with similar goals. As a result, a number of organizations joined together with the common goal of creating a recreation and wellness complex, to be located at Grand Marais on land provided by the R.M. of St. Clements. The Complex Board Each of the founding organizations has a seat on the Complex Board, which was created to oversee this project. Community members fill other seats on the Complex Board. The R.M. of St. Clements has retained an architect to develop preliminary plans, with input from all of the participating organizations. The Complex Board will be responsible for raising funds through a Capital Campaign and generally overseeing the physical development and construction of the complex. Watch for communications from the Complex Board to see how you can become involved. The Coalition in 2010 The Coalition will be involved with the development of the complex through our representation on the Complex Board. We will make sure that a health and wellness component is included in the complex. Over the next year, the Coalition will turn its focus to health and wellness programming. Your membership in and support of the Coalition continues to be important to ensure that the Coalition’s voice in respect of health and wellness issues remains strong. Memberships are only $10 per year – membership forms and updates on the Coalition’s activities can be found at the Coalition’s website at www.ebwellnesscentre.com. Please join us for the Coalition’s Annual General Meeting “Just for the Health of It” on Saturday, May 29, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. at Walter Whyte School. The Coalition will have a brief meeting to provide an update on our activities and deal with some business matters. We have invited Dennis Wasylyniuk, Chair of the Complex Board, to give an update on the progress of the complex. Guest speaker Sue McKenzie will follow. Sue is a retired nurse who will speak to us about the need for proper nutrition and active living, after which we will enjoy some (relatively healthy) food and beverages. No tofu though – we promise! 50 Cottager’s Guide Eastern Beaches 51 Cottager The PHOTO CONTEST 2010 Win one of 3 great prizes, including: It is time for amateur photographers to start snapping those memorable moments at the lake.

Last year we did manage to make and distribute about 100 t-shirts to some lucky youngsters who were in the right spot at the right time doing the right thing. Pictured is Police Chief Stewart MacPHERSON handing out the first of the t-shirts to Christopher and his brother Daniel. Christopher ( football ) was the artist who created the shirt design as he was inspired by his neighbour, VB Police Corporal Lindsey STEVENS ( now Winnipeg Police Cst. Lindsey STEVENS ). Pictured also is Lindsey ( red shirt ) with the 2 boys. We had 3 VBP members leave us in Aug 2009 to attend Winnipeg Police Recruit Class so we will have some new faces for 2010.

We will be fund raising from many locations and businesses and if you are interested in riding with us please contact one of us for information and a pledge sheet. Each rider must raise $250.00 in order to participate....... which usually serves to discourage those who have only a partial interest in riding.

The club’s base area is from Belair and north to Victoria Beach, east towards Pine Falls and the club’s objectives are to enhance the enjoyment of snowmobiling in the area through fellowship, family outings and special events. The Snowdrifters are under the umbrella of Snoman, who coordinates all snowmobile trail activities throughout the province. This past February, the Snow Drifters hosted a Poker Derby that toured its snowmobilers through the local area including Belair Forest, Elk Island, Pine Falls, and Grand Beach.Hillside Power Products hosted the first trail checkpoint and the Birchwood Motor Hotel was kind enough to host the final check point and put on a fabulous buffet at the end of the day. March brought Children’s Carnival scheduled at Elk Island but because of our early melt it was held at the VB Sports Field. Some of the events for the children include three legged races, fish toss, egg and spoon races, boot toss and an obstacle course. Everyone enjoyed hotdogs and hamburgers cooked on the barbecue and soft drinks to keep refreshed on a beautiful day. The children (and the parents) enjoyed a beautiful warm sunny winter day?
