Angela's Dance Academy is under the direction of Angela Mayor and has been in operation for 27 years. The fully-equipped private dance studio is located at 122 Mountain Street in Strasbourg and is home to boys and girls from the surrounding areas.  Ages 2 1/2 and older study the disciplines of tap, jazz, ballet, lyrical, musical theatre, baton twirling, hip-hop and production.  Session classes are also available during the fall months.

Throughout it's history, the studio has been home to local, provincial and international dance and twirling champions and many have continued their dance training in professional dance companies, as well as successfully running their own dance studios.

The students provide entertainment to the community, compete yearly at competitions and take great pride in their year-end show, Dance Fantasy, which stages the first week-end of June each year.  Angela's Dance Academy are also hosts to an annual dance competition, Dance Alive, which is held each spring.

Between Friends Quilter's Guild A meeting was held in June of 2000 to determine if there was enough interest in the district to form a quilter's guild. This was a result of requests from various individuals to the Strasbourg Recreation Board for quilting classes.  People from Nokomis, Semans, Bulyea and Strasbourg attended that first meeting. The first meeting of the guild took place in September of 2000. Our membership has grown to over 30 coming from as far away as Regina and Saskatoon and in between.  We have retreats in Feb. or March and November each year. Education is an important aspect of the guild with classes at many meetings and the retreats. We donate quilts to various charities such as Ronald McDonald House, Regina General Neo Natal Unit, Strasbourg Kidsport, Silton Recreation Board, ALS, MS Society, Care Homes in the district, Breast Cancer and the list goes on.  We have an Annual Quilt Show in November alternating locations between Drake and Strasbourg. New members are always welcome.

Country Women’s Network (CWN) Who are we? A committee of women from Strasbourg and surrounding area who plan 2 big events every year for the women of our area. We pride ourselves in very few meetings but still fulfill our goal of informing, entertaining and pampering the women in our area!

What do we do? Spring Ladies Day  - This day begins at 1:00 p.m. with registration and welcome. We then have 2 presentations separated by a great coffee break. We try to have one presentation that is educational and one that is a little lighter. The day is topped off with a wonderful catered supper. Topics we have covered include: interior design, wills & estate planning, healing with humor, farmyard landscaping, self esteem, fashion shows, handwriting analysis, farm income diversification, time management, multiculturalism, and many, many more!

Summer Bus Trip – This day begins usually around 8:00 a.m. and we travel to places in Saskatchewan that you always say that you want to stop at but don’t always get the chance. We include coffee breaks at unique locations and always end up with a supper and back home in the early evening.

Places we have been include: Abernethy – Motherwell Homestead and Bluenose Country Vacation Farm, Moose Jaw Tunnel Tour, Rosthern Seager Wheeler Farm, Veregin National Doukhobour Heritage Village, Claybank Brick Plant, and soooo many more!

We also sponsor awards at the Bulyea and Strasbourg schools every year for agricultural related Science Fair Projects. Usually at Christmas time we do a members only Christmas outing/party of some sort as well.

How do I get involved?  In the fall, after harvest is over, we have our organizational meeting for the year. That is when we accept new members.

How can I get more information? You can contact Rita Kerr @ 725-3149 any time and she will help you with whatever you need!

Come on out and have some fun with us!

East Shore Wildlife Federation

The East Shore Wildlife Federation - EWF (a branch in good standing of the provincial organization, Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation - SWF) is a non-profit, non-government organization committed to the wise use and management of all of our natural resources.

The local branch was established in 1979.

Seeking to follow the SWF mission statement “to ensure the wildlife legacy we leave to our children surpasses that which we inherited,” dedicated supporters and volunteers continue to work towards ensuring a lasting legacy of wildlife and wild places for future generations.

Over the years, approximately $60,000 have been donated to Habitat Trust to purchase land – a quarter section of this protected land is located nearby for the usage of wildlife members and local groups like the Boy Scouts or Girl Guides. An archery package (National Archery for School Program- NASP) was purchased so that local schools can provide archery training to interested students. Funds have been donated to fisheries programs for studies and research on Last Mountain Lake.

Club activities include a photo contest, fish derby, antler scoring, Hunter Safety training and an annual local awards/fundraising night. Monthly meetings are held traditionally on the 2nd Wednesday of the month from September to May with the annual meeting held in December.

Paid membership in the club/SWF includes monthly publications of the Outdoor Edge magazine.

Ladies Auxiliary to Last Mountain Pioneer Home The Ladies Auxiliary was formed on September 23, 1965 when a group of ladies, from the district, met at he Municipal Office in Strasbourg for the purpose of forming an auxiliary to Last Mountain Pioneer Home.

 

The Auxiliary is a volunteer organization and over these 42 years, the main objective has been the comfort and needs of the residents in our Home.

 

In 2007 sixteen members worked as a group to provide little extras and kindnesses for the residents. We held three teas and supplied and served lunch at two Farmers Markets and from our fundraising events have supplied needed items for the residents.

 

Our activities over the year include treats for Valentine's Day, plants for Easter and Christmas, birthday gifts and a party each month, a Christmas party, purchasing and planting front flower beds and a sum of money each month for fresh fruit.

Auxiliary meets on the second Monday of each month except July and August. Meetings are held in the Activity Room at the Last Mountain Pioneer Home at 2 p.m. We are a dedicated group of ladies and we always welcome new members.

 

Last Mountain Scouting

Welcome to Strasbourg. Are you looking for something for you children? Do they seek fun, excitement? Do they love camping, hiking, fishing, building and learning new things? Are they want to meet new people, make new friends? If so we are the group for them. Hi my name is Syrita and I am here to tell you a bit about what is it we do here with the Last Mountain Scouting. LMS for short. We are new to the surrounding area. We have kids from all around us. We started September 2010, in reviving the old group and making it new. Our group at the moment is currently running Beaver and Cubs. We are always looking for kids to join. Let me tell you a bit about what we have done in that last few months and what we are planning for the new year.

In September we opened our doors to whomever wanted to join, we have a Beaver Colony and we also have a Cub group. In October we started our Scout Popcorn Fundraiser, that went well for the first time. We held an all sections Bring a Friend event that was also a Halloween party. The kids did crafts, played games, made snowmen, ate mummy hot dogs. They had a costume fashion show also. They had a great time. I think the parents had fun too. In November we continued to sell popcorn, and were invited by the school here in Strasbourg to take part in the Remembrance Day program. The Cubs and Beavers were in full uniform for the event. December the Cubs took part in their first ever Overnight Winter Camp. The kids had a blast. They got to go sledding, snowshoeing, they did survival drills and took part in a Spy Hunt. Lets just say they are still asking about going again. They all had fun.

We are hoping that 2011 will be just as much fun. We have so many activities that we want to do with the group. In February the Beavers are going to be having a Beach Party. The Cubs are going ice fishing. The group is also going to do a big recycling day and do bottles that the Govan Scouts have donated to us as they are joined up with us. March is Earth Day so the kids will be having a couple of camps on the 26. May is our busiest month as we have the Cub Car Rallies, Scottish Camp, a trip to the Fishery, and a Circle Shoe Camp. In June we are planning a big raffle and having a big wrap up party.

Our Beaver group who is run by Brianne Hoffman (Hawk eye) our leader, Syrita Emery (Sunshine) assistant leader. We run the group currently Monday nights from 7pm-8:15pm with one Saturday a month. The age group for Beavers is 5-7.

Our Cub group is run by John Emery (Akela), Lowell Strauss (Baghera) Assistant Cub Leader,  Dean Hack
(Baloo) Assistant Cub Leader. Cubs are run twice a month also but around John's work schedule. They run on Thursday nights from 7pm-8:30pm and one Saturday a month. Cub age is 8-10.

We are trying to get more Scout age kids involved so far we have one who works with the Cubs. So if your child is 11-14 and is interested give us a shout.

If we have peeked your interest, and you wish to see what we are about give John a call. He can tell you all you need to know and if you want to see what is involved come and join us at a meeting some time. Here is how you can get a hold of us:

The Last Mountain Theatre Company (LMTC) is a thriving, not-for-profit community group dedicated to the continuation and preservation of amateur theatre. With over 20 full-time members, LMTC runs, on average, two productions a year – a fall production and a full-length dinner theatre in the spring. Every second year, the fall production is replaced with a highly successful haunted house; the basement of the Strasbourg Memorial Hall is transformed into a highly-detailed, gruesome masterpiece, resulting in one terrifying experience.

The LMTC mentors and shares resources with the William Derby School Drama Club and has performed joint productions with them as well. LMTC has hosted the provincial Theatre Saskatchewan One-Act Theatre Festival, a well-attended weekend event where amateur theatre groups from across Saskatchewan showcase their one-act productions, complete with adjudication, various theatre workshops, and lively Green Rooms.

The LMTC holds regular meetings, which are advertised in the community calendar. Anyone who is interested in any aspect of theatre, whether it is acting, directing, stage managing, technical, set construction and design, or make-up and costuming is invited to attend.
