Participants at last week's Canada Grain Act Summit covered a lot of topics from the mandate of the Canadian Grain Commission to issues around delivery contracts
and market information.

The event brought together producers, industry and government representatives from across the prairies.

The President of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan (APAS) Ian Boxall says one thing everyone agrees on is that the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) must focus on following its mandate of protecting producers.

Kris Auest, AKA The Gate Keepa is reigniting his passion for music.

To someone who has never heard his music, Auest shared that "When they hear the lyrics and the message, it really speaks to the person's heart and causes them to think about life and why they're living it."

It all started almost 20 years ago when he would write poems and songs, that his friends told him to turn into Christian rap. The ultimate goal, as he shares is, "To minister to the brokenhearted."

“It is great news to welcome Dr. Tataba to Valleyview,” says Todd Lowen, MLA for Central Peace-Notley. “Having his expertise in the community will enhance access to primary care for local and area residents. I’d like to welcome him to the community and wish him all the best in his medical career here.”

Exodus 3:4–10

When the LORD saw Moses coming to take a closer look, God called to him from the middle of the bush, “Moses! Moses!”

“Here I am!” Moses replied.

“Do not come any closer,” the LORD warned. “Take off your sandals, for you are standing on holy ground. I am the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” When Moses heard this, he covered his face because he was afraid to look at God. (Exodus 3:4–6)
