The federal government, provinces, and territories have made a key change to AgriStability that will benefit producers.

Given the pressures and uncertainty facing the agricultural sector, they have agreed to extend the 2025 AgriStability enrolment deadline from April 30th to July 31st.

The extension gives producers more time to evaluate their needs and the potential impact to their farming operation for production losses, increased costs, and changing market conditions. 

This is the second change to the program as farmers deal with tariff issues.

What are the things that signify a Manitoba spring?  The sight and sounds of geese, the lawn taking on the faintest shade of green, and the little creepy crawlies that you feel making tracks up your leg in the middle of the night.

Brandon University professor in the Department of Biology, Dr. Bryan Cassone, has a keen interest in infectious diseases carried by both ticks and mosquitos.

Last week the Altona Community Foundation hosted one in a series of regional get togethers connecting Manitoba's 57 community foundations. Representatives from the Plum Coulee, Morris. Winkler and Morden Foundations participated. Staff from Endow Manitoba facilitated the meeting. A total of eleven conferences are being held, mostly in person, across the province.

At the core of every initiative, program, event, or other organized effort designed to help the community, there are volunteers.  

This week is the perfect time to celebrate the people — often in the background — who donate their time for the betterment of those around them during Volunteer Appreciation Week. 

After a short, intense and heated election campaign of just 35 days, Canadians go to the polls today to elect a new federal government.

Liberal Leader Mark Carney, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh spent weeks pitching their cases to voters.

Carney, the former central banker and political neophyte, presented himself as a safe pair of hands for a country threatened by U.S. President Donald Trump, while Poilievre focused on addressing crime and the high cost of living and Singh pushed to protect social programs he argued are under threat.
