Affordable Commercial Space for Lease in Booming Southern Saskatchewan

Tenant News Update May 1 2009

Here is some information about the activities at the Centre:

Our first long term tenant is the Limerick Healing Centre, proprietor Tina Cojocar. The Healing Centre focusses on alternative and complementary health strategies. There is a particular focus on energy medicine. They do regular seminars and workshops for people wishing to learn more about handling their health as well as scheduling individual consultations.

Community Fitness is a Limerick community undertaking first conceived by Marlene Mellquist and now managed by her. The Fitness room has a wide range of fitness equipment including treadmills, steppers, a recumbent bike, exercise balls and free and fixed weights. Members have access to the Fitness room 24/7. Membership is $25 per month. The members also walk laps in the halls and have been keeping track of their distances since January. Collectively they have walked from Limerick to Victoria!

In February we opened a kids' drop -in which the kids have named Kids' Kingdom. With a provincial grant to defray expenses the Kingdom is operated by a management board consisting of two parents and two kids. Parents are Maureen Cranfield and Sharon Poor and the children are Derek Smith and Jusselle Mortimer. Lynn Headrick is the supervisor of the Kingdom and Jusselle Mortimer volunteers to work with the younger children. Kids can drop in between 4 and 6 pm on any Monday or Thursday. They play, have a healthy snack and 'hang out' with their friends. We recently applied for another grant which, if we get it, will allow us to operate for the whole of the next school year.

Right now we are looking for someone to operate an ice cream stand for the summer. We imagine that it would be open from about 5 to 9 pm daily. To further entice people to the Centre we will be beginning disc golf and horseshoes in the playground of the Centre. These games are part of our initiative under the provincial Community in Motion program. We applied for and received a Community in Motion designation during the winter. This will give us access to grant money that will assist us to expand the number of people in our community who participate in physical activities.

We are also offering our first fine arts workshop in August of this year. Light, Shade & Colour: Inspiration in the Country will be taught by Laureen Marchand, a well known artist and instructor from Saskatoon. Dates of the workshop are August 7, 8 and 9.

Following the workshop we are offering what we are calling a traveling retreat. Designed especially for artists Seeing the Prairies through Artists' Eyes will take participants off the beaten track. Going first to the Shurniak Gallery and then the St. Victor Petroglyphs, the retreat will travel on to the Mergel Ranch and the Old Post museum at Wood Mountain and end at the co-cathedral in Gravelbourg. The traveling retreat will be delivered on August 9, 10 and 11.

Cheers to all my readers!

Our Vision

Our community seeks to work with the cooperation of both the municipal government, and our village authorities, to turn our disastrous school closure of 2006, into a triumph of community action which will benefit each and every family in our district.

With determination and focus, we will turn our beautiful school facility into a cultural and economic force, which will attract new people and businesses, bringing a positive energy to our community, that will lift us up to new optimism.

We too in Limerick, can join the dozens of other southern Saskatchewan towns and villages, that have been experiencing economic upturns and unprecedented growth over the past two years.

We welcome all those who would like to work with us, to promote our unique commercial lease space. Please do not hesitate to join us in accomplishing our vision. We look forward to meeting you and hearing your ideas. Together, we can maintaining the Centre, and turn it to good use.
