Noel Gautron is once again the People's Party of Canada (PPC) candidate for Provencher.

Gautron says the first time he ran for the PPC was for a Winnipeg riding in 2019, then ran again in 2021 for Provencher.

"A bit about myself: (I'm a) firearms enthusiast, classic car lover, and small business owner," he says, adding the reason he got into politics was to offer better political representation.

There are several issues top of mind for him as he takes to the campaign trail.

The Morden Eagles Female Soccer programs are ready for another season and manager Tania Sigurdson is ready to get back out onto the pitch.

"Super pumped," Sigurdson says with excitement. "Very happy to see the fields so far are pretty dry, and hopefully that means we can get out a bit sooner. Currently, we are still running our winter training program indoors at the Winkler Meridian Exhibition Centre, so we're still quite busy with indoor training, but we're certainly excited to get back onto the pitch."

Have you ever heard of pysanka? It’s an ancient tradition of decorating eggs with intricate designs, and Yevgeniya Tatarenko is a master of this stunning Ukrainian art. For over 25 years, Tatarenko has been perfecting her pysanka skills, teaching others how to bring their own creative visions to life through this unique method.

“I love to explore. I love to learn,” says Tatarenko. “And every time I learn something new, I love to share it.”

A typical day in the Leparq Pizzeria kitchen begins several hours before opening, with the mixing, portioning and proofing of the sourdough.

“We prepare our sourdough fresh every day, ensuring consistently high quality and flavour,” says Sheila Cabildo. “Meanwhile, a pot of milk slowly transforms into rich, creamy ricotta cheese. We also carefully wash and prepare our salad ingredients in advance.”

The Manitoba government is putting up $13 million for a centre aimed at helping grain producers find new international trading partners.

Cereals Canada, a national industry group, announced plans last year for a new $100-million facility in downtown Winnipeg called the Global Agriculture Technology Exchange.

There’s something special happening at Winkler Arts & Culture this summer—The Faces of Winkler 2025 exhibit is back, and this year it’s focused on celebrating relationships, belonging, and newcomer stories through local art.

This year’s exhibit is a collaboration with the Pembina Valley Local Immigration Partnership (PV LIP), and the theme is “Stories of Our Neighbours.” It’s all about highlighting the connections between people—especially when one is newer to the community, and the other has been here for a while.

The defending MJHL champions have been pushed to the edge by the Northern Manitoba Blizzard and after falling in game three 3-1, they trail in the series 3-0.
