ALIDA - As of the beginning of May, our postmistress, Linda Akins, has been employed for 23 years at the Alida Post Office. That is unbelievable. Where does the time go? Then on May 6 Linda received a 30-year plaque from Canada Post. Congratulations Linda

Faye Walker spent May 5-8 in Saskatoon, visiting with her family: daughter Deidra, Jeff Nickel, granddaughters Olivia, Abby, Claire and Piper, and they all celebrated Mother’s Day on May 8 before she returned home to Alida. Faye also attended the funeral of her brother-in-law, Dean Walker, on May 7.
Kelsey Rydberg, Steven Wilson and dogs of Estevan, along with Gray and Edel Cowan, enjoyed a Mother’s Day supper on May 8 with Tim, Shelly and Ainsley Cowan. They helped Ainsley celebrate her birthday as well. Happy Mother’s Day to all moms.
