MICHEL-NATAL - BEGINNINGS - Community Spirit
The importance of community spirit should not be
overlooked in understanding the pride and happiness former
residents of Michel-Natal still feel when discussing the "good
old days".
Community spirit also played an important role in the
culture of the twin communities - it offered a means for
the citizens to forget about the stresses and hassles of
living in a coal-mining town. It also forged a distinct
identity, made up of a sense of pride and closeness with
their often times dirty and smoky hometown.
Though the buildings of Michel-Natal may be gone the
community spirit built up in the early years survives to
this day.
