The Weyburn Art Gallery is gearing up for Culture Palooza, as part of the annual Culture Days Celebration. Culture Palooza is a weekend full of events that showcase different cultures within the city. Harwinder Kaur is organizing a Rangoli creation to represent part of Weyburn’s Indian community.  

“Rangoli, it's mainly colours because if we split the word, the first four letters are R-E-N-G, it means colours in Hindi.” 

A tradition that's been going on for over 40 years will push through Portage la Prairie this weekend. 

The Aggie Bed Push will gather contributions through communities all over the province starting Friday and going through Sunday.
