The Rural Voice, 2000-04, Page 47concept was born during a
. conversation at the local general
store when one person said they
could look after ice cleaning one
week if others could look after it
other weeks.
And the community spirit has
helped build the community
in other ways. Back in the
1980s Walter Renwick had another
idea: a local non-profit housing
project. Late in 1987 the shovels
went in the ground and today the neat
one -storey complex is still run by a
local board.
These community -owned
buildings remain the heart of the tiny
community that otherwise consists of
a store, a restaurant, a feed mill and a
small number of houses.
On April 6 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00
p.m. and April 8 from 10:00 a.m. to
4:00 p.m. the community will go to
work again, making Belmore a centre
of attraction for a couple of days,
raising money for local projects and,
most important, creating the
community spirit that has made
Belmore name itself "the hamlet with
a heart".0
