“People are loving it. They love the thin crust. They love our gluten-free crust. They love the fresh toppings. They love LOTS of cheese on the pizza… which we have. So far, it’s been a great journey, and people are loving it!” says Jas Thind about the newly opened local restaurant, Cochrane Pizza & Grill.

"Here, everything is made in-house. The dough, the sauce and the marinades. Short of a backroom garden or an on-site butcher shop, it’s all made right here."

Though representing different realty offices, three local realtors are united in their deep knowledge of, and support for, Portage and Central Plains.

Rhonda Lodwick from Century 21 Foxx Realty, Warren Neufeld from Royal LePage Portage Realty, and Peter Bracken from RE/MAX Valleyview Realty agree that their strongest advantage is what aligns them – their roots in their home community.

We are all in need of saving! I have had the opportunity to be a volunteer firefighter for about six years now. As a firefighter, I often see people when they are having the worst day of their life!

They got in a car accident, or their house and all their possessions were burned down because somebody was forgetful. These are the moments when people are lost and in tears, when they are hurting and looking for somebody to save them!

Water is life – and water stewardship is a critical part of ensuring Manitoba is sustainable for future generations.

“Healthier watersheds mean we have clean drinking water, productive fisheries, really great outdoor recreation,” says Jennifer Corvino, Project Manager at Redboine Watershed District. “All of that helps support us in our economy, our environment, and our quality of life.”

As the board and staff work toward a gradual opening of the new facility, Small Town Kids Daycare in Rosenort is hiring for a variety of roles.

"Well, it's a pretty big building," explained daycare director Terry Ginter, noting the facility is located in the new Prairie Hearth development. "There are six play rooms. We have two infant rooms, three preschool rooms and a room they call a transition room for older infants and younger toddlers. We have a full kitchen, laundry room, staff room. It's pretty nice."

Starting October 19, leaders from across Canada will have the opportunity to engage with topical instruction, executive coaching, and networking through a new offering from Homefield People & Strategy.
