Time to climb the heights for the best view of Humboldt outside a crop duster.  

The historic Water Tower opens for the season today, July 2. The restored tower is an engineering marvel in its own right. Since it’s repurposing, it’s become a major tourist attraction, the only one in the province restored to this extent. 

So, yesterday was above 30 degrees, and the next few days bring more of the same. When it's this hot outside, it's easy to sit on the deck and have a nice ice-cold glass of water or iced tea(or beverage of your own choice). That's all good. But when it comes to cooking supper, the last thing I want to do is cook something.

With the sun shining and nice weather, hundreds of people celebrated Canada Day at Assiniboine Park.

The day started at 11 a.m. on Tuesday and was filled with festivities and a wide range of activities.

A special Canada Day Citizenship Ceremony was held in the morning at the outdoor Gardens at The Leaf. Local artist Kelly Bado sang "O' Canada," and Dwight MacAulay, former Chief of Protocol for Manitoba, was the presiding officiant.

Family and friends of the 30 new Canadians were present to offer their support and celebrate their momentous day.

Canada Day celebrations began in Steinbach at the Mennonite Heritage Village from 9 am – 5 pm and continue tonight at the Soccer Park with fireworks at 10:45 pm.   

The Mennonite Heritage Village started the day at 9 am with waffles and white sauce. The day continued with activities and demonstrations.   

"The bus ride home was loud, not because of the chatter but the clank of the medals bouncing around!" was the summation of the weekend from coach Angela Loeppky for the Altona Panthers who brought 10 athletes to the Special Olympics 2025 Provincial Summer Games. Those 10 athletes managed to bring home a whopping 23 medals for their efforts. The games took place in Winnipeg June 20th to 22nd.
