Reading Rainbow Returns to Canada Day!

We are very pleased to announce that the Reading Rainbow game will be returning to Canada Day this year! The Reading Rainbow game was introduced to the event last year and was extremely popular. The game works like a cakewalk, but with books for prizes! The game ties in the Martensville Community Access Centre's focus on lifelong learning and literacy and brings an extra educational element to our fun family-friendly event!

Last year, we were very lucky to have boxes of books donated by Read Saskatoon. This year, we are looking for more donations in order to run the game more often. We are also hoping to add some adult books to the prize table to get the grown-ups involved too! If you have any books you'd like to donate, we would love to hear from you!

Thank you Joanna with the

Canada Day 2015 Meeting

The second Canada Day committee meeting is scheduled for February 25th at 7:00 pm-8:00 pm. The meeting will take place in room #2 in the Civic Centre. Everyone is welcome regardless of whether or not you were at the first meeting. There's lots of opportunities to help- pick and choose what appeals to you! At this stage, we are discussing live entertainment options and scheduling activities. This is a huge event that needs a lot of planning time, so we hope you'll join us!

Below is our Canada Day volunteer opportunities poster for the event. Please note that volunteering on the committee in no way obligates you to volunteer on the event day!

Youth Garden Plot Clean-Up

It's that time again- tis the season for garden clean-up! It's always so sad to pull out the plants we've worked so hard to take care of, but we'll be back next year! Keep an eye out for news of the new garden in March 2015- we hope to hold an interactive planning session around that time. 

Garden clean-up will take place this Saturday at 3pm. If you would like to join us, we would love to see you there! 

Disposing of, recycling and donating unwanted items

Wondering what to do with your old tires? Leftover paint from renos? Fabric scraps? The Martensville Community Access Centre has compiled a list of businesses, recycling centres and charities that will take those items off your hands. Before you take it to the dump, give us a call or email to find out if there may be a better option. 

A reminder that the City of Martensville is running two lane-pick-up days this month. The North Side is on September 15th and the South Side is on September 22nd.  See the city website for more information on what is acceptable to put out for pick up: Lane-Pick Up Info
