With harvest just getting underway across the Prairies, farmers are being reminded to think about safety when working with grain. The Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) is urging farmers to prioritize safety around grain handling with the launch of its fifth annual Be Grain Safe Week.

The second season is underway at Altona's Gallery in the Park, with Winnipeg based painter Hollande Bezan's exhibition Return to the farm installed on the main floor of the Schwartz House.

The works honour her family’s agricultural roots which are anchored just north of Inglis. The paintings explore over a century of connection to the land, honouring the Bezan family and its enduring farming legacy through five generations.

It was a celebration Saturday as friends of The Ice Cream Hut came out to celebrate the iconic Altona burger joint's 50th anniversary.

"It's been here forever," said Vanessa when asked why she and Darryl made the move to buy the restaurant just a few years ago. 

"It's an icon in Altona so, why wouldn't you want to be a part of that?" added Darryl.
