Dog & Cat Owners: Village Bylaw 22-91 states that every person within the village who owns, possesses or harbours a dog shall obtain a license from the clerk. The cost of the license is $5.00 per dog. As for cats, no license is required; however, as with dogs, you need to keep your pets within your property boundaries. Be a great neighbour and keep your pet in your own yard and on a leash if you're on a walk about.
Garbage reminder to nonresidents: If you have friends or relatives in the village, it does not give you the right to bring outside garbage in for pick up.
Due to high water tables and the spring thaw, it would be advisable to have your well water tested. Containers are available at the village office.
The Village Office is open 2 days a week to the public: Tuesdays and Wednesdays -10:00 a.m to 4:00 pm.
Council meeting has been changed to Monday, April 23rd.
Mayor Paula Stalwick
The main purpose of the Chamber is to make Shell Lake a better place to live & visit. We have accomplished much to be proud of since forming a formal group in 2003. Unfortunately, since that time attendance at meetings & participation by businesses has come to the point where it has become next to impossible to fulfil our mandate with our few active persons.
Those present at our last meeting felt committed to `The Great Neighbourhood Give-Away' on June 2, & `The Cabin Drop' in late May or early June. This could be the last of our Chamber sponsored events since we are led to assume that our local businesses do not need to be promoted nor do they wish to offer assistance for a growing community.
All businesses & interested individuals are invited to the annual meeting for your feedback, favourable or otherwise, on Tuesday April 10 at 7:30 at Partners in Worship hall.

Comments: Am in Calgary working on a Project. The temperature has really dropped and we have a bit of snow on the ground. I was walking back to my Suite last night I could see my breath in the air, and the snow was crunching under my boots. This brought back memories of the winters in Shell Lake, I recalled the many cold nights where one could find comfort in the confines of the Curlng rink, and as vividly as if it were yesterday, I could hear the door slam behind me, the smell of Freshly brewed coffee, Hot Dogs and Hamburgers. SHOUTS OF SWEEP! SWEEP! and the PEEL of the Rocks. It is comforting to remember a time that was... Best Wishes to ALL.......

Also, all the best to the Battersby's and Brewer's still farming near the Big Shell. ~~Can somebody give that Arnie Surestead a kick in the arse, and get him to give me an e-mail . We had some wild and wacky times as young pups in 68! ~~How has farming been? I know it was getting pretty dry three and a half years ago, when the lake was very low; and we could be seen nosing around town. Enjoy it while you can!!!!!! Arnie Nermo
