Today marks the 17th year of Burgers to Beat MS, a nationwide effort by A&W locations across Canada to raise funds and awareness for Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Since the campaign began in 2008, A&W restaurants have worked together to support MS research and programs, raising more than $21 million.

“Canada is the place where the most MS is diagnosed in the world,” said Tamara Williamson. “It’s kind of an unknown thing—it’s not really high on the radar—but it’s something A&W has highlighted for a long time.”

Last Saturday, the Steinbach Fire Department held an impromptu car wash fundraiser outside the fire station. With very little advertising – a sign outside the station and an Instagram video – they were able to fill their day with a steady stream of customers and raise $1500 in support of firefighter mental health.  

The Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology (MITT) Open House for the Network and Systems Administrator Program was the public's first look at the newly renovated learning space in Boundary Trails Place, for the new program aimed at filling a need for IT professionals in the area.  

It is time for another music night at Altona's scenic Gallery in the Park, this time around, past Made in Manitoba guests Casati will be taking the outdoor stage on Thursday August 21st.

This week’s KPMG Taste of Summer Charity BBQ was a big success, as South Eastman English and Literacy Services (SEELS) brought in $1,492 in donations. 

SEELS is a non-profit organization providing language and literacy programs to adults. The charity aims to support anyone 18 and older in reading, writing, speaking and listening skills needed for daily and working life.
