FROM THE MAYORS DESK To the Residents of the Village of Donalda
Summer passes so quickly! This means that the new school year is about to begin and our children will be on the streets
morning and afternoon travelling to and from school. Please drive on the streets with caution so that the kids are safe. The speed limit in the Village on all streets and at all
times is 30km/hr. From time to time the RCMP are in our Village and will be observing speeds and will issue tickets when necessary. The next Village Council meeting will be
held on September 18, 2018. It will be held in a facility larger than the library, possibly the Drop-Inn Center. Please
watch for further notice confirming this location. This meeting will start at 6.00 pm. This will allow for an
informational open house on upcoming Cannabis legislation prior to the regular Council meeting which will commence at 7.00 pm. At the August Council Meeting an amendment to
the Village’s Land Use By-Law was introduced and given first reading. This amendment specifies the requirements
for the retail sale of Cannabis within the Village. Any amendment to a Land Use By-Law requires a Public
Hearing. This Public Hearing will be held within the regular Council Meeting on September 18. After this Hearing the regular Council Meeting will resume and
Council will consider introducing the amendment for second and third readings. Prior to this meeting copies of the
proposed amendment to the Village Land Use By-Law are available at the Village Office. All elected Municipal
Officials are required to be placed under Oath. In doing so they become qualified to act as a Commissioner of Oaths.
Your Village Councilors all have the official Commissioning Stamps and are available to provide Commissioning
Services on request. No fee is charged for this service. Respectfully, Dan Knudtson, Mayor

As we head into fall, we would like to wish all the farmers a safe and prosperous harvest. Summer has been busy for us with
building and grounds maintenance and improvements. August saw the exterior of the hall and the stage area painted. The Willow Canyon access road has been resurfaced, culverts replaced, ditches widened, and gravel added. Keep an eye out on the progress of the
hall as it undergoes a face lift as well. Our first annual Donalda Light Horse Show was a huge success with about 40 horses com-peting in classes all day. A great big THANK YOU goes out to our
summer students Jonny Dahl and Brayden Hofer for all their hard work this summer. As well as to the volunteers (Byron, Ray, and
Beth) who have spent countless hours working at the hall giving it a facelift. Congratulations to Rae Anna & BJ Normand on the
birth of their daughters Klara & Eva. BJ has resigned his director’s position and position of secretary, in order to spend more time with his new family. Congratulations also to Tristan Hesp and Sharmaine Andres on their upcoming nuptials, being held at Donalda Hall. Fall Supper will be held in October, date to be
announced. Upcoming dates: September 8-10: Wild Pink Yonder
