A State of the District meeting was held at the Ste. Rose community hall for figureheads from the area to talk about community growth.
Mayor of Ste. Rose Robert Brunel was excited to have this event in Ste. Rose, and he's looking forward to working with the surrounding towns to stay connected and thrive together.
"It's really about bringing us together and building those relationships. prior to covid, the state of the districts has been going on, so having them in Ste. Rose is nice to see that it's starting over since covid and it's bringing leaders, community members, and business people together."
Brunel addressed several key factors that affect most places in the parkland area, such as housing growth, increasing tourism attractions, and preserving the campsites and trails.
"These are some of the investments in time and energy and money that people are putting into their community so they can raise their families and make it a good place for others to raise their families and set down some roots, to make it a community where there's something for everyone."
Several important members of the community were there, including Chamber Executive Director Stephen Chychota, Chamber Board Member Gabe Mercier, Dauphin Mayor David Bosiak, Gilbert Plains Reeve Jim Manchur, Grandview Mayor Lyle Morran, and RM of Dauphin CAO Nicole Chychota.
This meeting highlighted the common points that all of these areas have to address and provided an ideal situation to build a better community, together.
