GRAVELBOURG — Gravelbourg Mayor Matt Forest, honours local business who have shined, both in national and international exposure.
“On behalf of the Town of Gravelbourg, I want to express how proud and honoured we are to see local individuals and businesses receiving national and international recognition. These recent moments in the spotlight not only showcase the remarkable talents and entrepreneurial spirit in our community. They also affirm the unique contributions small towns like ours make to the broader cultural and economic fabric of Saskatchewan and Canada.”
The mayor also acknowledges, “We are especially thrilled that Gravelbourg Mustard was featured on CityTV’s Flat Out Food series and included in the prestigious gift presentation to His Majesty King Charles III by Her Honour, Lt.-Gov.or Bernadette McIntyre. This is an extraordinary achievement for a local business, and it puts a global spotlight on Gravelbourg’s strong agricultural roots and innovative food production.”
Mayor Forest also acknowledges Mariette Anderson, resident of Gravelbourg, has an equally inspiring story, as her beautifully hand-knit scarves were gifted to King Charles and Queen Camilla, through the lieutenant-governor’s recent trip and presentation.
“Her work not only represents the exceptional talent in our community but also highlights the depth of our connection to sustainable, locally sourced materials and craftsmanship. We celebrate Mariette and the local and regional businesses — like the Canadian Fibre Mill — that made this contribution possible.”
The mayor proudly ascertains that Gravelbourg has long been known for its cultural richness and community spirit.
“Our business community, made up of passionate and hardworking entrepreneurs, continues to punch well above its weight. From agriculture and food production to arts, culture, and small business innovation, every individual and business in our town contributes to a larger story of resilience, pride, and success.”
Forest affirms that these recognitions are more than symbolic. They’re a testament to what’s possible when local passion meets global opportunity.
“We are proud to be part of that story.”
