It wouldn’t be Canada Day in Vita unless there was a rodeo, wrestling, concerts, kids’ activities, a baseball tournament, mini car racing, a parade and fireworks.

If it seems like a lot, it’s because it is – especially for a community of approximately 500 residents, about 40 km from Steinbach.

Rachel Blatz is an iridologist, and the owner of Soul Iris in Winkler, a health store with so much more. 

“Soul Iris is the product of my mission to empower local people to take charge of their health,” Blatz shares. “ I wanted it to be a safe space. Happy. Healing. These are things that are very important to me.

“If you're an employer, there's an opportunity for you to make your place of work so great, so attractive, so operationally effective that you can achieve your goals.”

A local business has recently been acknowledged as an SGI High Performance Partner.

If it feels somewhat different to walk through the doors of Steinbach Pharmasave, it might be because so many faces are familiar. Or because the staff’s positive demeanor is a top-down dynamic. Or because a customer-first approach ensures each client is treated like a person, and not a number.
