Splash Pad

Several residents have expressed an interest in having a splash pad in our area. The facilities are quite expensive, and the town is looking for anyone interested in seating on a fundraising committee to raise money for this project. Members are welcome from surrounding committees as well. This project will benefit the region.

IGA has already given a $10,000 grant to towards the project.

There are many benefits to having a splash pad including more time in the fresh air; time spent with friends getting much needed play time, social interaction (for parents and children) and exercise.
However, to make this happen there is a need for at least 10 committee members. If you are interested, a meeting on Monday, June 11 at 7:00 pm, Gerry Byrne Room.

Donation

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Town of Gillams who have generously donated a ’73 fire truck to the town. The truck will be stationed in Bide Arm.

Pictured below are: from the Town of Roddickton-Bide Arm Firefighter Barry Randell and Fire Chief Craig Canning and from the Town of Gillams Fire Chief Cecil Kerr, Mayor Patricia Penney, Town Manager Shelley Penney and Deputy Mayor Newton Pritchett.

Boil order

BOIL ORDER

A reminder to residents that boil orders are still in effect for Roddickton and Bide Arm areas.

The boil order for Roddickton will be in place for an extended period of time due to electrical upgrades at the pump house.

Any interested person(s) can submit a resume in person at the Green Moose Interpretation Centre during business hours or email roddickton@nf.aibn.com. Deadline is Tuesday, May 29, 2018.
