Unofficial word is a big-box store will
open a location within the RM in the
near future. There's already a funky little
general store area in the Yetman's sports
shop, deli goods and a butcher at Frigs
Natural Meats, an ice-cream shop and
several other businesses.
Christian says there's a domino effect
as residential growth sparks new
commercial development, which means
more jobs close to home and more
infrastructure development. She notes
that the province has directed more
funding the RM's way, with upgrades to
Highway 9, a new pedestrian bridge and
traffic lights.
The RM is in the Seven Oaks School
Division. It has an elementary school and
Olynyk expects to see at least one new
public school over the next few years.
The Dasmesh School Kindergarten-
Grade 10 English-Sikh faith-based school
opened this September and Gateway
Church King's School has plans to open
a school in the future.
Olynyk says there are 10 outdoor
skating rinks and excellent recreational
programs, indoors at Sunova Centre and
outdoors on soccer and baseball fields.
"The baseball diamonds I've been told
are the best in the province," he says,
adding the RM has an agreement with
Tennis Canada and Tennis Manitoba
to open eight outdoor courts and,
eventually, an indoor tennis facility at no
cost to the RM.
