The Dauphin Fire Department was dispatched to a field fire yesterday afternoon near Sifton.

The DFD joined the Sifton Fire Department to battle the fire at around 4:15 p.m. in the community pastures.

The fire started from embers that blew in from scrub piles that had been burned several weeks earlier. High winds rekindled the fire and carried flames over to a nearby pasture.

Fire crews say that the original fires were lit during different weather conditions when fire bans were not issued.

The DFD would like to thank Bob Denchuck for assisting on-site with a water tanker.

The Ethelbert School will be closed today.

This morning MLA Brad Michaleski held a “virtual coffee” through the Dauphin and District Chamber of Commerce.

Some of the topics that were brought up are the Province’s recent Xplornet announcement, agriculture, post-secondary education, and COVID-19.

While Michaleski is uncertain what parts are rural Manitoba are getting high-speed internet first, he says he’s advocating for the Parkland.

“This can’t happen fast enough for our area. We have a lot to offer and a lot to offer the world, and the world is looking for opportunities.” He adds “I think there’s some attention being looked at in the Parkland region in terms of regional economic development. I think our government has led that charge on looking at a different strategy on what we can do with that connectivity.”

Michaleski says the regional development platform on top of a connectivity platform holds a lot of promise.

Michaleski says the Parkland has two major strengths, and that’s our agriculture and tourism industries.

“There’s a lot of things moving in the background, indirectly that are looking to shore up our agriculture resource development potential.”

Michaleski stated in the meeting that we need post-secondary skill-set development that’s relevant to the region.

“This is something that’s missing, and it’s been to the detriment of this region for decades.”

Michaleski wrapped up today’s meeting by thanking the region for the effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

May is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month.

The Alzheimer’s Society is teaming up with I.G. Wealth Management for their virtual Walk for Alzheimer’s.

Liz Mcleod, senior manager for regional services for the Alzheimer’s Society of Manitoba says you can participate by doing any activity you enjoy.

“We’re encouraging people to participate all throughout the month of May, by doing an activity of their choice. An example would include setting a daily step goal, going for a run, riding a bike, just doing any activity with purpose and meaning so that you are being a part of a larger movement of people trying to highlight the incidents of dementia in our society and the people with that diagnosis.”

She adds that you can have friends and family members support your efforts by donating.

“A lot of people walk for their grandpa, or their grandma, their mom, their family member, and they use it as a way to remember, particularly if that person has passed on, or even just to do something that they feel they can do to support that person in the here and now.”

Individuals and teams can sign up at walkforalzheimers.ca.
