Community

Hello, my name is Tazo! I am a very sweet, goofy boy. I would like to have space to run and play. I do love people, so having a place that's indoor and outdoor would be ideal. I would love to have kids to play with, and I do get along with dogs. I have started my vaccine process and am just waiting for my turn for my neuter, but that is all covered in my adoption fee. If you think I could be the dog for you, please call the shelter or stop by for details. Also, my canine application can be filled out online. 

Get ready, Pembina Valley, The first official RPM Festival—Rhythm, People, and Machines—is rolling in this Saturday, September 6th, from noon to 10:30 p.m. at Elias Woodwork & Manufacturing, nestled between Morden and Winkler. What started as a rocking 40th anniversary party for Elias Woodworking two years ago has now grown into a full-blown festival celebrating music, industry, and community.

The streets of Elie will come alive next weekend as the community hosts its sixth annual downtown car show. Head organizer Vince Gillis says the event takes place September 13 on Main Street, right across from the hotel, and promises a mix of classic vehicles, live music, and a lively atmosphere. 

“This year it’s called the Stunt Doubles. They're from Winnipeg. They're country and classic rock,” notes Gillis.
