Bill Doerksen knows what it’s like to need a helping hand – and the difference it can make when it’s offered.

More than 26 years ago, after losing his millworking job in Steinbach when the company that employed him went out of business, Doerksen was offered a fresh start by a Manitoba government program facilitated by the Southeast Unemployment Centre.

When it comes to showing your home to potential buyers, first impressions can be vital. As Ruth Alexander explains, the little details can go a long way.

Christmas the Whole Story

“This is how the Birth of Jesus Took place…”

Matthew 1:18.

These are the introductory words to what is to many, the familiar Christmas story…with Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, Wisemen, Shepherds and Angels.

It all began with an event, that became a pop-up shop, and today is a year-round store in St. Vital Centre.  

Love Local Manitoba first arrived on the scene in 2014, and in response to its popularity, chef and small business owner Peter Fehr opened a pop-up shop in the mall to help people easily find meaningful, high-quality Manitoba-made gifts for the Christmas season.  

The shop never went away. Today Love Local Manitoba is thriving in its shop near The Bay.
