Maintenance Report for April 2023 to April 2024
During the spring of 2023 we replaced the sink and faucet in the canteen. Began planning
and preparing the basement spaces for new flooring.
Summer started with the hiring of a student, Emily Grimes, to take care of the outside spaces
around the community hall, baseball field and Seniors building. Mowing and grass trimming
consumed much of her time, but she also helped with painting inside the hall.
The chairs & tables in the basement were stored away to clear the spaces for new flooring.
The walls were painted, trim removed and replaced after the floo was finished.
A new electric furnace & hot water tank were installed to replace the old heating system on
the main floor. Downstairs we had new baseboard heaters installed to replace the old ones.
Outside we had new signs placed on the community centre, seniors building, tennis court,
and baseball field. Repairs were done to the wheelchair ramp. The deck & ramp were
pressure washed in preparation for paint, but unfortunately due to our wet summer, did not
get painted.
The baseball canteen was completed and bathrooms were finished. Lawn care equipment &
baseball equipment were moved into the new building making them more accessible.
The tennis court nets were set up and ready for the summer.
The baseball field and driveway were repaired for the season.
Due to problems with our water system, we had to place a UV unit on the water supply. The
unit was inspected and water tested and passed by the Dept of Environment.
Once the summer season ended the tennis courts & baseball field were closed up and we
had a quiet fall and winter until February 2024.
In February due to the large quantity of snow, alot of shovelling was required to keep the hall
accessible for events and meetings.
A new door for the emergency entrance off the kitchen was ordered, received and waiting to
be installed once the weather improves.
Doreen Boudreau moved her report, seconded byCarolyn Fougere, motion carried
Youth Development:
Heidi LeRue’s report via email 3/28/24
There are no new fundraising efforts on the horizon. When the weather warms up, we
are going to start looking for volunteers to put together the final pieces of playground
equipment that was delivered in the winter. This includes a small playset for children
as well as a communication board. We will also be hiring Bernard Burke to come in
and do some finishing touches on the walking trail. Additionally, we will be asking
Bernard to put the posts in place for the basketball nets. There is wood and materials
up by the playground for the dugouts, Stewart Kelly worked towards securing this
material and is planning to have parents work together to finish the dugout project.

President’s Report:
Good evening,
2
As we gather for our annual meeting, I am pleased to reflect on a year marked by substantial
progress and achievement across various projects. These accomplishments include the leveling
and installation of new flooring in the basement, c@psite and bathroom, as well as the successful
installation of new heating radiators. Additionally, we saw the transition to an electric furnace,
replacing outdated systems, and improvements in ventilation throughout the premises.
A new hot water heater was installed and the implementation of a durable metal roof, effectively
resolving long standing issues with leaks.
The total investment in these initiatives amounted to $82,000, supported by contributions of
$5,000 from the municipality and $29,800 from the province, with the remaining balance sourced
from fundraising activities. I extend my sincere appreciation to the diligent efforts of our board
members throughout the year, whose dedication has been invaluable in driving our collective
success.
As we move forward, you will hear comprehensive reports from the chairs of our various
committees. I extend my gratitude to each member of the board for their unwavering commitment
and collaboration, and I eagerly anticipate another year of shared accomplishments and growth.
Thank you.

President John Digout’s Annual Report:

River Bourgeois Senior’s Report for 2022 Our seniors club has had a wonderful year despite covid-19 closed our doors for the first couple of months. We saw our membership grow to 108 members, The strongest for several years. Our music sessions continue to be well attended with as many as twenty musicians each time. In September we saw the final insulation of our Solar System and immediately saw its benefits. In the winter months especially November to February we had very little sunshine which resulted in very little solar power. This should be avoided next year as we will be accumulating lots from the sun from March on to get us through next winter. I want to take this time to thank those who help us on a regular basis in keeping our music sessions going, those who continue to maintain our building. Special Thanks to the executive for their dedication

Youth Development:

YDC Report: Submitted via email 03/08/2023

It has been determined that a Splash pad will be too expensive for us to install. Our current

pricing for installation with recirculating water system (which is needed due to us not having

town water) is over $230,000. As a result, we have decided to concentrate our efforts in other

areas. We are currently looking into a skate park or a rollerblade area that can be converted to a

outdoor rink similar to what is found in New Waterford. We are in talks with a few people for

quotes on these projects. We have had Bernard Burke come to the recreation area and quote us

on creating a walking trail around the ballfield and creation of a pad for a 30×50 foot basketball court. It is our plan to have the walking trail as well as the basketball court completed by the end of the summer. I contacted ocean paving last year regarding the basketball court and we will also be seeking a quote from Blaine Landry at Capers Concrete.

Festival Events and Fundraising report: Provided by Sharon Chilvers

Annual Meeting-October 28th, 2020

We began with the continuation of the 2018 Chase the Ace and made $89,525., each for the hall and Youth, less the expenses of the tickets and misc. items. We managed to hold on to the Ace until the final card.

The Cafe was also held each week and made a profit of $15,348.  Much work went into these projects and thanks to all who helped.

We immediately went into the Festival and although we scaled down this year for the “lack of energy” we still made a profit of $10,000. An additional $5378. was made from events such as Trivia Nights, three meal caterings and Winterlude dinner.

Non-profit events were also held such as Canada Day, Community Christmas Celebration and Christmas Baskets.

It was a great rewarding year also a bit tiring but thanks to everyone, our financial situation at year end was great.
