The Central Manitoba Youth Choir is sharing the gift of music with Southern Manitoba this weekend. 

Kate and Beth Giesbrecht are sisters and are excited to be in the choir together this year. 

This will be Beth's third year in the choir. She shared her favourite part of being in the Choral ensemble. 

Celia Rabinovitch was born in Morden to Milton and Sheila Rabinovitch. Her family owned a local store on Stephen Street in the 1920s & 30s. Milton's cousin, Nick Yudell, lived in Winnipeg, but came to live with the Rabinovitch family for a time, and worked in the store. 

It was ten or twelve years ago when Ted Story brought three-time Roland Pumpkin Fair (RPF) Champion, Carman's Jason Terwin, to the Giant Pumpkin Weigh-off and got him involved and he's been back in it ever since.  

The revival of the Dead Horse Creek Speedway, west of Morden, in July and August saw record crowds coming out to watch dirt track racing once again in the Pembina Valley this summer. 

Valley Motorsports President Chris Unrau brought the signature racecar to the Boundary Trails Health Centre Friday to share in the success of the two events with a couple of victory laps. 

In a time when adoption wasn't spoken about openly because there was a stigma attached to it, whether adopting a child due to infertility or giving a child up for adoption due to the inability to care for the child, Morden's Beverly Dyck-Hiebert-Wiebe was born in Grace Hospital in Winnipeg to her birth mother, where Children's Aid kept the pair together for a short time before finding a new home for Beverly. 

Carrie Hiebert will be heading to Winnipeg and the Manitoba Legislature as the Progressive Conservative MLA for Morden-Winkler. 

She just secured the party's nomination in mid-May after former MLA Cameron Friesen stepped back from provincial politics. 

She shared her reaction to being announced the MLA for Morden-Winkler.  

YFC in Carman cuts ribbon on expansion project the ribbon was cut in Carman on the Youth for Christ (YFC) drop-in centre, with community members from Carman, Dufferin and the surrounding area gathered to celebrate this important milestone. 

Carman YFC Female Program Coordinator Stevie Jeske has been with the organization for over 12 years. 

According to the Orange Shirt Day website,

Today many are gathering in their communities as an act of reconciliation to recognize the harms of the past done to Indigenous people through residential schools, the sixties scoop and presently the many murdered and missing indigenous women, to hear the truth of survivors and to move forward in a path of reconciliation.  

Today (September 30th) is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Morden's Christina Cearns is a sexual abuse survivor. 

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. For Altona area farmers, Henry and Christy Abrams, it's personal. Last year, one of their three daughters, 10-year-old Rowen, wasn't feeling well and they took her to see a doctor where they ran blood tests to see what was causing her back pain and sore throat. 

Abrams said they took some blood to run tests and got the news they never expected.
