#ilovemyhometown <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small towns may not be for everyone, but they have some exceptionally unique qualities that simply can not be found anywhere else.\u00a0 If you love the outdoors, the Lac La Biche region is the place for you!\u00a0 The open spaces, beautiful lakes and rivers, surrounding forests and peacefulness is why I love where I live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a little background; my timeline:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born in Lac La Biche<\/li>
Raised in Breynat\/Wandering River<\/li>
Went to Wandering River School & Plamondon High School & Portage College x 2<\/li>

Resident of Lac La Biche for over 20 years now. (I did move away and lived in a couple of cities for a few years, so I know that small town life is for me.)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
What is great about our small towns?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, I put some thought into this.\u00a0 When thinking, I usually turn to music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMusic is the soundtrack of your life.\u201d\u00a0 \u2013 Dick Clark<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
There are so many meaningful songs about small towns!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Round Here Buzz \u2013 Eric Church<\/li>
Small Town Saturday Night \u2013 Hal Ketchum<\/li>
May We All \u2013 Florida Georgia Line<\/li>
Castle on the Hill \u2013 Ed Sheeran<\/li>
My Hometown \u2013 Bruce Springsteen<\/li>
My Town \u2013 Glass Tiger<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Small Town by John Mellancamp really says it all: <\/strong>\nWell, I was born in a small town\nAnd i live in a small town\nProbably die in a small town\nOh, those small town communities<\/em>\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
This is what I find is so great about small towns: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friendly people<\/li>
Not much for traffic (2 stop light town)<\/li>
Always available parking<\/li>
No need for GSP; except for the odd garage sale<\/li>
Relaxed and quiet shopping<\/li>
Small schools<\/li>
Fresh air<\/li>
Open spaces<\/li>
Beautiful skies to see the stars and northern lights<\/li>
Slower pace<\/li>
Cost of living is slightly lower<\/li>
Small businesses support our community<\/li>
Non-profit groups are more active <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
What I found that I couldn\u2019t put on my list right now was: sense of community. It\u2019s definitely been a tough past few years. \u00a0 But, even before COVID, with social media being such a big part of our lives, it is hard to meet people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you were raised here and grew up here; you knew everyone and everyone knew you.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know how many times I\u2019ve heard \u201cYou know them.\u201d\u00a0 (Not a question by the way.)\u00a0 Well, I might have heard of them, but never\u00a0 actually met them to say I knew them.\u00a0 Everyone knows everyone is not the case anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volunteering for me was a way to help out, but also to get together with other people who shared your interest. \u00a0 Volunteer groups keep getting smaller and smaller.\u00a0 What lots of people do not realize is in order for our community to have lots of events (that are not put on by our County, which is doing a pretty good job) we need our local groups.\u00a0 If they do not have volunteers, they can not put on activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With Your Local Buzz; a place for people to go and see what our wonderful communities have to offer; I am hopeful things pick back up again.\u00a0 Events, fundraisers, sports, opportunities to get out, visit and meet people and support one another; because what is really great about small towns is the sense of community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bring the wind to carry me over\nLead me home to my town\nTell me when that breeze is blowin\u2019 \nTakin\u2019 me home to my tow<\/em>n.\n My Town - Glass Tiger<\/strong>\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
