Happy Mother’s Day. For those of you still with a mom, in whatever manner you are able with pandemic protocols, make sure you acknowledge her in some way. Life didn’t come with instructions, it came with a mother – and for this we are thankful. Happy Mother’s Day to my mother-in-law Anne. A recent announcement indicates the long process of relocating Highway 21 north, a discussion topic for the past four decades, will begin to move forward. This highway is narrow, incurs regular surface failures and brings heavy truck traffic through and near residential areas of the community. The Town of Unity, RM of Round Valley and North West Terminal have all been engaged in discussions with the Ministry of Highways and have come to agreements to partner to move a portion of this highway to the east of the community. The project would start south of the museum grounds and meet back up with the existing Highway 14 intersection.

This past year has been nothing but challenges and they have all been met with resolution, perseverance and positive attitudes. We need to show support to our business community who have been here for all of us throughout the pandemic, and every other year. Put your money where your house is and love local.
