La Broquerie Helping Hands is inviting the community to experience what it's all about at a grand opening.

"We've been running for over a year, and we've been in our locations since October. But now we're actually being able to officially celebrate with this grand opening ceremony," says Jocelyn Gauthier, a member of the food bank's board.

The ceremony will take place on May 7 at 210 Principale Street from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and will include a free hot dog and drink for attendees.

'Music Monday' is coming up tomorrow, and a joint concert will be held tomorrow night at 7 p.m. in the Legacy Park Elementary School gymnasium, featuring the Legacy Choir and the Rise Choir from Weyburn Comprehensive School.

Here's a look at some of the photographs the Discover Weyburn staff captured throughout the week:

After a long wait, Steinbach is finally getting its first real taste of summer—while still officially in the spring season—and residents are making the most of it. 

With the sun shining bright and highs reaching 28 on Sunday, it’s shaping up to be a picture-perfect weekend. The warm weather continues into the week, with sunshine in the forecast through Friday and highs bouncing between 17 and 29 degrees. 

In a world that can sometimes feel rushed and impersonal, a simple, genuine act of kindness in Niverville has left a deep impression on a local mom. 

Mellissa Gladue recently shared a touching story on Facebook about an experience she had at the Co-op gas station. 

A national suicide prevention initiative called Roots of Hope is being developed in southern Manitoba, offering communities a new way to build supports based on local needs and priorities. 

“Roots of Hope is a framework meant to help communities build suicide prevention initiatives locally that fit their community, so it's very individualized,” says Lindsay Hainsworth, a community mental health worker with Southern Health-Santé Sud’s Mental Health and Addictions Program. 

Mrs. Jackie Nickel’s kindergarten class at Southwood School has spent the month learning about what it means to be a community helper—with some very special guests visiting the classroom to bring the lessons to life. “We like to talk about community helpers because it gives students awareness of the people in the community who help us do the things we need to do,” said Nickel.

Southeast College Celebrated its 50th year this week with a career fair and open house at the Weyburn campus.

Highlights include a free community barbecue served by the door, and lab tours provided to potential students, showcasing their facilities. 

They also opened a time capsule, featuring items from as far back as 2002, and showcased the items going into a new time capsule, set to be opened in 2050.

This weekend has gorgeous weather. Highs in the high 20's, little(still some) wind, and lots of sunshine. And there's lots of yardwork I can do. Lots I SHOULD do. But the kids asked to go to the park. Park wins.

I find it easy to come up with an excuse as to why I don't want to leave the house, or go away from weekend chores that are required. But as anyone who has a child that is older will tell you, it goes by fast. So if they're going to ask to go and play outside on what is really the first hot day of spring, I'd be silly to come up with a reason not to.
