Commemorative
Cross Replaced
St. Malo now has a new cross at the corner of Highway 218
and St. Malo Avenue.
Thank you to the following volunteers for their resources,
skills and time on this project: Hervé Marion, Jean Payette,
Dave & Aggie Gosselin, Marc Maynard, Gerald Maynard,
Emile & Lorraine Racine, and Maurice Comeault.
History:
On March 20, 1889 Dave Gosselin’s great grandparents,
Rémi & Éléonore (née Vertefeuille) Gosselin arrived in St.
Malo from Sainte-Rosalie, Quebec. Here on this corner
piece of land, they farmed and raised 14 children: Aimé,
Amanda, Alida, Rosilda, Robertine, Laura, Octave, Henri,
Rosa-Delphine, Anna, Anne-Marie, Bertha, Lucien, and
Georges.
This family erected a 24’ white cross approximately 60 years
ago and then the stone monument with plaque in 1989 (centennial anniversary of arrival). The white
cross was blessed and put up by the parishioners of the St. Malo Catholic Church as shown in the
old photograph below, courtesy of Denis Hébert. Some residents of our community were in attendance and remember that day.
This white cross had been repaired and repainted a
few times over the years and the St. Malo Chamber
of Commerce was planning on doing the same this
past June. However, the cross had deteriorated to
the point of needing replacement. As always the
volunteers in St. Malo stepped up to the plate and
within weeks our community had a brand new
cross, the bushes were trimmed, the grass cut and
flowers planted.
It is a wonderful historical site to remember the forefathers that came and established this great community of St. Malo. Take a moment to stop there
and have a look.

St. Malo Chamber of Commerce
President’s Report
Rapport du President
Il a certainement eu quelques semaines de chaleur au sud du Manitoba. Les cultures grandissent,
les touristes visitent nos plages et les entreprises dans le village et les gens locales se trouvent
quelques jours durant l’été pour relaxer.
Les administrateurs et membres de la Chambre ont travaillé sur:
Coordonner le remplacement de la croix sur l'autoroute 218 & l’avenue Saint-Malo
Tailler les buissons autour du monument des cerfs près du Chalet Malouin
Peinturage des bordures de trottoir sur l’avenue Saint-Malo & ave de la grotte
Assister à des événements d'été au nom de la Chambre
Travailler sur les articles du bulletin régional
La Chambre a eu un gros revers avec la perte de notre écrivain d’agriculture dans le Bulletin Régional, Roger Robert le 9 juillet. Il sera très difficile à remplacer Roger comme il était un individu unique. Par contre, nous aimerions vraiment continuer cette section d’agriculture et nous sommes à la
recherche d'un bénévole pour prendre la relève. Appelez-moi si vous êtes intéressé.
Des nouveaux projets donc la Chambre travaille sur
Réveillon du Nouvel An & Danse - ce sera une soirée «costumée » à la salle paroissiale donc
gardez cela à l'esprit pour vos célébrations le 31 décembre.
Dépliant de Saint-Malo - il s'agit d'un dépliant d’une plus grande taille avec une carte de la ville et
ses environs. Il aurait une légende identifiant l'emplacement des entreprises, l’école, l’aréna, le parc
provincial, le musée, etc. Des opportunités publicitaires seront disponibles.
En guise de conclusion voici quelque chose à penser:
La vie nous donne des MOMENTS où une leçon peut être apprise. Qu'avez-vous appris dernièrement?
President’s Report
It sure has been a warm few weeks in southern Manitoba. The crops are maturing, tourists are visiting our beaches and businesses in town and local folks are managing a few days of relaxation.
The Chamber Directors & Members have worked on:
Coordinating the replacement of the cross on HWY 218 & St. Malo Avenue
Trimming the bushes around the deer monument by the Chalet Malouin
Curb painting on St. Malo Avenue & Avenue de la Grotte
Attending summer events on behalf of the Chamber
Working on the Regional Bulletin articles
The Chamber had a big setback with the loss of our bulletin’s agricultural feature writer Roger
Robert. It will be very difficult to replace Roger as he was a unique individual but we would like to
keep this feature running, and are looking for a volunteer to take this over. Call me if you are interested.
New Projects the Chamber is working on
New Year’s Eve Dinner & Dance – this will be a ―dress-up‖ social evening at the church hall so
keep this in mind for your December 31st celebrations.
St. Malo Brochure – this is a proposed folding, larger size brochure with a map of the town and
nearby surrounding area. It would have a Legend identifying the location of businesses, school,
arena, Provincial Park, Museum etc. Advertising opportunities will be available.
In closing here is something to think about:
Life gives us MOMENTS when a lesson can be learned. What have you LEARNED lately?

In Memory of Roger Gilles Patrick Robert
On July 9, the community lost a truly remarkable man.
Roger Robert was the author of all of the St. Malo Regional Bulletin ―Spotlight on Agriculture‖ articles. He
was much more than an author. Roger was a man who
was loved and respected by his fiancée, Marlene, his
siblings, Chuck and Renée, his many family members
and friends, the farming community and all of those who
knew or came to know this smiling cheerful man.
Roger loved farming! He dedicated himself to serving
the farmers of this region to make their lives better.
Whether it was knowledgeable advice to a farming
friend, work through his job as a Farm Production Advisor or writing an article for our local bulletin, he cared
about the struggles all farmers encountered and did his
very best to help them. His last bulletin article in the July issue was a great example of how Roger
passed on his knowledge to help farmers improve their techniques and production. Roger gave.
Even when he was sick, tired and stressed to the max he still gave…. of himself, his time and his
knowledge. Roger was President of the St. Pierre Agricultural Society, Vice-President of the DeSalaberry Wind Energy Co-op, Captain of the St. Pierre Volunteer Fire Department and author to
many newspaper articles. He will be greatly missed by all of these organizations. From the St. Malo
& District Chamber of Commerce we send our sincere condolences to Rogers’ family and friends.
Our prayers are with you all.

Summer is here and so are the summer festivals. July brought us
the St. Pierre-Jolys Frog Follies and Agricultural Fair. The St. Malo
& District Chamber of Commerce was invited to participate in the
VIP Frog Jumping contest. I participated on behalf of the St. Malo
& District Chamber of Commerce. My frog, somewhat hesitant at
first to move off of the starting block, did end up (with encouragement) to take 3 big leaps for a respectable 102‖. This was not
enough to win the VIP
contest but was a very
respectable distance for a first time frog jumper.
Thank you St. Pierre Chamber of Commerce for inviting us to participate in your event. It was a very
nice afternoon of sunshine and fun.
The St. Malo & District Chamber of Commerce
sends congratulations to both St. Pierre Chamber of
Commerce and Agricultural Society for another successful summer festival in the RM of DeSalaberry.
