Its getting to be that time of year again. Join us on Saturday May 11 from 10 am to Noon for our annual Community Cleanup (Rain or Snow!).
This year will be slightly different from others. We will have meetup locations along Salter Street at the corner of Redwood, Mountain, Machray and Atlantic. This is where you can sign in, grab your supplies and gloves and head out from there.
As we don't have autobins any longer, we will also be using these corners along Salter Street as the drop off location for your collected garbage. Bring your bags back to Salter Street meet ups (same as above)! You can grab more bags and supplies so that you don't have to carry a lot of stuff with you while you are out and about.
Please come to the nearest corner to the area you want to clean. So, if you want to clean Machray Park, please go to Salter at Machray so that we can track where we need volunteers!
The second change is where our BBQ is afterwards. We will be headed to Luxton Community Centre at 210 St. Cross Street. This is where all our wonderful volunteers from our cleanup as well as Seven Oaks, Inkster and Luxton will be meeting up. We will be having food followed by prizes here.
Look forward to seeing all our neighbours out and having a great feast afterwards. Keep watch here for updates and any possible tweeks to plans as the event nears.
Any questions? Leave them in comments, send us an email at stjohnsra@gmail.com or check us out on Facebook or Twitter!
We are a community volunteer group that is looking to build friendships, community ties, improve safety and relationships, beautify our neighbourhood and promote positive events. Our meetings are the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 7 PM in Win Gardner Place - 363 McGregor Street.

17TH Annual Winnipeg Police Service North End Spring Feast
The Winnipeg Police released the below information regarding the 17th annual WPS North End Spring Feast.
-----
Members of the Winnipeg Police Service District #3 Community Support Unit will be hosting the 17th Annual Spring Feast at the Indian & Metis Friendship Centre located at 45 Robinson Street, tomorrow, April 12th at 12:00 noon.
In traditional Aboriginal communities, there were a select group of individuals known as the Peacekeepers or Warriors of the tribe. They were from the Bear Clan and assumed the responsibility to protect the community from harm. Another important role was to provide food to ensure no one within the community was hungry.
As police officers, we are honorary members of the bear clan and are expected to perform a wide range of duties and assume many different roles including being a Peacekeeper.
The Winnipeg Police Service North End Spring Feast, under the guidance of an Aboriginal Elder, is reminiscent of the tradition whereby the hunters in the community prepared and held a Community Feast.
This has proven to be a tremendous success and has enhanced the relationship between the members of our Police Service and the Aboriginal Community.
This year with the assistance of RB Russell culinary staff, Police Officers will prepare beef stew and serve it with bannock to members of community. In the past years, Officers have served upwards of 650 community members during this event.
This year Winnipeg Police Service members, including the WPS Cadets, along with CP, CN, RCMP and Treaty Three police officers, are honoured to represent the Bear Clan at this Traditional feast.
Business contributors of this year’s feast have made possible book scholarships for north end students. Performers from the area schools and Aboriginal Community will be in attendance.
Members of the media are welcome to attend.
