The Beausejour Beautification Committee is looking for new volunteer members to attend our meetings this winter and inspire us with some fresh ideas for Projects to help beautify the Town of Beausejour. We will be discussing additions/improvements at Train-Whistle Park and Chryplywy Park, fundraising, as well as the possibility of establishing a hiking/biking trail through Beausejour.

Meetings are generally held at 7:00 PM on the first Monday of every month at the Beausejour Town Office. The remaining meetings in 2008 will be on October 6, November 3, and December 1.

The Town of Beausejour was incorporated on April 6, 1912, and the Centennial Committee is planning events to be hosted throughout the year of 2012, with the main celebration or homecoming weekend being tentatively scheduled for August 4, 5 & 6 of 2012. The slogan we have adopted uses our brand, Our Home-Your Home, Come Home in 2012. Beausejour was incorporated as a village from the RM of Brokenhead on November 5, 1908.
