Hey there, time traveller!

The owners and staff of the The Russell Inn Hotel and Conference Centre have shown their support for the Russell Multiplex project with a donation of $100,000 toward the multi-use facility.
Partners Daymon Guillas, Spencer Reavie and Greg Nesbitt, along with several managers and staff, recently made the presentation to Russell Mayor Chris Radford and members of the multiplex staff.
"Over the past 27 years the shareholders — Harold Clement, Lynn Spurway, Jim McFeetors, Dick Mulder, Ken Reavie, Bob Cross, Orest Sedun, Greg Nesbitt, Spencer Reavie and myself — through culture and vision have been able to grow the company by showing leadership in our community and by giving back," said Guillas, who is the managing partner. "And we have always been very proud to do so."
Guillas said he believes a facility like what is being created in Russell — which is a two-hour drive northwest of Brandon — will lead to many more entertainment options in the community, which in turn is good for business for the hotel and other Russell businesses.
"This investment in this recreation facility will ensure Russell and area has a complex to be proud of," said Guillas. "In turn we see the community growing which will provide spinoff benefits to area business ensuring future job creation."
Guillas also said the tremendous expansion of the potash mines in Rocanville and Esterhazy, as well as the oil and gas developments in the area will bring more people to Russell and area.
Spencer Reavie acknowledged the commitment by Russell Town Council towards revitalizing Main Street, of which the multiplex is a key component.
"They (the council) made a commitment of $1.5 million to help revitalize our main street," said Reavie. "This project when complete will be stunning and will become an attraction to make sure our main street businesses not only stay viable but grow and it also adds to the quality of life for all citizens and increases everyone’s home values and business values."
