Well summer is finally into full swing and Matlock and area residents are enjoying it! Here are a few recent highlights, and news about some upcoming area events. We had a terrific turnout at the July 1st Canada Day celebrations. In the picture below, MRC vice-president, Kate Roed, welcomes residents and dignitaries to get things started. Another highlight of the day was recognizing the efforts of Matlock resident, Vic Clayton, who won the Volunteer of the Year Award as selected by the R.M. of St. Andrews. Vic had been away, fishing on Vancouver Island when the award was presented at the Volunteer Appreciation Dinner in St. Andrews, so we were happy to present it to him on July 1st. Vic was awarded this honour for his tireless efforts on behalf of the community. He helps out at the MRC whenever he is asked, he participates in most community events, is an active volunteer and member of the Winnipeg Beach Legion, and is an inspiration to us all.
