Roughly six generations ago, Mennonite families began arriving on the prairies — bringing them a life full of uncertainty.   

Two groups of Mennonites came to Manitoba. The first group settled in the East Reserve — now Steinbach, while the next settled one year later in the West Reserve — now Winkler and Altona.  

Community spirit is high at the Landmark Friendship Festival, through rain and shine.   

Though the evening started off with an intense spurt of rain, community members were quick to help attach walls to the tent and stick around for an evening of fun.   

Organizers Aleah and Pam say that as new members to Landmark, it is great to see the sense of community at this event.  

With warm weather on the way this weekend, it’s a perfect opportunity to get out and enjoy some good friends, good food, good memories, and just a good time. That’s the plan for this upcoming Sunday in Fillmore as they’ve announced their first-ever Fillmore Heritage Day will wrap up the final weekend of July. Tracey Kyrylchuk, mayor of Fillmore, says it’ll be a fun Sunday for the community. 

Come on out to this weekend's events to scan and enter for the Ram 1500 and say hi to me, Hunter, your Airdrie Summer Events Host. Look at the list below to see the summer cruiser’s whereabouts!

Airdrie Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Grand Opening Sale

Where: 139 East Lake Crescent NE Airdrie, AB

What to expect: 

Welcome to another episode of Made in Manitoba, one we're particularly excited about because it's a debut. Altona based singer, songwriter and music producer Daggerss is joining us for the first time.

An Airdrie salon is stepping up to support a local family facing an unimaginable journey after their infant daughter, known affectionately as Baby H, was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of eye cancer.

Bre Kaglar, a lifelong Airdrie resident and mother of Baby H, said the diagnosis of bilateral retinoblastoma came suddenly and required immediate action.

“She has two tumours in her eyes that are very cancerous. There were only six kids in Canada last year who had it, and it’s extra rare to have it in both eyes.”

Here is a list of five things happening in and around Moose Jaw this weekend: 

Brickspo, Saturday and Sunday 

The 14th Brickspo is taking place at the Western Development Museum on Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. 

The Weyburn Wildlife Federation will host an outdoor 3D Archery shoot event this Saturday and Sunday at the Goodwater Golf Course, featuring life-size targets.

As the course takes about three hours to complete, registration will be open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Imagine walking along a pathway in a tree-lined park, and you see, in a space along the shores of a river, a plinth with a work of art. This is the experience you can have in River Park, as it is the home for the “Get Out Gallery”, an initiative by the Weyburn Arts Council, now in its second year. The exhibition, in place now, features the work of local potter Lorena Squires.
