Run and founded by Melvina and Dakotah Guiboche, Resilient Healing offers workshops and programs tailored to its audience.

CAA is sharing tips on how to keep school zones free of congestion while maintaining students' safety as they return to classes this week. 

"According to a recent study that we conducted, what we learned from mostly parents or guardians, is that 90 per cent of us have witnessed unsafe driving behaviours around school zones," says Ewald Friesen, the Manager of Government and Community Relations with CAA Manitoba. "This has included speeding, distracted driving, and also parking in a school bus area."

The final Taste of Summer Charity BBQ, presented by Fountain Tire, took place earlier today, benefiting the Moose Jaw Warriors Education Fund and Canadian Tire's Jumpstart charity. 

The Warriors, along with coaching, play-by-play and administration staff, were on hand to meet with fans and hand out season tickets ahead of their first pre-season game on Friday.

Later this month, about 120 km southwest of Weyburn in the town of Bengough, destruction lovers and their cars will hit the track for the 2nd annual Bengough Brawl on September 20th. The Demolition Derby is put on by Palmer Automotive and the Palmer family in conjunction with the Southeast Demolition Club and numerous donations from the community. A demolition derby bringing a variety of cars and competitors will take over the Bengough Ag Society Fairgrounds for the chance at glory and cash prizes. Colton Dodd, organizer of the Bengough Brawl, explains the fun that’ll take place.  

The Krahn Barn in Neubergthal has hosted many concerts and performances over the years and they are ready to go with another toe-tapping, upbeat group this Saturday (Sept 6th), The Stanley County Cut-ups!

Lake Minnewasta is set to shine in early fall as families gather for the second annual Lakeside Fall Festival on Saturday, September 13, from 1:00–6:00 p.m. Organized by the City of Morden, the event aims to pull folks outdoors and back to a place many love as the leaves begin to turn.

Estevan’s Living Skies Woodworking is turning heads, locally and beyond. Owner Steven Raymond recently crafted a custom sign for country star Lainey Wilson, continuing a growing list of high-profile clients that includes Colter Wall, Jelly Roll, and even Hawthorne Bjornsson from Game of Thrones.

The idea behind each piece, Steven explains, is personalization. “We did not want to just put Lainey Wilson on the sign. We scoured her social media for color palettes and symbols she loves. The horseshoe was a huge thing for her. It really reflects her southern roots.”

As summer comes to a close, so does the weekly KPMG Taste of Summer Charity BBQ. 

Each week throughout the season, a different local charity received support from the community event. While lunch was available for just a $2 donation, many gave much more.
