First of all, if you haven’t been to TimberFalls yet, what are you waiting for? Their tenth anniversary? If so, you’re in luck. 

“We're celebrating our ten-year anniversary June 2nd to 4th, so that whole weekend we're having a lot of sales and deals, it’s going to be a big party!” 

This from Shae Jabs, one of the managers at TimberFalls Store & Carwash in Steinbach.  

Follow the number 12 south for a little over an hour, and you’ll find yourself arriving at one of the most extraordinary hidden gems of the southeast: Buffalo Point Resort.  

“It's a peninsula with over seven miles of beaches,” says Marketing Manager Landon Kroeker. “It’s the only piece of Manitoba that juts out onto Lake of the Woods.”  

The resort boasts miles of nature trails, a large 280-slip marina, and Lake of the Sandhills – an 18-hole golf course that was ranked in the top three best value golf courses in Canada in 2018 by Golf Advisor.  

Drivers may want to keep an eye out for groups of cyclists as they head to the Whiteshell next month. On Saturday, June 3rd, supporters of Red Rock Bible Camp will be riding down Highways 15 and 44 as part of the 54th annual fundraising Cyclathon.

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.
