Nehemiah eats a boiled salted duck egg

Its a blessing having Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park right down the road from us. The Bench, The Hills, and The Grasslands to our south and The Dunes to our north are all such unbelievable landscapes. Don't let anyone tell you Saskatchewan is just flat. We got some bumps and not just on the roads!

90-Year Celebration of the Coop in Tompkins, Saskatchewan.

But what exactly is a Co-op, and what makes it different from an ordinary business?

A Co-op is owned collectively by its members, essentially the people who shop there and use its services. Instead of existing primarily to generate profits for outside shareholders, a Co-op exists to serve the needs of its members and community. Using resources and purchasing power to build and sustain something all members have a stake in.

That idea has deep roots across rural Saskatchewan. For generations, co-operatives have helped small communities maintain grocery stores, fuel services, agricultural supplies, and other necessities that might otherwise be difficult to sustain locally.

This upcoming anniversary BBQ truly captures the essence of what a Co-op is about: community supporting community. Proceeds from the BBQ will go to our local Senior Centre, a place where our seniors can connect with one another over coffee and stories, where cards and bingo are played weekly, and where other activities and events take place throughout the year.

Places like the Senior Centre are an important part of a small town.They give older adults a place to remain active in the community, maintain friendships, and build meaningful connections. That social connection becomes especially important as people age; helping seniors remain independent, connected, and living in their own communities longer. Tompkins is a great community for seniors and young people alike.

There is something especially fitting about a 90-year-old community institution giving back to the older residents who have helped build this community over the decades.

A thriving small town needs institutions, gathering places, relationships, and reasons for people to keep participating in community life. The Co-op, the Senior Activity Centre, and even Frontier Initiative itself are examples of that.

Congratulations to the Tompkins Co-op on 90 years! We’ll see you at the BBQ on Tuesday!

One of the things we love doing at Frontier Initiative is helping people accomplish a dream! Yesterday, we had the pleasure of helping Connie Ness launch her new podcast, Running2Eternity. Hosting a podcast has been a dream of Connie’s for many years, and she persevered through many challenges to make it a reality. Tune in to hear Connie’s story of loss, faith, overcoming, and the hope she has found along the way.

Congratulations, Connie, on this wonderful accomplishment!

If you enjoy inspirational podcasts be sure to give Running2Eternity a listen and don’t forget to like, share, and follow to help Connie get her message out there!
