All residents, please be aware that Tomorrow (Saturday, May 6), the Fire Department is planning on spraying down the Tennis Court behind the School. They have asked all residents to keep their distance while the spraying is occurring to ensure everyone's safety. The spraying of the court will help clear out all residual snow and dirt that is on the tennis court and will reduce the wait time needed to get residents using the court for the summer months.

Please drop off your CD’s to Delany at the town office by Tomorrow (Friday April 28, 2017). Your CD's will be returned to you the next week.

Employment Opportunity, closing date is May 10, 2017 at 3:00 pm.

Please see below update from Mayor Watson: _____________________ “Unfortunately, this is one of those occasional Tuesdays where 5 out of 7 Councillors are out of town on business. Anyone who has attended a meeting can attest to the ineffectual, non-productive atmosphere that situation creates. This is also a genuine risk due to such difficult communication and a high likelihood that what comes out if a meeting like this is likely to set us back or slow us down trying to sort it all out afterwards. I know that many of you have noted that we postponed last week’s meeting since the SAO was out of town for medical reasons. Previously, the March 21 Committee of the Whole meeting was cancelled due to quorum concerns. This evening, random chance has 5 of 7 Councillors out of town either on business travel or holiday, which we all deserve at some point. Please rest assured that while not optimal this does, has, and will occasionally happen to all organizations at some point. Your Town Council will ensure we make up for the lost time as soon as we have a workable number in the same room. Just last week the Town sent out tender packages through an Engineering firm for the bidding to commence on one of the largest, most significant and important construction projects ever done by your local Municipal Government. Repairs to the sewage lift stations and associated components of our sewer systems may not be all that sexy, but I would suggest that after clean and safe drinking water it's arguably the second most important Town facility. This is expected to be a very high priced and long overdue project that will provide some local employment and much needed economic stimulus!“ Nathan

The first week in May is Mental Health Awareness Week - it is an annual national event that takes place across Canada. Creating healthy and supportive communities is imperative for the well-being of all individuals. Mental health week helps to create spaces and provide information to reduce stigma for those who experience these challenges. Lifting people spirits helps to create good energy and - music can be instrumental in doing this. In Norman Wells - during Mental Health Awareness week we are going to have an event titled “Music in the Air” where tunes will be played over the town speakers throughout the week. We need your help! We are looking for community members to loan some of their CD’s (so we have a variety of tunes) to the town to play during the “Music in the Air” event. Please drop off your CD’s to Delany at the town office by Friday April 28, 2017 (your CD will be returned after the event).

Reel Youth in Norman Wells, NT

In 2016, Norman Wells was lucky to have the Reel Youth project visit our Town for two weeks. Reel Youth facilitated a documentary project with the youth and elders of our Community as well as helped create a series of short files with the participants. All of these films are available for viewing on the Reel Youth website at: http://reelyouth.ca/normanwells2016.html. The Town of Norman Wells thanks Reel Youth for their time and effort in working with all of our participants and congratulates everyone who was involved in creating these spectacular films!
