The Altona Rhineland Emergency Services department is always busy when the Manitoba Sunflower Festival comes around in Altona and this year is no exception with a family fun event planned, the fan-favorite fire truck pull and the classic boot drive in the festival parade as well!

Win a 1 of 1 golf cart with Altona YFC this Summer

Winning a golf cart would already be a pretty nice addition to Summer but winning a 1 of 1 golf cart would be even better!

"We are raffling our custom golf cart! This past year we had this golf cart project in our Makerspace workshop. This project was largely completed by our youth and volunteers. This raffle will help cover the costs of YFC programs and projects (such as our Makerspace) so that all youth in our community can take part in YFC Altona programs completely free."

10 athletes, 23 medals, the Altona Panthers cleaned up at the Special Olympics 2025 Provincial Summer Games

"The bus ride home was loud, not because of the chatter but the clank of the medals bouncing around!" was the summation of the weekend from coach Angela Loeppky for the Altona Panthers who brought 10 athletes to the Special Olympics 2025 Provincial Summer Games. Those 10 athletes managed to bring home a whopping 23 medals for their efforts. The games took place in Winnipeg June 20th to 22nd.
