The Town of Porcupine Plain would like to recognize our collaborations with and the contributions made by the RM of Porcupine #395.
Not only do the Town and RM join forces in operating the Porcupine & District Fire Department (along with the RM of Bjorkdale – Division 1), we also jointly operated the Porcupine Regional Waste Management Authority (PRWMA). The RM of Porcupine has taken over the waste site location, where they now operate the Porcupine Transfer Station. We are still working together with all partners to have the PRWMA decommissioned completely.
The RM of Porcupine contributes yearly to facility operation costs; these funds are provided directly to the Chase Place Arena, Curling Rink and Larwood-Shaw Memorial Swimming Pool. The RM also assisted with the renovations for the Medical Clinic at Quilly’s Community Place and contribute toward doctor recruitment efforts and incentives.
Last year, we were also successful in creating the new STARS Landing Pad, ensuring residents the swiftest takeoff in their time of need. The RM and Town continue to work together on the maintenance of the landing pad and the airstrip.
Between the Town of Porcupine Plain and the RM of Porcupine #395, we have been able to offer Koral Kriger full-time employment, which has proven to work out wonderfully for all.
The RM of Porcupine #395 has been splendid to work with. Thank you for your invaluable partnership and efforts to create a viable and sustainable community.
