T
he Minnedosa and
Area Community De-
velopment Corporation
have welcomed a new face
to its office. Martijn van
Luijn has recently been
acquired in the role of interim Economic Develop-
ment Officer.
Following Sandra Ingenmeys leave from the posi-
tion, the CDC board of directors took careful consid-
eration before contracting Luijn as a consultant for a
six-month period.
Luijn immigrated to Canada from Holland a num-
ber of years ago and has been living in Dauphin for the
past 13 years with his wife, Kelly, who owns and oper-
ates a photography business and their three children
Kai (21), Jacobi (6), and Lief (2).
In Holland I lived in a very big city and since im-
migrating to Canada I have been living in rural Mani-
toba and have really grown to love it, commented
Luijn.

Minnedosas tourist gem, the lake and beach have
been a popular spot this summer. Whether its relaxing
on the beach, boating or swimming, the lake is certainly a
busy family attraction during the hot summer months.
Summer holidays are winding down with schools
scheduled to open on September 3rd.
A Popular
Hangout

I am eager to begin
working towards
fostering existing
business, building
existing industry
and attracting new
business to town
