UNITY ‑ The Town of Unity is planning to run the Adopt-a-Block program to look after the litter that has collected over the winter.

If residents would like to get an early start, maps of the block areas will be available at the town office by April 1. Residents can pick up their block maps, return them signed once area is finished and participants will be entered for prizes. The town will provide bags and disposable gloves.

Residents are reminded on behalf of our neighbours to attend to any items that may have collected in yards over the winter. The town bylaw officer will be checking for unsightly yards on behalf of all of Unity residents.

The yown of Unity is proclaiming April 7 “Green Shirt Day,” to raise awareness for organ donation and to honour the lives saved by Logan Boulet of the Humboldt Broncos. Take part by wearing green, installing green lights on your porches, decorating residence and business windows. A reminder to let your family and loved ones know your decision in regards to organ donation and sign up with the provincial registry at organdonor.saskatchewan.ca. The mayor has signed up as an ambassador for Green Shirt Day to promote organ donation in Saskatchewan.

The UCHS Activate group is planning to run a fundraiser through April to support Ukraine refugees.

As events return to our community it has been announced that Unity will have its annual Western Days June 3-5.  Canada Day will be celebrated at the Unity Heritage Museum grounds July 1 with entertainment and of course fireworks. Watch for more information to come.

Staff are preparing to officially release the budget for 2022. Mayor Del Frari says, “We are fortunate to have vigilant, dedicated staff who have our community’s best interest at heart. There are challenges to meet each and every year. Staff continue to show they are efficient and responsible. Town council continue to work on behalf of our residents to provide the services needed to carry out our lives in a healthy and happy environment.”
