SLMHC is in a similar boat as LWDH, both medical facilities are working hard to avoid service disruptions this summer.  

Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre (SLMHC), along with their community health partners, announced on June 30, that they are pursuing all possible options to keep their Emergency Room doors open.  

There's one prevailing piece of advice when it comes to managing air travel in 2022: "pack your patience." But as flight cancellations and delays continue, there are also some steps you can take to make the process as smooth as possible, industry insiders say. From avoiding peak times to packing a luggage tracker, here are their tips. 

Preparation starts at home

Before you head to the airport, make sure you have all your documentation in order, said Leila Lavaee, the founder of a Toronto-based travel agency. 

This week's REMR Roofing Person of the Week is Katie Jackson!

Katie was nominated by Ashley Norlund, who wrote in part:

"Katie is one of my best friends and also a guidance counselor at TA high school. She pours her heart and soul into her work and all the amazing students she works with. She has worked so hard on events at TA like pride, prom and the grad ceremony. She’s loving and positive and the most caring and genuine person I know and I’m so lucky to call her my friend."

Even though the water level on Lake of the Woods has begun to peak, wakes still remain an issue for many waterfront property owners.  

Since we last spoke with Ernie Norlund in early June, he and his family have continued to deal with boaters throwing large wakes causing water to overtake his property.

Just since our last interview, Norlund says he has added a couple hundred more sandbags to his sandbag wall.

The Winnipeg Jets did some in-house work during the Canada Day long weekend by announcing the hiring of Rick Bowness as the third head coach since they relocated to Winnipeg. The 67-year-old Bowness spent most of the past three N-H-L seasons coaching Dallas, leading led the Stars to the 2020 Stanley Cup Final in the playoff bubble in Edmonton, where the Stars lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Shelli Fryer was wide awake at 2:54 on Canada Day and hoped the stack of messages piling up in recent days could help her close her eyes.

The 59-year-old Langford, B.C., woman said she's been having trouble sleeping since Tuesday when she was among those held hostage during a violent bank shooting in Saanich. 

The messages pouring in since then, she said, have offered some of the comfort she's sought and commended her bravery during the ordeal.
