Mayor Paul Carol had many great things to say about his community of Beinfait, “Well, we’ve had a very exciting year, we’ve taken on a fairly large project with the new waste water disposal project and we have a good contractor and they are doing a really nice job. I think their right on schedule from what I’m told. And were pretty happy with that.”

Carol recalls the recent Rough Rider Block Party, “It was a booming success. The organizers did a great job at getting things going and the Rider Committee did a bang up job of entertaining people and entertaining. They visited and signed autographs, you know things like that. There were a lot of things to do for the kids and adults alike. It was well attended and people went away happy.”

In regards to upcoming infrastructure, “We’re looking to getting other street improvements done, a few spots were looking to improve with pavement and curbing. A couple spots where we set up water and sewer, we want to get to those spots. We do have a couple sidewalk projects were looking forward to getting done this year. But we do have a major project underway so we need to be careful of how much we spend.”

“Well, we have a wonderful new pool with a spray park built right into it. And the kids have been taking that in all summer long. And we have the museum open everyday and we’ve had many visitors through there. There’s a lot of history through here with all the mining and maps of all the smaller mines back in the day.” And Carol seems to be quite proud of the mining history that is quite prevalent in the community of Bienfait.

“We have a community that’s get along pretty well, they are active and keep things going through a volunteer basis. Through all of our service clubs and sporting activities. We have some really nice kids coming up through the school, we have a great school and were looking forward to more people moving into town. We have some great places to build a house and you have a great opportunity to move into town.” Carol’s hope is that you will feel welcome and join their community and have some fun.

So take a drive out to Bienfait and take in all that the town has to offer.
