Vol. 4 Issue 1 June 2013

On Sunday, May 26th,about 150 people gath-ered at theRédemptoriste Park inSte. Anne to “Walk forDog Guides”. This is anannual event held acrossCanada in support ofthe “Lions Foundationof Canada Dog GuideSchool. Participants gathered monetarypledges and came to the park ready toexercise themselves and their dogs aswell as support the cause. Local Dog Guide recipient Shianneand her dog guide Navy attended. Ac-cording to her mother Annette, Shiannewas diagnosed with Hypermobility Syn-drome and Hypotonia at an early age. Since Navy has been in her life, thefamily has noticed a great difference. “We’ve seen Shianne become moreindependent and she does a lot moreon her own now. Navy is there to helpin many ways to make it easier in herday-to-day life,” explained Annette.

Shianne and Navy led the walk againthis year as about 100 dogs and hu-mans made their way around town toshow their support for Dog Guides. This is the second year the Steinbachand Area Lions Club organized thewalk in Ste. Anne and they also pro-vided free hot dogs and drinks to ev-erybody who showed up. New this year was a performance bythe “Wild Dog Sports Team” fromWinnipeg. They are a group of peoplewho rescue dogs from shelters andthen train them in agility and acrobat-ics. The show they put on was very en-tertaining with quite a few exciting

moments as races were held andtricks performed. It is amazing howfast some of these dogs are and howhigh, even the smallest of them canjump. Pledges and donations are stillcoming in so total money raised isnot yet available but the hope is thatlast year’s amount of just over$5,000 will be exceeded this year. Should you wish to support this wor-thy cause, please go towww.purinawalkfordogguides.com/findWalkResult.cfm?WalkID=1930and make a donation.

There was a fire at the Ste. Anne Museum Friday May 24th .the fire startedaround 3:45, and a lot of damage was done to the main building.

It was thought thatabout 60 percent ofthe items inside thebuilding where saved.But a closer look de-termined that onlyabout 25 percent canbe salvaged. Estimates have dam-age totals at around$100,000, but the ar-ticles themselves arenot insured, so that’s a

hole lot of history that went up in smoke. Despite all the losses suffered in the fire, the museum is not going to close.The Town of Ste, Anneis currently negotiatingto purchase land forthe museum near theSeine River Diversion,and the CommunityDevelopment Corpo-ration is talking withthe RM of Ste Anne topurchase their old mu-nicipal office. The cause of the fireis still undetermined atthis point, but it was ac-cidental.

Another fire started but was extinguished soon after on the#12 at the transformers across from Co-op. spectator JennFleming who lives behind where the fire ignited said “it was soscary a wire fell and lit the grass on fire and it was so windy it justspread”.
