Every summer, Rainbow Stage in Kildonan Park puts on two different plays. This year, the performances are Cash: Ring of Fire and Shrek.

Functional fitness. You hear about it a lot—on television, on social media, and pretty much anywhere you go. You may not recognize the term, but if you see someone carrying in groceries or squatting down to pick something up, that’s functional fitness in action.

The heat is here, the kids are home, and the holidays are in full swing. Too bad we can’t take a holiday from cooking. If those family reunions, church picnics, and baby showers have you eating more potato salad and cupcakes than your body needs, try these healthy summer backyard barbecue ideas.

When you walk, more than 200 individual muscles spring into action, including all the muscles in your spine and pelvic area. Walking is easy and offers many benefits to your overall health.

Many things in life help mould us and give us a sense of pride and development, but there’s nothing better than having the health and fitness you desire. With good nutrition and exercise, you can start to see what life truly has to offer. A youthful body and disposition will help you shine in areas you never thought possible.

Communities in the southeast are growing and flourishing, and St. Adolphe is no exception with the East Dike Expansion project. Like many small communities, St. Adolphe has the makings for quiet rural living but, hemmed by the Red River and a ring dike, residential growth is difficult.

Volunteers from all of Niverville’s churches are once again planning a Vacation Bible School (VBS) program this summer, August 8–12, for children entering Grades One through Six. This year’s theme is “Cave Quest: Following Jesus, the Light of the World.” Each day will begin at 9:30 a.m. and run until noon at the Fourth Avenue Bible Church.

The 2016 Niverville Olde Tyme Country Fair was one of the best ones yet—in fact, that may be an understatement. The staples that have worked in the past—like stage placement, the motocross bikers, and Wonder Shows—are still a hit, and the new acts this year drew a big crowd. As well, this year’s innovation of alcohol sales in the concert area went off without a hitch.

After several years of development, the commercial land along Highway 311, in front of Old Drovers Run golf course, is about to get its first businesses. Construction is set to begin on a new Shell gas bar and Tim Hortons restaurant.
