One more update regarding the elections, I have posted updated nomination forms that include one additional form that must be completed (Form 3A). The forms are also available here:
http://www.svnakamun.com/wp-ontent/uploads/2017/06/Election_Nomination_Forms.pdfCorrection to the previous notice, the list of nominated candidates will be released on June 26, not July 26 as I had originally posted.
Here is a follow-up post from Harry Kassian, Deputy Mayor:
As Mark Miller has previously stated in his comments, this is indeed an election year for our Summer Village and he shared his ideas on our civic duty and why you might consider running for Council. I concur that his comments are shared by me and there is no point in reiterating them again.
However, I would like to state that I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to serve our village for many years and can only say that throughout this time, a great amount of satisfaction and personal reward was to be gained from completing projects that enhance our community. eg. boat launch, finding our Environmental Consultant to stop Masse’s development, etc.
This position does entail a commitment, time, energy, knowledge and an open mind. Our CAO is a great tutor on the MGA and has a vast amount of knowledge and experience in guiding us. Also, the experience of serving on Council is a fulfilling one with many experiences in the involvement in not only our village but with the other summer villages in our County as well.
Supplementary Courses from the Alberta Government are available for new Council Members to assist them and get them on their way.
I have enjoyed my time on Council and I have made the decision to run as a candidate in the upcoming election. If I am elected, I will work with any new Council members and look forward to sharing any experience that I have gained.
In closing, I am disappointed to see Mark Miller leaving as his energy and exuberance for our summer village will be missed. I am sure you will agree he has done an outstanding job for our village, and as he stated he “may run again in the future”.
Harry Kassian, Deputy Mayor
Next step in ball diamond improvements is installing the shale which starts at 10am tomorrow morning (May 11). If you are available, please come out and help!
The ball diamond project will continue tomorrow, starting at 10am when the bobcat is due to show up. Once again, if you can spare some time please head down to the diamond with a shovel and help Garry and crew on improvements.
Thanks to everyone for coming out on Sunday afternoon, we had a great turnout with fishing, skating, curling, and a hot dog roast.
Thanks to Garry for providing all of the firewood and helping out, Lonnie for helping, and Kim for providing the photos.
Here is a link to photos from the event, the dark, fuzzy pictures are mine:

Mayor, SV Nakamun ParkReminder – we are having a wiener roast and activities on the late tomorrow, starting at 11 am. Everyone is welcome and don’t forget your chair!
Hi everyone,
I have caused a bit of confusion with this message that I sent out last week. This is a regular monthly council meeting that is normally attended by just the summer village council and our Chief Administrative Officer. Public are welcome to attend, but if you would like to present at the meeting you need to arrange this in advance with our CAO (cao@svnakamun.com).
Some people thought this was a meeting that all residents attend, it is not. We have our annual Summer Village meeting in the summer that all residents are encouraged to come to for an update and to meet your neighbours (and have a great lunch!).
An update from Canada Post – mail is now being delivered to the new mailboxes at the east end of our village and the old mailboxes will be removed in the next couple of weeks. Please remove your lock from the old mailboxes as soon as possible, if it is not removed before the mailboxes are picked up you will lose it.
