Walking in the neighbourhood it is great to see all the improvements taking place. So much effort going into new paint, new siding, new lawns, landscaping, some gorgeous flowers, and even some water features. Our Range Lake neighborhood just keeps improving. Many homes have changed hands recently so welcome to those of you who are new to Range Lake.
Look up to the sky. The Yellowknife International Airshow takes place Saturday, July 24th. Gates open at 10am with the flying set to start at 11am. You can watch from the airport and take in the static displays. Always an exciting event.
Celebrating the wonderful neighbourhood we live in! I'd like to keep posting constituent news here at the blog. If you know a Range Lake Constituent (young or old) who has opened a business, done an art showing, done well at a sports competition, or are new to the neighbourhood (just to name a few examples) let's celebrate and share the news. Email me at RangeLakeMLA@theedge.ca. If your suggestion gets posted your name will be entered into a draw for a $25 gift certificate compliments of our Range Lake MLA Sandy Lee. Thanks!

The Legislative building is a great pitstop with out of town guests. Guided tours are held Monday to Friday at 10:30am, 1:30pm and 3:30pm. Sunday tours are held at 1:30pm. It's a great idea to combine a tour with a trip to the nearby Northern Frontier Visitors Centre and Prince of Wales Museum. Enjoy your summer.
