Farmers in Manitoba are being called upon to aid critical research aimed at improving wheat production amid changing climate conditions. 

The University of Manitoba's "Mani Wheat Project," led by Dr. Cristina Rosell’s food science group, is gathering wheat samples from farmers to study the effects of pre-harvest sprouting, a significant issue caused by excessive rain and humidity before harvest.

This past Saturday, Oct. 19th, the Morden Activity Centre marked its 30th anniversary with live music, old-time pattern and line dancing, and all with the familiar flair of the 50’s and 60’s. 

A Legacy of Service 

According to Executive Director Wendy Dyck, the Morden Activity Center’s 30-year history speaks volumes about its impact.  

As Cybersecurity Awareness Month continues, so does the conversation on online and internet safety.

Cody Benson of La Salle was recognized as our province's High-Performance Coach of the Year at the 2024 Baseball Manitoba Awards Banquet held Saturday night in Brandon. 

Benson coached the 17U Provincial team this year.

The team included Ty Magarrell & Logan Lesser of Morden; Graham Thiessen & Hudson Nikkel of Stanley and Nate Lodewyks of La Salle.

These days, this practice has been called into question as people have begun to wonder what goes into a tiny pellet of kibble. There is widespread interest in moving toward more natural alternatives, but why, how, and is it really necessary? 

The Canadian Country Showcase, hosted by Courtney Fielder, airs every weekend on Saturdays at 12 PM and Sundays at 4 PM. Courtney engages in conversations with emerging country music artists and the established stars we’ve come to love, celebrating their milestones and new releases.

Officials with the Municipality of Rhineland hope they've rectified a problem-area along Road 8, just northwest of Altona. 
    
A section of the road has been raised about one meter in an effort to keep a handful of homes from becoming isolated when levels on the nearby Buffalo Creek get high.
