A Friday off work, a round of golf, a group of friends and colleagues (some with better handicaps than others) and a sunny day (hopefully) – could there be a better way to support healthcare in the community? 

True, high-speed internet service for rural Manitobans is a reality, thanks to Xplore. Now those who prefer a more pastoral lifestyle can enjoy the same internet speeds as their urban counterparts.  

On May 17th and 18th, the Critical Care on the Air Radiothon for STARS brought our community together to support this essential, life-saving service.

The event raised $107,628 for STARS, thanks to the generosity of our online readers and radio listeners.

As the Provincial Director for STARS Manitoba, Grant Therrien, oversees a lot of what all goes on at the STARS base in Winnipeg.

Every once in a while he gets to spend some time in the helicopter as he's also a flight paramedic.

Eldon Wallman is picking a side: he is “pro-mulching”.

“It's one of the better things you can do for your lawn at home,” he says. “It’s a much better alternative to putting bags of grass at the end of your driveway.”

As the Head of Solid Waste for the City of Steinbach, Wallman and his team are encouraging citizens to mulch their lawns instead of bagging clippings. It’s all part of a greater effort to create healthier landfills across North America.

They say time flies when you’re having fun and for Scott Penner, owner and lead pharmacist at Pharmasave in Steinbach, winter was a whirlwind of excitement.

The name Heier Designs has been an integral part of community life here in the southeast. And all that is about to change.
