Looking to take a vacation this summer? Want to support local?

The See More Canada Online Auction is here with our friends at Best Western Hotels & Resorts.

Here's are jus a few of the items you can bid on:

As wildfires continue to affect northern Manitoba, some of your communities may be hosting evacuees who have been displaced from their homes.

These individuals and families may be staying in local hotels or campgrounds or receiving care in local health centres or personal care homes.

Some people may also be staying in your community to be near their loved ones who have been transferred to Prairie Mountain Health facilities.

During this stressful and uncertain time, it is important that we work together to make evacuees feel welcome and supported. 

A young baker from Sarto is turning her love of cookies and pies into something much bigger this week — a fundraiser for a family in need. 

Seventeen-year-old Caitlin Penner, known to many as The Tiny Baker, will be holding a bake sale on Friday, June 6 at Clearspring Centre in Steinbach. The event is in support of her former co-worker, Lena Friesen, whose husband Andrew has been in critical care on life support for more than a month due to a life-threatening heart condition. 

The order that Noelle Drimmie and her family thought would never came was given at the end of the school day. 

“We sort of went into adrenaline mode and we put those bags in the car,” she recalls. “You get cash, you get gas, and you just hope for the best.”

It's Throwback Thursday - just a minute to remember the good old days.

I'm thinking of an old childhood friend today. It's his birthday. Why I remember, how I remember that I don't know. We haven't really stayed in touch. We've exchanged an email or two over the years, but I haven't seen him for about 30.

Funny, though, I can still tell you the telephone number I'd call to talk to him when we were in grade 3 in 1973. 

In fact, I can recite the landline telephone numbers for a number of my old pals from elementary school.

Yesterday morning the Fire Commissioners Office (OFC) made arrangements and sent a plane to Deloraine and picked up two members of the Deloraine-Winchester Fire Department (Tyson Lehman and Rylan Rommelaere) along with two members from Killarney’s Fire Department and headed north to help out with the wildfires.

They landed in Pukatawagan and were then transported by military helicopter to Flin Flon.
