Some Pierceland Villa Drive tenants send a huge thank you to Twylla Johnson for providing some of her extra tomatoes for their use.🥰🥰

Also a huge thank you to Gordie and Sheila Stacey again for the donation of four huge bags of potatoes for these tenants as well.🥰🥰

The tenants were elated to be able to have these fresh vegetables as these were tenants that are not able to garden.



Pierceland people are wonderful 😊😊

Pierceland senior tenant shed moving

A huge thank you to all of the helpers that showed up September 27th to assist the maintenance manager Brad Churko and myself, along with Brayden Wild operating the skid steer, to relocate the tenant’s sheds.

This project involved lot of measuring to ensure that we were not parking anything on top of any lines at the back as there are several gas, power and telecommunication lines underground there.

After choosing appropriate locations, some fill had to be dropped in the locations and spread with rakes and then packed with a roller.

The tenants were very obliging and cooperated with our work crew, and had all their belongings removed from the sheds to allow them to be moved.

Some concrete pads had to be moved from storage and set into appropriate places for the pads. This was heavy hand work for some of the young men that showed up to help us.

Once all the spots were prepped, the sheds were moved by Brayden, who thankfully had some long extensions on his forks.

Everything went surprisingly well, and once the sheds were spotted, there was just levelling left to do. Then the tenants were very happy to get their belongings put back into their sheds.

The following young men showed up on three different days to assist with this project.

Tucker Ross, Owen Ross, Rowley Robertson, Dave Penner, and Brayden Wild. A huge thank you to all these young people for helping out.

This project was instigated from the necessity of us having to do some major work on the north sides of the tenants building hopefully in the 2027 maintenance year. There are some grading problems at the back and problems with some concrete pads placed many years ago that have sunk and are allowing water to flow into the crawlspaces of the units.

This will be a major undertaking next year, but having got the sheds relocated, we are prepared to go ahead if funding is available.

A big thank you also to Maxine Torgerson for a supplying some baking and liquid, refreshments to the boys.

Coming Up
Sask Housing has made a requirement that all the sheds owned by the tenants on the north side of the villas are required to be moved further away from the units. This is due to the fact that some major landscaping on the north side of the building is required to prevent water leaking and damage to the unit crawlspaces and also to coincide with Fire Safety Regulations. Unfortunately, for the tenants, this move expense is upon each one of them for their own shed as Sask Housing does not own the sheds and there’s no funding available to move them.

Coming up next week, I will be meeting with the Tenant Association to discuss some of the options that are available to the tenants. So far we have completed the layout of where sheds will be required to be moved to. Further discussion with the tenants will determine whose sheds will be moved by their own family, and whose will be done by a joint effort and shared cost. The timeline to have this completed is June 30th of this year.

A huge thank you to Cora Yurko who has donated her shed to the Tenant Association. It will be situated in a central location for the use of all tenants, especially for those that do not have a shed themselves and have a bit of gardening equipment. A smaller shed has also been donated by Hanna Rawlake (Thank you Hanna) and likewise will be located near the watershed for the use of other tenants.

Tenant Association
Rummage & Bakes Sale
May 30th 10:00 am to 3:00 pm @ Senior Hall

On behalf of the Pierceland Housing Board, I’d like to thank all the tenants for all the hard work they put into raising funds towards their repairs. They did an enormous amount of baking delicious goodies, bread and buns, and pies. Kudos to them for all that hard work during this heat wave. I would have thrown my oven mitts in the oven, turned it on high, cracked a cool one and gave a cash donation.😝

Thank you to tenants Jenny Pahlke, Claudia Wilson, Elaine Johnson and Maxine Torgeson.

Thank you to all of the following for donating baking as well. Cheryl Churko, Iris Horton, Cathy de Clark, Marilynne Stacey, Audrey Ehle, Anna Reisinger and Coral Dale. Your time and generosity are so much appreciated.

Besides the tremendous amount of baking donated by the tenants, they also donated many items on the sale tables as well. So many generous people from the community donated items and baking as well for the senior tenants to sell to raise money. Thank you to Twyla Johnson for the donation of plants. Once again, the generosity of Pierceland residents was astounding.🥰 Thank you so much👍

Some of the larger cash donations were given by
Mary Jane Harrison
Cora Yurko
Coral Dale
Leslie Brunet
Beverly Rawlake
Denise Demuth
Racquel Rawlake
Tyrell Turchyn
Along with several smaller donations when buyers just evened up their cash.
Thank you so much to everybody who came and purchased. The generosity and support was amazing.

50-50 tickets were also on sale. Tickets sold were $240 worth and the winner Holly Bararienski took home a prize of $120.

Total monies raised today from the rummage and bake sale and 50/50 came to $1916.65.

Other monies that the tenant association have raised are as follows:
Sale of some other small items $70,
a previous bingo $250, a donation from RCMP Sargent $200, sale of two armchairs donated by tenants $122.50,
sale of another larger item $50 and proceeds from their last meal and bingo $245.

The total funds raised so far are $2609.15. These funds will be put towards repairing the electrical line to their watershed for watering their garden. We will continue with bingo in the fall, raising more funds for the tenant association. Funds remaining after the repair of the electrical line will be put towards a shade gazebo of some sort for the tenants and seniors to enjoy in the backyard.

The leftover items from the sale have been taken to the Beacon Hill plant for the next garage sale around June 20th. There will be a table set up for them to continue selling these items and any other items that someone wishes to donate to them.😊👍

Pierceland - you are AWESOME🥰
