Qu’Appelle Fire Department & 1st Responder News
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The Annual Garage Sale was once again held at the Rink for the month
of July. Thank you to everyone who donated, who helped us work the event and those who helped with
cleanup and of course thank you to everyone who came out and purchased some treasures! We made over
$5,000.00! For those of you who donated items you will be happy to know that if items weren’t sold they
still have another chance - We once again arranged for the Canadian Diabetes Association to pick up leftover items for Value Village. The Storage Wars on the second Saturday in July was a great success as
well. There were three bins auctioned, thanks to Auctioneer Troy Douglas. Thank you to everyone who
came out and bid on bins. It was lots of fun! For 2014 we have decided to host the event for the month of
June!!!!!
The department was saddened to learn that one of our Firefighter/1st Responders was diagnosed with Breast
Cancer in July. With the added expenses and loss of employment the department decided to step up and raise
some funds to help this firefighter/1st responder financially through this tough time. We therefore kept the
Garage Sale open for one extra Saturday with all the proceeds donated to the fight! We also held a raffle for a
Ruby Ring and sold hot dogs and drinks. It was a huge success! Thank you to everyone who has supported
this fundraising endeavour. The winner of the Ruby ring was Andrea Beanland of Regina.
Thank you for your ongoing support of the department.
Watch for posters for our Halloween Cabaret to be held at the Lions Hall on Saturday, October 26th. We are
raising funds to replace “Little Red” our pumper truck. The cabaret will begin with a silent auction at 7:00
p.m. (you don’t have to be attending the cabaret to come out and get some great items). The cabaret will
begin at 9:00 p.m. featuring music by Evolution Sound—midnight lunch. Tickets are only $15.00 each! Get
a costume together (or maybe you purchased one at the Garage Sale) and come out and have some Halloween
fun while supporting YOUR Fire and Rescue Department.
The garage sales will be held during the month of JUNE IN 2014 - so remember the change of the month!

Message from Robert Weisgarber
I would
like to thank the residents of Qu’Appelle who have supported me over the past 7 years.
I have been your Town Foreman for the past 5 years and have tried to do my best to keep our town in good
shape in all aspects that came under my jurisdiction.
I feel I worked well with the previous two Councils however things change and with the election of new
council, the expectations and duties of the position of Foreman has also changed.
The new Administration/Council has indicated to me that they are not happy with my performance and I
sadly have to say I am resigning my position effective immediately.
I would like to wish my successor, when he or she is hired, Good Luck and a successful career.
Thanking you all again

St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church
is closing the doors.
After 130 years of Presbyterian Heritage
and 88 years of Continuing Presbyterianism
this phase of our ministry is completed.
St. Andrews has meant a lot to us and to countless others.
It has served the community.
It has been a place to celebrate new life:
to invite new people into the kingdom of God,
to say goodbye to loved ones lost and much, much, more.
It has been a place of joy, a place of tears and a house of
prayer.
It… We… have served together as the bride of Christ.
In celebration and in thanksgiving to God

Which Canadian communities have won the
Prince of Wales’ architectural award?
The Town of Aurora in Ontario was the most recent (2008) recipient of the Prince of Wales’
Prize for Municipal Heritage Leadership while the Municipality of Saint-Raymond de
Portneuf, Quebec, was given an honourable mention. Other communities that have gained the
prize for demonstrating a strong and sustained commitment to supporting their historic places
have been Markham (2000), Victoria (2001), Saint John(2002), Quebec (2003), Perth (2004),
Charlottetown (2005) Annapolis Royal (2006), and St. John's (2007). Since his youth,
concern for architecture, the environment, and inner city renewal has been a major theme of
the Prince of Wales’ public life. It led to the establishment of the Municipal Heritage
Leadership Prize as part of the Heritage Canada Foundation’s National Awards Program in
1999. To qualify, a local jurisdiction must have a record of supporting heritage preservation
through regulation, policies, funding and stewardship.
