Here’s just a few of the big events going on this weekend:

Hazlet Sports Days

The beautiful community of Hazlet is celebrating their sports days this weekend. Events for Saturday include a pancake breakfast, the Lions’ Parade and a kids’ carnival, with a Father’s Day supper wrapping up the weekend at Hazlet Regional Park.

Burgers and hot dogs for a good cause were on the menu for lunch last Friday, thanks to the Child and Family Services Foundation’s annual Chance 2 Camp fundraiser. For Community Support Coordinator Sara Martens, this cause is dear: “...growing up, camp was always very important to me.” Martens shared. “That’s just where I connected with the peers of my age...and just learned a lot.”  

Dream team: Volunteers build 50 beds so kids can sleep tight

Fifty more children in Winnipeg will have a bed to call their own thanks to the efforts of Manitoba Blue Cross and local non-profit Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP).

According to a press release, Manitoba Blue Cross employee volunteers gathered at Blue Cross Park for the second year in a row to build 50 beds for children who don't have one.

Made in Manitoba's weekly spotlight continues tonight with a return visit from Aysanabee, who is giving us an early listen to his brand new album that's only coming out June 20th. It's called "Edge of the Earth", and was a different musical journey and creative experience for the two-time Juno award winner.

His first album "Watin" focused on sharing the stories of his late grandfather, his second was "Here and Now" and he describes it as a break-up album.

The parking lot at Affinity Place will be reserved this Saturday, June 14, for attendees of the Estevan Comprehensive School graduation ceremony.

Organizers are asking the public to respect barricades and parking volunteers. Access to the lot will be limited to those with ECS grad tickets, which must be presented upon entry.

Doors to Affinity Place open at 12:30 p.m., with the ceremony scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. The parking lot will reopen to the general public once the ceremony begins.

Today, E. Bourassa and Sons and Napa Auto Parts teamed up for the Napa Tool and Equipment Event, and part of the event was a fundraising barbeque being put on by The Weyburn Young Fellows. 

While many residents ate their burgers, they were not aware where the funds from this barbecue would be going, as it was a surprise for one of their team members at NAPA. 

The John Howard Society of Manitoba is asking for help to help families with incarcerated parents connect with their loved ones this Father’s Day through their Get the Story Out campaign. The campaign, run by the society’s literacy department, allows for parents in correctional facilities to record themselves reading to their children.
