WHAT’S HAPPENING AT THE LOG CABIN
Submitted by Jocelyn Hainsworth
The summer’s activities are starting to shape up at the Log Cabin! The Tourism Board met May 17 to discuss ideas and options, and
to plan for the coming season. After Covid restrictions tied our hands for so many things last year it’s exciting to be able to offer
anything. We still aren’t back to where we were pre-Covid, but things are definitely looking up!
Last year, after the roller coaster ride of constantly changing rules finally settled down, we decided to open the Log Cabin but with
lower capacity and shorter hours. We begin the 2021 season with the same hours -11:00 until 5:00 – but we will be monitoring
whether these hours are adequate and will adjust accordingly. We have the local “drop in for pie” market, and the camping crowd to
serve. We welcome your feedback on the best schedule to aim for.
Last year was a complete No Go for Canada Day celebrations but for 2021 we do have some
plans in the works. It’s still not going to be the usual July 1st but there are a few things that DO YOU LIKE
can go ahead. Meals, games and crowds are still off the table but parades are fine so we will
be inviting everyone to come and participate in the parade or be a spectator. Normally our BURGERS & FRIES?
parades start at 1:00 but we are planning for a later start time this year. Watch for Facebook
ads or call the Log Cabin for more information. We will also be ending the day with We make the best in
fireworks. Be sure to wave your Canadian flags and wear red and white to get into the spirit! town!!
And speaking of spirit, we are also sponsoring a Show Off Your Patriotism contest! We are
challenging everyone in Redvers to make their houses and yards a display of how great it is
to live in this country. There will be two categories: the prettiest yard, and the best themed

There are also plans to have kid’s craft fun activities out at the cabin – outdoors and Covid
restrictions adhered to, of course. Times and dates have not been nailed down yet, keep a

JUNE 2021 HAVEN HAPPENINGS
Submitted by Barbara Dennis
Spring has sprung here at the Haven.
We are ever so fortunate that we are a part of such a caring and sharing community. Just the other day a
flat full of very healthy looking and aromatic tomato plants was delivered for our residents to fill one of
the raised garden beds. Edgar Cruywels, thank you! Your note said, “Enjoy these tomatoes.” – I believe
our gardening residents, and those that enjoy eating fresh tomatoes – will do just that! Ever so grateful to
be able to get outside and enjoy the fresh and warmer air, some Haven residents got their hands dirty
filling pots and planting seeds.
AND not too many days ago The Redvers Lions Club represented by Jade Frecon donated funds to cover
the costs of providing WiFi for all the residents for the coming year. Corinne Toms was very happy to
accept their donation. The Redvers Wildlife Club covered the costs last year.
Technology is a wonderful asset for us all to keep in touch: even more so for those within the Haven
walls during these times of unprecedented lock downs. AND when relatives are far away, a face time call
to a loved one makes the day that much brighter.
Speaking of brighter? Look at these two photos. The
residents of each house, Garden View Terrace and
Tiger Lily Way each made a sign thanking the health
care workers for all they do. Posing for GVT is Pat
Reimer: for TLW is Jackie Simms.

A wonderful time of yearOn Friday, May 14th, Jake Slykhuis and Bill Slykhuis of B&A Holdings Ltd. and Tyler Englot & Sharon Lees of GMG Smokers hosted a pulled pork lunch for $10 per plate and all proceeds went towards beautification in Redvers.
