Tim Hortons Camp Day is back on Wednesday, July 16th, with all proceeds from hot coffee, iced coffee, specialty Camp Day donuts, and bracelets going toward sending local youth to life-changing camp experiences.

Summer and music are a classic pairing. 

Winkler’s Concerts in the Park series is one perfect opportunity to take in both. The weekly series will return on July 16th with a genre that can delight the soul as much as the ear — praise and worship.  

The music will be courtesy of Winkler-based King’s Worship at Bethel Heritage Park. 

Summer is in full swing at the South Central Regional Library's Winkler branch, and summer programmer John Burnabe is helping bring a whole new level of excitement to reading and learning.

Burnabe began in June and has already built lasting memories. "My most memorable thing working there right now is actually working at the workshops with the kids… building relationships and having fun with them."

He added, "With the program we're doing, I feel like it's really up there. It really helps motivate them to read."

This past weekend brought the heat—and a whole lot of winning! Congratulations to Dee Brandt of Winkler, the lucky winner of the Morden Home Hardware Rockin’ Summer Weekend Blitz!

The annual pace of inflation accelerated to 1.9 per cent in June as consumers were paying more at car dealerships, Statistics Canada said Tuesday.

The June price hike is up from 1.7 per cent in May and was largely in line with economists’ expectations.

StatCan said gasoline prices were nearly unchanged in June as higher crude oil prices and geopolitical conflicts ratcheted up pressure at the pumps. Motorists saw a steeper monthly decline in prices this time last year, which the agency said led to a rise in headline inflation.
