Work continues on the Daycare and Community Kitchen. In April they installed the water and sewer lines and also built the entry way into the Daycare.

In April you should have received a mail out from the Daycare advising that they are now accepting resumes for positions. They are also asking that you contact Sveta Lagun or a board member with enrollment possibilities, including part-time or occasional, as they need this information for planning.

For more information on the Daycare please visit their webpage at www.pangman.ca/pangman-daycare or email them at pangmandaycare@gmail.com .

It later moved to the building where the current Post Office is located. Later it moved to the present site of the Service Station. The earliest minutes on record are from 1944. In 2005 the Pangman Co-op opened the grocery store and at 2010 year end the grocery store has a black bottom line before FCL patronage.
