The Nipawin Town Council held their bi-weekly meeting on Mar 10, during which several items were covered.
A delegation for the Nipawin Homecoming Comittee presented some of the ideas that have come out of their meetings. They would like to start a “Homecoming Park” in the area where the clock was set up in 2009. They are planning on asking the people of the town to put plaques around the base of the clock with their family name and when they arrived in the town. There was also talk of a statue. The declaration of the park was sent to the Recreation Board for further discussion.
Lisa Sholter was appointed to the Parks and Recreation Board for a two year term.
