Strong and growing communities are the foundation of a strong and growing province. That’s why Saskatchewan’s 2024-25 Provincial Budget invests in our province’s strong and growing communities - so that Saskatchewan can continue to grow and remain the best place to live, work and raise a family.

When a business grows to more than 10 times its original size in less than 20 years, it’s clearly doing something right.

“My dad and I started out in 2007,” recalls Patrick Wilson, co-owner and manager of Taxi4U. “We successfully went 24/7 from the beginning – as much of a stretch as that was at the time – and we’ve just kind of grown steadily ever since.”

From the pair of vehicles the start-up cab company operated those 17 years ago, Taxi4U has expanded to a fleet of more than 20. And Wilson is under no illusions as to how that success has come about.

Summer in the City is the premiere festival celebrating everything that makes Southeastern Manitoba great, and this year promises to be even better than the last.  

As Executive Director of the Steinbach Arts Council, David Klassen coordinates stage and production at Summer in the City. He says they always make sure the quality of the festival’s headliners is high. 

“Excellence through opportunity.”

There is excitement in the halls at Steinbach Christian School these days, created by the growing K-12 institution’s focus on providing new opportunities and living with purpose.

“More than 90% of our high school students are involved in a co-curricular activity,” says Thor Barkman, SCS principal. “By giving students opportunities to be involved, they can start to understand who they are and what they’re good at.”

It’s not about who you impress. It’s about who you impact!

I read this statement a few weeks ago and it has resonated with me repeatedly since that time. I’ve been reflecting on my impact. What is the impact of my words, my actions, my thoughts, my facial expressions, my whole life?

Do you have expired or unused medications at home? If so, have you ever wondered what to do with them?

Between now and April 23, Hill’s Drug Store and Hill’s Clinic Pharmacy will be running a public awareness campaign with the goal of ensuring Portage la Prairie and area residents know how to properly dispose of pharmaceutical pills, creams and liquids.

Since launching iBEAUTY this past September, Tina has been helping Southeast Manitoba women find their inner royalty.

“In my heart, I think every woman deserves to be a queen or princess,” she says. “Life is for enjoying.”

Relatively new to Steinbach after moving to Canada from China, Tina is excited to spread the word about iBEAUTY, which has a storefront at 98 Brandt St. – near the corner with Reimer Ave W. Her shop carries items made in Canada and the United States, but most of its inventory comes from overseas.

The 2024-25 provincial budget delivers the largest-ever increase in health care funding. This investment will expand patient care and services, increase access to primary care, support health professionals, and fund key infrastructure projects like new hospitals and long-term care homes across Saskatchewan.

Those looking for Morden Agencies downtown on the corner of Stephen and 8th Streets, will now find the insurance company at Unit E - 886 Thornhill Street off Highway 3 across from McDonald's.

After 50 years at this location, co-owner Jeff Klippenstein explained the decision to move.

Rob: Hey, let's talk about the Report for Service app that we can get on our phones. I got the Millennials here at the radio station to help me set it up. I got it on my phone and frankly, it works pretty well. I can book swims at certain times and skip the lineups for people who are waiting to pay. I find that very convenient, and you know if you’re a member or if you bought a punch card, you can punch that in and you can just walk into the pool and skip the line-up and away you go, very convenient.
