The Ste Geneviève Community Centre, in conjunction with the RM of Taché, is pleased to organize a community ski and snowshoe event at the Monominto Trails on Louis Riel Day (Monday February 20) from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Walk, snowshoe, or ski through poplar forest on the gentle trails using your own equipment (a few snowshoes and child-sized skis will be available to try out), and then join family and friends around a bonfire with hot chocolate. For more information, check out the Facebook event page or email robin.attas@gmail.com .
