The new community recreation development officer has been on the job in Delorainer-Winchester for about one month.

Jennifer McMechan has lived in Deloraine for a number of years and jumped at the chance to take on the new job. “I have a background with a bachelors in business of event management and I have a diploma in tourism and marketing.”

McMechan says she is busy lining up summer programs, working on fund raising for the new hall and curling club complex and she’s also planning some summer events. “The next big one will be the town wide garage sale on June 16th.”

She also likes the challenge of working with two main parts of the municipality and that’s the town itself and those people living at Lake Metigoshe. “We’ve got two great locations with a bit of distance between so in the end we just have to compromise and keep everyone happy while trying to get everyone mingling at both locations.”
