Still Awaiting a New Church for Minnedosa United Church ...

After the tragic fire of February 12th 2006 (click here to read the story), the folks in town rallied and began planning for a new building ...

Now many months later, we're still waiting ... construction of new homes has been ongoing to the north of the vacant site where the 105 year old Church once stood ... and periodic announcements and countless rumours tell a sordid tale ...

One day a new building will again stand on Main St, as a home for the folks of Minnedosa United Church ... for now though ... we continue to wait !!

To read about the fire and the long journey from that terrible day that affected the good folks of Minnedosa United Church as well as the WHOLE community click here and start reading some of the posts that Reverend Shawn offered in the days and weeks following ... (The archives on the Blog he set up for Minnedosa United Church are worth a visit)

The Beach on a Autumn Afternoon ...

When the beach was proposed for Minnedosa Lake back in the late 1950's, everyone scoffed, but the town fathers persisted ... and now the beach, the campground and the surrounding park is a busy place ALL summer long.

When someone says - "you CAN'T do that!!" all it takes is a couple of dedicated people to prove them wrong ... Thankfully that is true of Minnedosa !!!

The lake, the beach, the campground - all of it is a real gem !!
