April 2nd is Worldwide Autism Awareness Day and it has been suggested that the residents of McAdam may like to recognise this event by putting a blue light outside their home.  If you are interested in showing your support on this day please let the Village office know by March 22nd.    The Village office will supply the blue light for a cost of approximately $4 – $6, dependent on the amount of interest shown.

This bird feeder was stolen recently and the owners would love to have it returned to them.  If you see it hanging around please contact the number shown or call the Village office.

The McAdam $1 Dollar Lot Initiative is going very well.  Since mid-November, we have received over 600 inquiries about the 16 lots and are responding to each on a first-come, first-served basis.  Due to the large number of applicants, we closed the application process during the middle of January 2019.  Of the first 86 applicants we have reached out to, we have sent legal offers to 11 with more offers to soon follow.  Interest in the $1 lots has also spurred increased potential for McAdam real estate purchases and new businesses.

Let’s hear it for the McAdam Warriors…………the team is off to the provincial finals on Friday 22nd February 2019 in Harbour Station, Saint John.  They have worked extremely hard and deserve their place in the finals…………GO WARRIORS!!!!
