He is well behaved and well-groomed. Would you be willing to permit me to keep him in my room?" The hotel owner replied, saying, "I've been operating hotels for thirty years. I've never had a dog steal bedclothes, towels, silverware or pictures off the walls. I've never had to kick a dog out in the middle of the night for being drunk and disorderly. And I've never had a dog skip out on a hotel bill. So, yes, your dog is welcome at my hotel. And if your dog will vouch for you, you're welcome to stay, too."

busy but it sure is FUN. I love learning and sharing helpful information with my friends, family, clients and customers. I believe we are created to help and support one another through life. I have been through some extremely challenging circumstances but I have learned that some of the most seemingly unbearable pressures produce some of the most precious jewels or life lessons. That is... when we choose to Trust God, & grow through adversity instead of playing the victim and becoming bitter & angry at the world.

Town of Nipawin Community Update

2nd Annual Nuu Rain Bike-A-Thon ~ August 18, 2012

In August 2011, Nuu Rain Inc. held their first bike-a-thon and it turned out to be huge success, raising just over $4000! Ray & Bonnie Emery, Founders of the Non-profit organization that cares for abandoned women with HIV/Aids and their children in Thailand, were very surprised with the response! The funds were used to help pay off land in Thailand where they were then able to construct the first home of the dream plan to build Baan Nuu Rain Village. The plan is to build more homes like this one and one common building to properly care for there women & children but more funds are needed. The 2nd Annual Nipawin-Tisdale Return Bike-a-thon will focus on raising enough funds to build one small two bedroom home. Any additional funds will be directed towards the construction of the common building.

Thinking Regionally!
The Town of Nipawin is taking a new regional approach to economic development. Nipawin joined the Twin Lakes Planning Community Association in October 2009. The idea of creating a partnership between municipalities was first expressed in March 2008 when the R.M. of Nipawin Council, through resolution, instructed their administrator to arrange a meeting with staff from the Municipality Capacity Development Program. The subject was to be joint planning and land use, and 3 other municipalities were invited to this meeting on April 23, 2008. community action plan including: Creating a better quality of life for the people within your community by accessing and enhancing existing resources and sharing knowledge; Developing new services with lower risks and cost; and Building a strong regional base through consistent planning for infrastructure, business investment and municipal services.

There are a number of benefits individual working together, focused on a common goal, so much municipalities receive when contributing to a regional more can be achieved

The weekend presents an opportunity for our soldiers to participate in some of the worlds finest sport fishing along the Saskatchewan River and Tobin Lake. The organizers are looking at hosting 60 veterans from Canada and the U.S. for the weekend events. This gives the community an excellent opportunity to show our appreciation for the sacrifice that these men and women have made for our country and abroad.
