A GOOD NEWS STORY – OPERATION HOLIDAY DROP
Today we completed our “Operation Holiday Drop” at the St. Anthony’s Hospital. This year has been a tough one for so many people. We are now coming strong into the holiday season and this one will not look like any other we have had before. The consistent warnings about gathering, to stay safe and the news of new cases, rising numbers in hospitals and the strain on our healthcare system. This all echoes as we edge closer to the time many of us look forward to. We have an amazing community here in Esterhazy! While we may not be able to gather like we used to, many local small and home-based businesses are..

NVCU supports Legion during these uncertain times
Pictured above… Roy Spence presents a cheque to and receives a poppy appreciation award from Barry Spence with the Royal Canadian Legion #249 in Esterhazy SK. Due to COVID-19 the Legion members were unable to solicit door to door for poppies this year. It was important that North Valley Credit Union still made sure that they received their funds for 2020. For anyone who is wishing to donate to the legion please contact Marlene Redbourne or Barry Spence or any one of our local legion members. Also, a friendly reminder that you do not have to be a legion member to enjoy the legion lounge! Be sure to gather your friends and come down for a game of pool or darts and have a cold beverage!
Kenneth J. Kerr launches Journaling Video Course
Kenneth J. Kerr, former Esterhazy-area Journalist and operator of EsterhazyOnline, has launched his first fully-featured online video course. The “A Life Worth Journaling” Video Program is a significantly-expanded adaptation of his original live workshop of the same title, a workshop that was held in several locations in Saskatchewan in 2019, (including Yorkton), to great acclaim. It was originally planned to hold a second event in Yorkton in May this year, and also events in the Esterhazy area, but the obvious global situation put paid to that. Undaunted, Kenneth pressed on and started learning how to create online courses. It took months to find the most suitable hosting service, and then to…

The “Glassy but classy” look at North Valley Credit Union
This week marks the re-opening of many businesses across the country as we slowly return to normal.

North Valley Credit Union branch re-opening
I am pleased to advise that North Valley Credit Union will be re-opening its branch in Esterhazy on Monday June 1st, 2020. We are excited to welcome our members, customers and clients back into our building.
As we have not been given the “all clear” insofar as COVID is concerned we will be continuing to take precautions for the safety of our staff members and the public. These safety precautions are:
- Requiring that social distancing be maintained within the branch.
- Ensuring that everyone entering the branch use hand sanitizer.
- Requesting that you remove your gloves before entering the building
- Limiting the number of people within the branch at any one time.
We will not be requiring anyone entering the branch to wear a facemask, however, if you feel more comfortable doing so you are welcome to wear one.
We will not be screening people for symptoms of the virus so you will be on the honour system to ensure that you are free from the virus when entering our building.
When coming into our office you will see we have installed tempered glass at all the front office workstations and these will be a permanent fixture even after the threat of the virus has passed. Again, this is a safety precaution to protect everyone’s health to the best of our ability.
If you have any questions you can reach us at:
306-745-6615 or toll free at 1-888-533-NVCU (6828)
