Steinbach

Saturday is going to be a special day as U9 baseball teams from around the southeast and the province head to Mitchell for a fun event, the Baseball Jamboree.

"We're really happy with the turnout this year," an excited Byron Dueck explains. "We have 28 teams, represented by 13 different communities, all the way from Vita, Niverville, La Broquerie and even a team from Winnipeg. It's a great way to get together, play against some different competition, there is no score kept so everyone can just enjoy a great day of baseball."

Country 107 loves to highlight the great things happening in our community — and the incredible people doing them. Like Caitlin Penner, The Tiny Baker from Sarto. She joined the Country 107 Morning Show served up by A&W Steinbach, where she dished out more than just baking tips. 

The 2025 Manitoba 55+ Summer Games came to a close in Steinbach on Wednesday after three full days of friendly competition, community spirit, and a lot of purple volunteer shirts.

More than 1,000 participants from across the province registered for this year’s event, which included slo-pitch, golf, bocce, pickleball, and the debut of beach volleyball as a demonstration sport.

Doug Graham, co-chair of the games, says the event went smoothly overall, thanks to the efforts of dedicated volunteers and the support of the community.

Some Manitoba residents who have taken refuge in Niagara Falls, Ont., after fleeing wildfires raging in their province say they're grateful for the hospitality but worry they won't have a home to return to once the flames die down.

Kelly Ouskun says he saw so much fire and smoke along the highway on the drive from his family's home in Split Lake to Thompson, about 145 kilometres away, that he felt "nauseated" and his eyes hurt.

This weekend features some of the first rodeos and fairs of the summer. If you’re looking for something to do, head to one of the many events going on across the southeast.

We will be at three events this weekend, so don't forget to find the Dairy Queen Celebrate Summer Jeep and answer the weekly question for a chance to win an electric STIHL leaf blower from the Rental House!   

"It's a very serious situation." That from Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew in an update on the province's wildfire situation Thursday, who says fire fighters from across Manitoba and beyond continue to blazes on several fronts. 

As of Thursday morning, Kinew said there were 16,800 evacuees registered in Manitoba. Many of which have been put up in hotels across Manitoba, occupying about 1,700 rooms. 

He added, it's been great to see people step up and provide donations, volunteer at shelters and even take evacuees into their homes. 

A Mitchell man who owns and operates Wilderness Edge Retreat and Conference Centre in Pinawa, says urgent help is needed to care for evacuees who are coming to stay on site.

Kevin Penner says he spoke with the Red Cross Thursday morning, and learned evacuees were being sent to Ontario and beyond because of space issues in Manitoba.

The Manitoba government delivered a wildfire update today, June 5. 

The provincial state of emergency remains in effect, with 21 communities having declared local states of emergency and more than 18,000 evacuees now registered. There are likely many more evacuees who have not registered with the Canadian Red Cross.
