Imagine owning a slice of the stunning Rocky Mountains in Golden, BC while earning a return on your investment. For those living in Cochrane – just a few hours away – this dream is now within reach!

Pinnacle Lifestyles Resorts has a vision to enhance the outdoor lifestyle RV experience. It’s why we were founded in 2020, and after only a few years it’s already expanded to seven properties. It’s an eager market. (Founded in 2020, Pinnacle Lifestyles has already expanded to seven properties, proving it's an eager market.)

You know it’s true. They know it’s true. Alberta meat is just superior. This superior product will get yet another upgrade when it arrives at The Butchery Block in Cochrane.

Butcher and owner Shane Wolbaum opened this business only a few years ago, pursuing his passion through partnerships with like-minded craftspeople and local ranches.

“It’s superior because of the local ranchers. They’re taking care of these animals properly- they’re not just another number. Plus, everything is local.”

"We’re still quite young, so we get a lot of enjoyment out of people discovering our business.” 

Need a specific tool to get the job done? Dead Horse Sales and Rentals can help.  

The company opened back in 2023, when owners Annie and Barry Wiebe recognized the need for a construction equipment rental company to operate within Morden. Before this time, Morden residents had to travel to Winkler to find the required gear.  

“If our community works together, we will see an end to homelessness.”

This from Leona Doerksen, Founder and Board Chair of The INN (Initiative for Neighbourly Nights) – a shelter that will provide immediate low-barrier transitional housing for up to 18 months.

“That’s a big vision,” she admits. “But that’s what visions are. If we work on prevention, I believe we can do it.”

Of course, The INN is just one piece of the homelessness puzzle, but she is confident that the other pieces will come together.

In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month this November, Genesis House has renewed its partnership with the South Central Regional Library for the annual "Power of the PJ’s" campaign, aimed at supporting individuals in crisis.

Wouldn’t it be nice if your one-time gift could keep creating revenue for local charities, for years to come? That’s exactly what the Steinbach Community Foundation does. Executive Director Lynda Lambert explains.

“Community foundations are all about legacy and longevity and sustainability of your region, forever. So with the Steinbach Community Foundation, 100% of your gift is invested. We do not take any fees off it. And then every year interest is earned, and that’s the money we get to grant. So your gift will be part of a different local project every year, to infinity.”

The date is set - Agape Table will officially break ground at their new location on Friday, Nov. 15. 

The non-profit currently serves meals out of the basement of The Wave Church at 364 Furby Street in Winnipeg.  

“We’re moving right beside where we are right now,” says executive director Jim Steep. “We’re at 364 Furby, but our offices are at 356 Furby, and right beside that, at 350 Furby is where the new building will be.”  

“I’m not sure how we will survive as a business.”

With construction season plans stretching far ahead, small businesses on the corner of Highway 12 and Loewen Boulevard are feeling the strain.

“It was a big hit,” says Jatin, owner of Pita Pit. “When we were told that there would be construction, we knew that things were going to be really, really tough for us.”

Many travellers know the drill.

Passport? Check. Wallet? Check. Keys? Check. And then there might be sunglasses, hygiene products, medications and any number of important items you’d prefer to keep on your person. You’d also like to return to your hotel or AirBnB – or home – with everything you packed.

At the same time, you’d prefer not to look like a pack mule. You’ve reached that tourist’s conundrum: “I need to keep my belongings safe, but I also want to feel like a person.”

Thankfully, U.N. Luggage has the solution.

November is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. And while most people would rather not engage in a conversation about DV, it's a prevalent issue for many in the Southeast. At Agape House, they see that impact firsthand.
