The Memory Garden Project
“ Hopeful Dreams entwined with Patience & Time”
Roland Community is building a walker, wheelchair friendly Memory Garden on the lot between the church and the post office. (This is not a church-related project.)
The aim is to beautify our town and to honour past friends and relatives.
Your input is welcome in the form of physical labour and monetary donations. Take advantage of this opportunity to meet and work with your neighbor as we take pride in improving our community. Many hands make light work.
There will be three (3) areas to recognize donors:
- A Memory Wall to display name plates in memory of a friend or family member, at a cost of $75.00 each. ie. Mary & Tom Jones or Family of Ed Brown.
- A Visionary Donor Wall to display name plates recognizing donations made over $75.00 towards the development or maintenance of the project.
- Corporate Donors will also be recognized by a name plate.
Cheques may be made payable to the R.M. of Roland with a notation for the Memory Garden. Tax deductable receipts will be issued for all donations.
Thank you for your support.
For further information or to offer assistance in the spring, planting shrubs and flowers, building the arbor, etc. please contact a committee member - Jean, Roy, Gertie, Eileen, Chris, Lauren, or the R.M. office.

Rural Properties within the RM of Roland are now easier to locate. The new Civic Address Signs have been placed by our Volunteer Fire Department.
WINTER PARKING BAN
Villages of Roland and Myrtle
- Parking on public streets and boulevards is prohibited during and after snowfall events which will require snow clearing operations - parked vehicles cause snow accumulation and hinder snow removal. Vehicles parked on streets and lanes during snow removal will be towed at the owners expense.
- Residents should be utilizing their own property for parking vehicles.
- Please DO NOT push driveway or sidewalk snow onto the roadways or into the drainage ditches.
We would also like to remind our residents and business owners that they are responsible for keeping the snow clear from the sidewalks adjacent to their property.
Your cooperation in facilitating snow removal is greatly appreciated.
