In 1958 Hamiota Co-op amalgamated with Cardale and Moline to create Hamiota/Cardale Co-op. The Cardale branch has been staffed by the same two women for nearly three decades so a surprise recognition was planned for them on Wednesday afternoon, June 17. Held at Dora’s Cafe in Cardale, approximately 30 people were on hand to witness Hamiota’s manager Bill Feschuk present “their girls” with gifts. Neither have announced plans to retire but the community and co-op board thought it high time for some recognition. Bill presented the women corsages, a leather duffle bag (Belva) and a watch (Melva).

There has been some very preliminary discussion about Social Impact Bonds. The PC party of Manitoba, under the leadership of Brian Pallister, is stating that socially progressive projects should be financed by way of private money through Social Impact Bonds. Social Impact Bonds (SIBs)are an idea that has started to emerge in Great Britain and apparently one project has developed in Saskatchewan. It’s a way of allowing private money to flow into projects and programs that meet a social need within the province.

According to Footprints & Chalk Dust, the history book of the 1981 Cardale Reunion Committee, it was in 1915 that pioneers of Cardale Methodist Church agreed to build a permanent place for worship. They had previously been meeting in Cardale (founded in the late 1880s) hall but by November 1915 their beautiful brick structure was built and ready for use. When Methodist, Congregational and Presbyterian congregations agreed to amalgamate in June 1925, United Church of Canada was born.
