The Brake for Breakfast is on at Sobey's in Portage la Prairie. The event aims to raise money and food for the breakfast program in the Portage la Prairie School Division.

PortageOnline caught up with Lawrence McKenzie, Principal at Portage Collegiate Institute (PCI), to understand why the breakfast program is important.

The Morden Fire Department became the launch site for National Fire Prevention Week 2024 in Manitoba, with a special event that brought in Grade 1 students from Maple Leaf School. The interactive experience aimed to educate young children about the importance of fire safety and proper smoke alarm maintenance.

What do The Calgary Stampede, Country Thunder and Big Valley Jamboree all have in common?

Each event featured local singer/songwriter Jennie Harluk on stage.

“This summer was so busy,” says Harluk. “I played 46 shows over the summer, which was so much fun. Stampede, Country Thunder, Big Valley and local shows, I play in the mountains a lot, like Kananaskis.”

She stopped by the 91.5FM CochraneNow studio to showcase her new song ‘Sugarcoat’ releasing later this month.

The Niverville Nighthawks took a break from their usual hockey practice to give back to the community by participating in a clean-up at the Niverville Heritage Cemetery.

The event was organized by members of the Niverville United Church and a local resident Myra Kehler, who said that the event was part of a biannual effort to spruce up the grounds.

“We do this once in the spring and once in the fall. We spread dirt, add new grass seed, pick up garbage, and trim trees. It’s a lot of work, but it’s so worth it.”
