The population grows to astounding numbers as families flock to their cottages and enjoy the beaches, parks and faculties. But the community has also had many years of winter fun and activities. Skating was always a favorite sport of the local children. Every spring, an annual event took place where many people would come out from Winnipeg on the train for a day of winter activities. It was referred to by the locals as the “Snowshoe Train”. The day would include sliding, skating on the lake, and much more. In 1946 the Victoria Beach Sports Club was formed with Bert Trainor as President. The municipality gave the club a group of lots beside the Legion Hall. There they built a skating rink to accommodate hockey standards, and a skating shack. For years to come, when the “Snowshoe Train” would come, the local men would play an annual hockey game against a team from Winnipeg. In the 1950’s, Alec Anderson decided that it would be a good idea to build a curling rink. Although he had never seen one before, he had heard that curling was a sport that anyone could play and would be perfect for the community. He went to Reg Moir, who worked at the lumber yard, and got a plan showing all of the standard measurement for a curling rink. Soon the vision was realized and the Victoria Beach curling rink was built beside the skating rink. There was a reception area and canteen where people could gather and watch the curling. The Sports Club became the center of winter fun and recreation. The Victoria Beach Legion Hall, which is now a part of the Sports Club, was built in 1936 alongside Pine Road. It served as host to many weddings, church services, Sunday school classes, funerals, dances, basket socials, and Christmas concerts. After the war, a group of men raised money to insulate and put an addition on the Hall. Mrs. Ives donated a small building that was used as a kitchen, but the extra space served as much more. It was a place for Christmas pageant participants to change costumes and newlyweds to sign nuptials. In the early 1970’s the Sports Club received a government grant that enabled them to make fantastic changes. With careful planning and the help of many volunteers, they made another addition to the building adding a full EASTERN BEACHES 5 Cottage Guide 2005 12/19/05 12:01 PM Page 6 kitchen/canteen, lobby area, restrooms, and a second floor viewing area for curling. Using large logs as rollers they moved the Legion Hall to adjoin the Sports Club. To this day, the building is always buzzing with activity. In the winter months there are nightly curling games, weekend bonspiels, skating, and children’s activities. In the summer, weekly Bingo, flea markets and art shows. It is also been the center of many celebrations and receptions. Unfortunately, the building is now in need of extensive work and repairs. Age and flood waters have taken their toll. It is time to focus on a new structure where we will create many more precious memories for years to come. The site is secured and plans are underway for the new Victoria Beach Recreational Center. Now, quest is upon raise enough money to get started on our new venture. On Saturday, May 21st there will be a fundraiser social event held at the Victoria Beach Sports Club on Pine Road. Join us for an evening of dancing, and socializing. There will also be a silent auction, door prizes, midnight lunch and more. For tickets, call Onale at 756-3344. Donations to the building fund are always welcomed and, of course, very appreciated. If you would like to make a contribution, please send it to the Victoria Beach Sports Club c/o Laurie Danwich Box 28 Traverse Bay, MB R0E 2A0. Tax receipts are available. 6 COTTAGER’S GUIDE Cottage Guide 2005 12/19/05 12:01 PM Page 7 Victoria Beach Sports Club & Merry Makers BINGO - Every Wednesday evening until Thanksgiving Doors open 5:30 pm MEAT DRAW - The Birchwood Motor Hotel is very gracious in allowing us the proceeds from the meat draw on the First Thursday of the month.

All that great snow this past winter, along with our well groomed trail system, the snowmobilers were having a great time. Our riding season started mid December and we rode until the end of March, so it was really worthwhile joining the Club and buying that Snopass! We want to give a big Thank you to our Snopass vendors, you did a great job and without you we would not have the funds to keep the trails in such great condition. When buying your Snopass make sure the name of our Club is on the pass so that we are the club that receives the money. As well, we hope the snowmobilers who ride our trail system will support the club by buying their annual memberships. The work is all done by volunteers, but we do need funds to keep that big yellow machine fueled and repaired if we want the benefit of smooth riding and marked trails. Our club and trails are only as good as its volunteers. To all who worked hard to make our year a success … Thank you. To all of the snowmobilers who feel they could lend a helping hand on occasion, we welcome you. Our Club includes the following areas: Hecla Island to Victoria Beach, Traverse Bay area, Hillside, Belair and we groom as far as Stead. The club meets regularly from September to April, with the meeting being held the first Saturday (after the 1st Wednesday) of each month, at 7 pm at the Birchwood Hotel. Come join us – have a voice – meet new friends to ride with. For more information visit our website at www.vbsnowdrifters.ca or talk to any club members who are active in the club.

The Cottager is seeking entries for its 2005 photo contest which will reward the first, second and third place finishers with valuable prizes (no substitutions). Deadline for entries is Dec. 31, 2005. The names of the winners will be published in our fall edition. MOSQUITO MAGNET® DEFENDER FROM DUBOIS MARINE TANK NOT INCLUDED nd 2 Note: When choosing the winners of our contest we look for photos that capture the moment and provide an inside, personal look at cottage country. While our criteria is based upon content, we also have to consider the quality of the print submitted. This is becoming a bit of a concern with digital photography and at home printers. Low resolution of a photo and poor print quality deter from the photo itself. If you think you ve got a winner it may be worthwhile getting it professionally printed.

From Patricia Beach in the South to Victoria Beach in the North the kids attend Walter Whyte School. Walter Whyte School is a Kindergarten to Senior One (Grade 9) school that is part of the Lord Selkirk School Division. The school offers a full range of options for the students who attend that include • Full-time Kindergarten, • Industrial Arts and Home Economics (Once a school cycle in Selkirk), Band (from grade 5 to S1), • an ever expanding and innovative art program. Lunch hour activities include • Fiddling (run by the Parent Advisory Council with sponsorship from the Manitoba Metis Federation), • a student newspaper, • drama club, • yearbook club, • a variety of athletic intramural activities. Recently after school activities have begun which include Gymnastics, Kung fu, and Hip Hop Dance. These take place after school and have been organ- ized to save people the drive to the Pine Falls/Powerview area for these activities. Response has been good with over 50 students signing up in March /April for the Spring Session. Along with the school activities, Walter Whyte School is also the home to Beaches Nursery (a Co-op run preschool), the Beaches Branch of Library Allard, and a variety evening activities. The P.A.C. is also starting to offer square dancing on weekends (with support form the Manitoba Metis Federation). With a school population that has been as high as 155 and is currently in the 130 – 40 range the classes at Walter Whyte are a comfortable size (2004-2005 average class size is 15). The benefits of a small school are numerous but the most obvious is the “family” atmosphere that is very evident in the school. With dedicated, exceptional staff that help the children along their educational journey, Walter Whyte School truly Soars With Eagles.

OPEN THIS SUMMER The Southeast Regional Metis Corporation office in Grand Marais is proud to present the opening of “Madeleine’s Trading Post Inc.” this summer. The Southeast Regional Metis Corporation has developed an outlet that will show case and promote Aboriginal artists and crafters within the Southeast Region. This outlet will serve as a vehicle to promote local talent and to increase awareness of Metis culture and heritage. Metis culture and heritage is an integral part of Manitoba’s diverse ethnic mosaic. For the Metis in the Southeast Region of the province, there is an urgent need to promote Metis values, art, crafts, music, languages and other aspects of Metis culture and heritage. The Metis arts and crafts shop in our facility will be a gathering place for activities that promote all aspects of Metis, Aboriginal and Inuit culture. This will be a great opportunity for artists and crafters through out the region to network and showcase their work. Not only will this create and promote cultural awareness for the aboriginal artists and crafters the store/gallery will feature but will also help these artists and artisans to gain exposure. Madeleine’s Trading Post is located at 56 Parkview Avenue in the Regional Office in Grand Marais, Mb. If you are interested in showcasing your talent please feel free to contact the Regional Office at 754-2721 for details and hours of operation. 46 COTTAGER’S GUIDE Cottage Guide 2005 12/19/05 12:02 PM Page 47 Three stores to serve you better.

The weather was absolutely gorgeous, warm temperatures and a breeze as soft as a spring kiss. The three-day Carnival was very well attended by thousands of people from near and far. Dignitaries from federal, provincial and municipal levels of government opened the event. Friday evening a youthful fiddling group from Walter Whyte School and the Tommy Knott Band entertained those in attendance and a special Valentine Teen Dance took place at Walter Whyte School. Indoor events on Saturday kept children busy with face painting, young magicians, balloon sculpting, a bean bag toss and the ever popular Adopt a Bear. Outdoor events were the skating rink, ever popular toboggan slide, the horse drawn sleigh ride and a cross-country Ski Derby for teens. Adult activities included a very popular Cribbage Tournament and a Darts Tournament. Silent auction, lottery tree and raffle tickets were available throughout the weekend. Lots of good food and beverages were available during the entire weekend and the more than 200 people were fed during the Sunday Pancake Breakfast. Organizers planned for two new events, a very successful Novelty Curling Bonspiel and a Sunday morning Multi-denominational Church Service with clergy and parishioners from Roman Catholic, Anglican and Lutheran parishes in the Beaches areas. The Belles of Praise, a Handbell choir from Greenwald/Trinity Lutheran church played, and a combined Anglican and Lutheran Voice choir sang during the service. Approximately160 people attended the service from all areas of the east beaches. The loose offering of $490 was donated to the Mennonite Central Committee for distribution to Asian Tsunami Relief. Organizers of this annual event are thankful for the efforts of many volunteers as well as the attendance of faithful residents and are hopeful that everyone will attend the Fifth Annual Family Festival scheduled for February 10th, 11th, and 12th, 2006.

Making your cottage or rural home ‘bear safe’ is often as simple as removing the food sources that attract bears. • Don’t leave food, garbage or pet food outside • Store garbage inside or outside in bear proof containers. • Garbage should be hauled away at least twice a week to prevent odours. • If you have garbage pick up, put out your garbage the day of delivery. • The bones and waste parts of fish and meat give off strong odours, store them in the freezer until garbage day. • Keep barbecues clean and free of grease. Store inside if possible. • Don’t put fish or meat in your compost. Use lime to reduce odours. • Pick fruit daily from trees. Ripening fruit is a powerful bear attractant. • Avoid bird feeders. Take feeders down in the summer. It is the actions of the cottage that determine the outcome of the bear/human encounter. If a problem bear becomes a dangerous bear, the bear may have to be destroyed. People can reduce the need for destruction of bears by handling food and garbage responsibly. Trapping or destroying bears is not the solution to bear problems. The community as a whole must work together by making their yards ‘bear safe.’ COTTAGE AND HOUSE LEVELING ACCURATE LEVELING Box 138 Grand Marais Releveling ● New Beams & Uprights ● Footings ● Pony Walls Estimates ● ● ● ● Raising New Pads Grade Beams ● Free Kerry Thomas 754-8970 Ted Thomas Serving all of the Eastern, Interlake and Northern Ontario Beaches 754-8178 EASTERN BEACHES 75 Cottage Guide 2005 12/19/05 12:03 PM Page 76 FRIESEN DRILLERS LTD.
