“The Wakaw Lake Stewardship Group has been helped immensely by MCDP. We are grateful for the services offered through the program, with the knowledge of the MCDP development officers, and the resources which are available to the Wakaw Lake Stewardship Group. Through the services offered by MCDP, smaller municipalities, (where often, there are no development officers,) are given advice and assistance to those municipalities who are interested in working together towards a common goal. It has given us an opportunity to experience inter-municipal co-operation, and in the future, hopefully experience growth and economic development. We are especially thankful to Shelley Kilbride, Program Manager and Dana Schmalz, Development Officer for their professionalism and assistance in helping the group. With their help, we have come a long way - much farther than if we had been on our own.”
- Catherine Mazurkewich, Chairperson, Wakaw Lake Stewardship Group
