The Eatonia Oasis Players lit up the stage at the Eatonia Community Hall this past weekend with their production of Exit Laughing, a heartfelt and hilarious comedy that left audiences both roaring with laughter and unexpectedly misty-eyed.

This egg is definitely a bit further away from Humboldt.

It is nuzzled under a fence where you might sit and learn a bit about this place.

Nearby you can get some delicious baked goods too! 

Find this egg and bring it to the station to claim your prize! 

The Pat Porter Active Living Centre (PPALC) in Steinbach has become much more than just a place for activities—it's a gathering spot where community members, young and old, come together.  

One of the most heartwarming aspects of the centre’s success has been the connection with Steinbach Pistons players, who volunteer their time and form deep relationships with the people who visit the centre. 

Athletes in Action has officially opened registration for their summer sports camps in Steinbach, and new programs are being offered this year. 

Steve Klassen, Regional Director for Manitoba, says Athletes in Action is a sports ministry that operates programs across the country. 

“We operate under the umbrella of Power to Change Ministries if you're more familiar with that.". 

According to Food Banks Canada's HungerCount report for 2024, Saskatchewan's food bank use has risen 42% since 2019. Just shy of 53,000 people had to turn to a food bank last year -- with 21,000 of them being children. About 2.1 million people across the country accessed a local food bank last year. 

The need to help our local food bank is there. The Salvation Army Food Bank in Estevan has served the community for years, providing meals for those who need the help.

The annual Wash-A-Thon is back this April at Suds Zone in Estevan, raising money in support of the St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation and its mission to bring an MRI machine to the community.

With Easter just around the corner, chocolate is all the rage. In our household, it's good to make sure we're plenty stocked up of mini eggs, cream eggs, large chocolate bunnies(OK, this is my personal list). And of course, all the goodies the Easter bunny chooses to leave all around the house too.

But of course, that got me thinking about my own personal favorite when it comes to snack/junk food. Yes yes, I know 'junk food is bad.' But seriously, if you can't enjoy something from time to time, that's just not fair. You only live once. Have a bag of chips once in a while!

The McCafé Coffee Break made a special stop at Cochrane Emergency Training Services (CETS) today, bringing hot coffee and warm smiles to the dedicated team who spend their days teaching life-saving skills.

The team was nominated here and it was these kind words that won the entire team fresh coffee and cookies! 

“I had no idea how much I didn’t know until I took that class!”
