Carnie's Comments

Time for Throwback Thursday - just a minute to remember the good ol' days.

It was the fall of 1973. The Carnie family had just moved from Regina to Moose Jaw and I got my first taste of the old Civic Centre.

The Saskatchewan Health Authority is calling on Estevan residents to step forward and support the local Meals on Wheels program, which is in urgent need of volunteers.

Deborah Augey, Volunteer Coordinator with the Saskatchewan Health Authority, joined the SUN 102 Morning Show to share how Estevan residents can get involved with the Meals on Wheels program — and how meaningful the experience can be not just for recipients, but for volunteers as well.

“People feel good by doing good. It warms our hearts — both the recipients and our own.”

But there is one thing that, whether it be a meal delivery, or travelling to a location outside of town for any other purpose, always stays true and is a necessity when driving: the wave.

Efforts are being made to preserve a historical building in La Broquerie, MB.

The St. Joachim Parish received historical status in 2000. While there are many older structures across Manitoba, very few have historical status, especially in the southeast. Lucien Grenier, a member of the church’s financial committee, shares that such status is remarkable not only to the people in the municipality or town of La Broquerie, but to anyone with a family history of immigration to Canada.

The work of firefighters during a harrowing wildfire in the RM of Piney has left the Woodridge community, and beyond, incredibly thankful.
