Mounties are once again looking for an Ontario woman who is wanted in that province for allegedly abducting her children in December of last year.

Mounties say 55-year-old Astrid Schiller was found with her three sons (Leon, Christopher, and Thomas) at the Boissevain Port of Entry on Sunday,

Schiller was arrested on an outsanding warrant for child abduction from the Durham Regional Police in Ontario but was released a short time later when it was found that the warrant was not extended to Manitoba.

The three boys were taken into care, but early the next morning police found out that the boys were no longer in care at a home in Forrest, and were been reported as missing once again. 

RCMP believe they are once again with their mom, and that she is driving a white 2018 Mercedes GLC with B-C Licence plate SJ975W.

Anyone with info on their whereabouts is encouraged to contact their local RCMP detachment.

Delegates from across the province, and across the nation, will flock to Dauphin for a duo of anniversaries.

Soy Canada celebrates 10 years and Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers will see it's 40th, both being celebrated at a local farm.

Dauphin's Reeve, Ernie Sirski, a pivotal member of both of these organizations, is proud to have these events so close to home.

"It's hard to believe it's been 10 years since we formed (Soy Canada), and I was one of the founding members of it through Manitoba Pulse and Soy Bean Growers, so it's exciting for me as well. Coupled with that, we're also going to, according to plan anyways, hold it here on our farm."

Today, you might see representatives from both organizations touring local spots, and tomorrow after the AGM the plan is to have a charity golf match in Gilbert Plains.

Stay tuned for Thursdays Noon Hour Edition, as we'll catch up with Sirski about the AGM, and how the event went.

We are now less than two months away from the start of the 2024 Manitoba Summer Games in Dauphin and surrounding area.

And with that, organizers are finalizing details that they hope will make these games the best ever.

Games co-chair Carla Wolfenden says with the event coming up so quickly, they are now working on the smaller details that are going to make these games so exciting.

"At a recent executive meeting, we put down names for our torch bearers relay project which we are starting shortly.  Those details are the things that really get me excited because it makes it more real.  We are now not only just in the big picture planning but also the small details."

Dauphin was originally set to host the 2020 Manitoba Summer Game, but that event was canceled due to the pandemic. 

Games co-chair Clayton Swanton says their board is committed to making these games the best that they can.

"While also leaving the biggest legacy that we can out of these games.  We only host them once in a generation, and this is our opportunity to put the spotlight on Dauphin and we are all very excited about that.  And we are all so thankful for the sponsors that have stepped up so far."

Swanton says he and Wolfenden will be visiting businesses in the coming weeks in hopes of finishing up their sponsorships for the August 11-17 event.

Clean-up efforts will continue on Monday after a powerful storm blew through the Parkland and Southwestern Manitoba over the weekend. 

A thunderstorm ripped through the region early Sunday morning, leaving large hail in areas of Southwestern Manitoba. 

Massive winds reaching as high as 85 km an hour at times in Dauphin caused trees to fall either straight to the ground or on top of power lines, causing numerous outages in the city and throughout the region.

There are reports that most of Gilbert Plains has been without power since Sunday night. 

Manitoba Hydro posted on their X account that areas in and around Dauphiun, Swan River, Neepawa, Russell, Brandon, and Virden could have extended power outages well into Monday.

Wind warnings were in place yesterday for much of the Parkland and into Southwestern Manitoba

The Parkland Regional Manager for Workforce Education in Manitoba is optimistic that the success of a two day bus tour of businesses in the region will spawn further events like it in the future.   

The tour, held in partnership with the Parkland Chamber of Commerce, had 16 participants hop on the bus on Tuesday, and 13 take part on Wednesday.

Stephanie Jaddock says networking and the sharing of contact information was very evident.

"Some of the comments were like "we did not realize what all is in our region" and " we did not realize what this business does" or "how can we support each other"., whether it is through funding opportunities, skill building opportunities, or just sharing in services and  information to others about services that are in the Parkland and offered to customers."

Jaddock, adds the tour was received well by both the participants and the businesses that were visited. 

"We saw lots of engagement, as well as just the ability to learn a little bit more about other communities, businesses, maybe some of their great successes, some challenges, and just a way to connect and offer services that integrate us together,"

Participants had the chance over the two days to visit several businesses and heritage spots in communities such as Dauphin, Ste Rose, Winnipegosis, Gilbert Plains, and Grandview. 

Jaddock adds they are very appreciative of the partnership they had with the Parkland Chamber of Commerce, as well as sponsors such as Fusion Credit Union in putting on this event.
