On Saturday January 14, members of the district’s Municipalities meet in Barwick for a full day of workshops.

There was a discussion at the meeting about daylight saving time. Everyone seemed to agree that they don’t like changing their clocks twice a year. Atikokan doesn’t change, but if we stayed in Central Standard time, we would be different than Minnesota and Manitoba. Council members are interested in hearing how residents feel before making a resolution that could affect the district.

Snowplow rates will go from $30 to $35 a plow, effective February 8.

February 3 is a P.A. day for all students in the Rainy River District.

Robin’s 2 cents.

Sending her ten-year-old son to pick up a pizza, a mother handed him some money and a discount coupon. Later he came home with the pizza and the coupon. When asked to explain, he replied, “ Relax Mom. I had enough money. I didn’t need the coupon.”
