Southeast Event Centre in-person Hiring Blitz on now at Clearspring Centre

“We need people who are adaptable, flexible, and have the ability and want to learn both professionally and personally in the arts, sports and live entertainment industry.”

This from Jeffrey Bannon, General Manager of the new Southeast Event Centre, set to open soon in the heart of Steinbach, Manitoba.

Keeping communities clean and healthy isn’t just a business for John Magee—it’s a mission rooted in his deep connection to Southwest Saskatchewan. Born and raised in a small town in the Southwest, John attended Gull Lake School and went on to play football with the Regina Thunder before entering the oilfield industry. However, his roots in Gull Lake and a family background in farming drew him back home to raise his family and start his own business. 

The friendly people at Steinbach Trailers & RV are excited to announce that they’ve just purchased Manitoba’s oldest RV dealership, Pik-A-Dilly RV Centre in Brandon!

Richard Kroeker from Steinbach Trailers & RV says that he’s looking forward to the adventure of adding another dealership to cover the western part of Manitoba.

Kroeker notes that in a very short period of time Steinbach Trailers has become one of south east Manitoba's largest dealerships.

“In Manitoba, distance shouldn’t be a barrier to cancer treatment.” 

This from Sharilyn Knox, Executive Director at Central Plains Cancer Services, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting cancer patients and their families across more than 70 communities in rural Manitoba.  

“We offer vital transportation services and a range of support programs, all made possible through the generosity of donations, community partnerships, and engaging fundraising events,” reveals Knox. 

Carpets For Less has been going strong in Winnipeg for more than 20 years. Which is why, when Dale Vencatasamy assumed ownership and operations in July, he didn’t want to mess with a good thing. 

“Operations-wise, we really haven’t changed that much,” says Vencatasamy. “We still offer the same products, and the people who worked under the previous owners are still here.” 

For Lisa Wolfe, a love of sewing first began when she was a girl.

“I’ve always been interested in fabric. I used to sew Barbie clothes by hand – just little things. When I was in my early 20s I started sewing small, simple things. But I’ve really upped my game in the last ten years, sewing as much as possible.”

So when the opportunity to purchase Winkler Fabrics presented itself, she and her husband jumped on it.

“It was very spur-of-the-moment, and it worked out!”

Clearview Co-op celebrated their newest Food Store’s Grand Opening this last week in Sainte Anne, and the response from the community has been remarkable.  

While construction began back in 2023, Clearview Co-op Senior Manager Gavin Walls shares that onlookers were gathering almost daily to check on the progress.  

“We had to keep leading people off the site to keep the area safe as a construction zone,” he laughs. "People were just so excited- it was a really good problem for us to have!” 

Social media has emerged as a powerful tool for individuals experiencing intellectual disabilities, offering numerous positive impacts that enhance their quality of life and promote inclusion.

One significant benefit is the opportunity for social connection. Platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram enable users to connect with friends, family, and support networks, fostering a sense of belonging and reducing feelings of isolation.

These are exciting times for Arcola Co-op. In June, it acquired Arcola Building Supplies Ltd., and it recently added a liquor section to the Gas Bar as part of a broader facility makeover.

Something that hasn’t changed amidst the business’s growth, however, is its commitment to a welcoming, customer-centred shopping experience.

Winter is on its way… FINALLY.  

Rather than spending your winter staring at the thermostat and reminiscing about your last sunburn, get outside with Avenue Honda Polaris. 

This business has been family-run for almost 45 years, specializing in powersport, utility, and lawn and garden vehicles. Owner Kirk Gyselinck is proud to note that the community turns to Avenue not only before hitting the trails, but also for increasing productivity and efficiency on their acreages and farms.
