At the Annual Meeting of the Meadowgreen Community Association, community members listened to Danielle Chartier, MLA Riversdale, explain her role as a Member of the Legislative Assembly. She also talked about her role at the critic for the Health portfolio, Seniors portfolio and the Status of Women. Danielle also gave us an overview of the work that she does on behalf of Riversdale constituents. Her energy and enthusiasm for the work she does and the long hours was noted. Danielle encouraged people to contact her office if there are concerns that she might help address. She also noted that most of her work helping constituents is done behind the scenes and going to the media is a last resort and only if people consent.
As well Marina Melchiorre, Transportation Infrastructure Engineer with the City of Saskatoon was present. She wanted to hear from residents about their issues and use of the 18th Street/Circle Drive pedestrian underpass. If you have anything you wish her to address, she is working on a report for City Council on the underpass, please contact her at the City. Many other traffic issues were brought up and Marina encouraged us to use the City's website under Traffic and file a report so that our concerns are addressed.
Other community issues brought up were the strip mall on 18th and Ave W and snow removal.
The executive reported on a number of events and programs: soccer, rink, community clean-up, community fair etc. The executive was acclaimed with one additional person volunteering from the floor.

Meadowgreen Fair enjoys Fabulous Weather
The Meadowgreen Fair was fantastic! The event was blessed with fabulous weather and it was a perfect day for a barbeque. Over 700 people attended the fair and they enjoyed great entertainment including the W.P. Bate School Jiggers, Hula Hoopster, Beeper the Clown and the Saskatoon Juggling Club.
A big attraction was the Western Development's Caliope that provided music for the crowd to enjoy. The Caliope, a steam organ, is only one of two in Canada. It originates from the late 1800's to the early 1930s when steam organs were common place.
There were a lot of informational displays that people could view as well including Aids Saskatoon, The Society for the Prevention of Handicaps, The Community Health Nurse, The Immigrant Women of Saskatoon, Saskatoon Crime Free Housing, and other vendors.
The Saskatoon Police Department were also in attendance and people could view their cruiser.
There were lots of children sporting face paint done by the talented SCYAP artists. Beeper the Clown did an amazing job with balloon animals and many children enjoyed the Art Caravan provided by the Mendel Art Gallery.
The Meadowgreen Community Association would like to thank all the volunteers for their help! Special acknowledgement goes to the Meadowgreen House of all Nations for their awesome work barbequing and the donation of meat and Saskatchewan Lotteries for the Community Grant which helps support the event!

Meadowgreen Clean-up!
Meadowgreen is green and clean! Let's all do our part! The Meadowgreen community clean-up was to take place on April 21st as part of the Earth Day Celebrations but it seems that the weather has other ideas with still three feet of snow along the roads and puddles everywhere you look.
As the snow melts and your road dries out we hope you will join your neighbors and friends and clean-up your part of Meadowgreen. See you all soon making Meadowgreen green and clean!
