Community

A remarkable wave of generosity swept across Manitoba this week as communities united for the Manitoba Day of Caring for Wildfire Evacuees — a special, province-wide broadcast that brought together more than 30 radio stations to support those displaced by ongoing wildfires.

Held on Thursday, June 5, the unprecedented collaboration mobilized listeners from Brandon to Steinbach, Thompson to Winkler, and nearly everywhere in between. By the end of the broadcast day, donations had reached $306,073.26 — an incredible show of care and compassion from Manitobans.

Heritage Farms Brewing Company may be new to Winkler’s craft beer scene, but its roots run deep—really deep. Founded by John Trinke (the sixth generation to carry the name on the family farm), the brewery is the latest chapter in a legacy that began back in 1878, when Johann Trinka crossed the Atlantic to settle on this very land.

The Royal Canadian Legion Branch #110 in Gladstone will mark two significant milestones on June 7: the 90th anniversary of the branch and the 50th anniversary of its club room.

The celebration will begin at 11 a.m. and is open to the public. Among the guests will be Manitoba Lt.-Gov. Anita Neville, who is scheduled to arrive at 10:45 a.m. for a tour of the town and the surrounding rural area. Her visit will include a stop at the local food bank and lunch at a local bakery before she joins the main event at the Legion club room at 1 p.m.

Juno-nominated country-pop singer-songwriter Lindsay Ell is returning to Moose Jaw! 

She’ll be stopping in Canada’s Most Notorious City July 7, opening for Shania Twain at Temple Gardens Centre.

Along with warming up the crowd, Lindsay Ell is also a member of Shania’s band. She’s been in the role of lead guitarist since 2024, which, according to Ell, is a childhood dream come true.

Anglers from across the region will be making their way to Mainprize Regional Park this weekend for one of the Weyburn Wildlife Federation’s most anticipated events of the year — the 2025 Walleye Classic.

However, for teams choosing to include a third member, that angler must be 15 years of age or younger.

Nominations are now open for the Estevan Business Excellence Awards (EBEX), and the Estevan Chamber of Commerce's popular summer golf tournament is back in July.
