Celebrating a Century of Family Farming!

Hi Everyone:

 

Did you know that 80% of the residents in Kindersley have three generations of their family living here? That is a significant number and it shows up in the region as well. In Kindersley and area Information Services Corporation (ISC) will be honouring some families with an ISC Century Family Farm Award. The award recognizes families who have continuously maintained the same farm or ranch operation for 100 years or more.

 

Here is a list of some of the families being recognized for farming the same land for more than a century:

Reid Friedlund – D’Arcy

Greg McIntyre – D”Arcy

Gary Johnson – Eston

Duane Martinson – Fiske

Don Finley – Flaxcombe

Jerry & Joan Booy – Glaslyn

Edward Schamber – Kerrobert

Warren Baxter – Kindersley

Douglas Longtin – Kindersley

Kenneth & David Rea – Marengo

Congratulations everyone for persevering through a century of ups and down on the ever changing family farm!
