VIEW SCHEDULE

We have come up with two division schedules for both children and adults this coming Christmas since tthere is a limit of 100 people including kids and adults in the facilities.  Because of this limit we will also be holding radio games to allow as many individuals as possible to attend and take part in these fun holiday themed recreational activities.

1st — Indoor games. These will be scheduled with time limits for Children/Adults/Elders.  Children will have a starting time between 6:30pm to 9:00pm. The run time will be dependent on the amount of prizes carried out for the children at the community hall. Individuals who cannot participate in the community hall can take part at the the radio station as it will hold gaming events during the covid pandemic.

2nd — Adults (16+) will have a start time of 9:00p.m until either 11:00p.m. or 12:00 a.m. depending on the amount of gaming events held at the community hall.  Again individuals who cannot participate in the community hall can take part at the the radio station as it will hold gaming events during the covid pandemic.

3rd — Elders who are able to participate will also have to opportunity to attend recreational gaming events in our community hall and there should be coffee or tea available. Radio gaming events will also be carried out to individuals who cannot attend at the community hall.

Cost
$30 a game for children for each events held either at the C-hall or radio station, the reason why kids will have $30 a game events is we would like the children and younger youths to have fair opportunity.

$50 a game for both Adults and Elders at the community hall/radio station/outdoor gaming events that are to be carried out in these events.

The Recreation committee met on November 4th,2020 to see what kind of items the children will receive as Christmas Gifts during the holiday season.  We have made a list of wrapped gifts to order this year for babies, toddlers and youths.
We did the same for stocking stuffers and are ordering a selection of inexpensive items. We are also ordering stocking fillers with items suitable for babies.  We have also selected candies to use in a planned Candy Toss game that we will host in the community hall or in an outdoor event over the holidays.  We have selected from the stocking stuffer supplies for teens to hold  a ticket draw with tickets costing $2 each.

Dozens of people waved and smiled from behind the windows of their home in support Canada Day. Children paraded on the roadsides as the procession moved along the corridors to the leading to the uptown area of the community then concluded at the Fire Hall.

The Recreation Department captured the airwaves with a variety of radio games that kept community residents entertained. Congratulations to all winners and a special thank you for all those who made our Canada Day one worth celebrating!

Malgré les restrictions imposées aux événements communautaires pendant la fête du Canada, Clyde River a fait preuve de créativité et a offert plusieurs activités pour maintenir l’esprit de célébration vivant.

Le service d’incendie de Clyde River a coordonné le cortège annuel et des dizaines de résidents en camions, fourgonnettes, VTT et motocyclettes se sont joints au cortège depuis le centre-ville. Des dizaines de personnes ont salué et souri derrière les fenêtres de leur maison pour soutenir la fête du Canada. Les enfants ont défilé sur le bord des routes alors que la procession se déplaçait le long des couloirs menant au quartier des quartiers chics de la communauté, puis se terminait à la caserne des pompiers.

Le service des loisirs a capturé les ondes avec une variété de jeux radiophoniques qui ont diverti les résidents de la communauté. Félicitations à tous les gagnants et un merci spécial à tous ceux qui ont fait de notre fête du Canada une fête digne d’être célébrée!
“Le hameau tient à exprimer sa gratitude au ministère du Patrimoine canadien pour la subvention pour la célébration de cette année”.

Employees Long Service Award

Every day, our staff members work on the front lines and behind the scenes to support Council’s mandate by providing core municipal services in our great community. From maintaining the airport, clearing snow, delivering water, collecting sewage, tackling small and large community crises to supporting and helping residents and visitors, these individuals exemplify what it means to be committed.

This year, Council and I are recognizing fourteen (14) long serving employees for their invaluable contributions. With their years of service spanning between 5 to 42 years, it is very easy to identify how their efforts have greatly improved and impacted our local community in many ways.

All fourteen staff members were honoured at the Hamlet Office on Tuesday June 30, 2020. We thank them unequivocally for their time, effort and dedication to municipal service and wish them the best for years to come.
