Steinbach

Country star Jess Moskaluke is ready to bring the heat to southern Manitoba this weekend, and fans should expect more than just great music—they’re in for a high-energy experience packed with heart, humour, and maybe a few surprises. 

Moskaluke joined the Country 107 Morning Show served up by A&W Steinbach ahead of her Saturday night performance at the Niverville Fair. She hits the main stage at 9:30 p.m., and if you think touring is all glitz and glam, she is here to set the record straight. 

As the Hanover School Division (HSD) continues to grow, so does the need for space—including within the division's administration building.

Joe Thiessen, superintendent of HSD, says that while the current building on Chrysler Gate is excellent, it has reached capacity, and the division is recognizing the need for expansion.

They are beginning to assess what that might involve.

Winnipeg Goldeyes right-hander Landen Bourassa (L, 2-3) turned in another outstanding effort Thursday night, tossing his second complete game of the season in a narrow 2-1 loss to the Kane County Cougars (11-13) at Blue Cross Park.
 
Bourassa, who leads the American Association with 41.2 innings pitched, surrendered just one earned run on five hits while striking out six and walking none. The Lethbridge, Alberta native continues to be a workhorse for the Goldeyes’ rotation.

The Liberal government has introduced legislation aimed at cutting down barriers to internal trade by recognizing provincial and territorial rules at the federal level.

Officials who briefed reporters this morning say the goal is to reduce the number of redundant standards across the country.

They say that, for example, a company that produces washing machines that meet a provincial energy efficiency standard won't have to meet a separate federal standard to sell outside that province.

In 2023, as Canada suffered through its worst-ever wildfire season, the federal government was looking at creating a national disaster response agency.

Two years later, the country is again facing another summer of wildfires. There is still no sign of such an agency, though governments are tapping the private sector to help with evacuations.

Ali Asgary, a York University professor of disaster and emergency management, said the work to establish a national agency is "unfortunately … not going as fast as our crises are going."

Saturday is going to be a special day as U9 baseball teams from around the southeast and the province head to Mitchell for a fun event, the Baseball Jamboree.

"We're really happy with the turnout this year," an excited Byron Dueck explains. "We have 28 teams, represented by 13 different communities, all the way from Vita, Niverville, La Broquerie and even a team from Winnipeg. It's a great way to get together, play against some different competition, there is no score kept so everyone can just enjoy a great day of baseball."

Country 107 loves to highlight the great things happening in our community — and the incredible people doing them. Like Caitlin Penner, The Tiny Baker from Sarto. She joined the Country 107 Morning Show served up by A&W Steinbach, where she dished out more than just baking tips. 

The 2025 Manitoba 55+ Summer Games came to a close in Steinbach on Wednesday after three full days of friendly competition, community spirit, and a lot of purple volunteer shirts.

More than 1,000 participants from across the province registered for this year’s event, which included slo-pitch, golf, bocce, pickleball, and the debut of beach volleyball as a demonstration sport.

Doug Graham, co-chair of the games, says the event went smoothly overall, thanks to the efforts of dedicated volunteers and the support of the community.

Some Manitoba residents who have taken refuge in Niagara Falls, Ont., after fleeing wildfires raging in their province say they're grateful for the hospitality but worry they won't have a home to return to once the flames die down.

Kelly Ouskun says he saw so much fire and smoke along the highway on the drive from his family's home in Split Lake to Thompson, about 145 kilometres away, that he felt "nauseated" and his eyes hurt.
