On Oct. 1, SaskBusiness Magazine placed the member-owned, community-based Meadow Lake Co-op 74th out of the top 100 businesses in Saskatchewan. The local grocer is one of 19 retail co-operatives across the province to receive the recognition. Operations Manager John Decker attributed the accomplishment to the 165 hardworking and dedicated staff members.
On Oct. 10 Meadow Lake families got the chance to interact with members of the local fire department by asking questions, learning new skills including how to prevent household fires. Attendees explored the city’s new fire truck, learned about various pieces of equipment, and witness demonstrations on kitchen fires and how airbags work. Fire Chief Neil Marsh said he was pleased with the turn out.
