.Noel and Eddie Featured On “Backroad Stories” for Sasktel
Roughly 23 percent of Canada's population are immigrants. It is one of the highest percentages in the Western world. There is a strong case that immigrants are the life blood that allows the established households to thrive and expand. With airwaves and the online sphere sometimes stoking fears of immigrants, it is as great a time as any for some positivity. Overtime Studios out of Swift Current has produced a marvelous piece titled " Newcomers Play a Role in Eastend Saskatchewan " featuring our "own" Eddie Kim, owner of Hidden Valley Foods as well as Noel Encarnacion, current owner of Jack's Cafe. We get to hear the stories of how both men approached their decision to follow their dreams, and how far they have come since beginning. Our town is certainly fortunate to have not only good business people, but such wonderfully nice people as well.
The Eastend Activity Centre Needs Our Help
One of our historical buildings, the old school that is now known as the Eastend Activity Centre is one that has served Eastend well during it's lifetime, but as the years have crept on the old building has become mostly quiet and forgotten. Please read Melanie's request for the public to start a conversation with regards to the future of the building.
Eastenders, our Activity Centre Board and the beautiful old building that has housed this organization since 1975 is in trouble.
We need to put our heads and hands together and come up with a plan that makes our old School the financially viable, hub of activity that it has the potential to be.
Bring your ideas and interest on April 29th at 7 pm at the Activity Centre to build a plan for the future of this community gem. If you are unable to attend, send your ideas to thebluedogstudio@gmail.com for tabling at this meeting.
