Outpouring of support for GPACA!

Huge thanks to the Petite Riviere volunteer fire department for hosting the meeting & the Ladies Auxilary and community volunteers for providing refreshments.

The Greater Petite Area Community Association (GPACA) held their founding meeting on May 4th, welcoming close to 75 community members, to share information & updates, build membership and provide an opportunity to learn more ways to get involved in the community.

What a week!

4 prime time radio spots on CBC 1, 3 letters to Lighthouse, 2 stories on CKBW and 1 video with over 15,000 views in less than 24 hours! Our blog and petition went live. Lots of impassioned letters from community to officials. Third action team meeting.

AND the staff at PRES went above and beyond and hosted amazing Winter Carnival activities all week to make every day special despite some upsetting headlines kids may have been privy to.

This one goes out to you – Freedom Fighters. Happy Weekend!
