It was a bustling Saturday night, the shops were open until 9 pm, the restaurants were full and it was hard to find a parking spot on the main drag. This isn’t a scene from modern Toronto, London or New York. This was Neepawa on a Saturday night in the 1950s.
It’s hard to believe.

Not sure who keeps up the Trans Canada Trail within town limits, but whoever does deserves a great big Thumbs UP. We are extremely lucky in Neepawa to have such a great town to walk around in, from our shady streets with their well kept houses and yards, to the trails that have been kept clean and mowed.
The Trans Canada Trail is one of our favourite trails to walk and it’s kept up beautifully year round.

Jeering calls came from the crowd and the speaker threatened to clear the gallery, such was the atmosphere last Wednesday in the provincial legislature. On June 15, Cliff Cullen, Minister of Growth, Enterprise and Trade, introduced Bill 7, the Labour Relations Amendment Act, which will change the process by which workplaces become unionized.

On the front page of this week's paper, you will see this notice: “A postal disruption could occur as soon as July 1, 2016. Canada Post Corporation and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers have not come to a labour agreement. This does not affect deliveries in Neepawa, as we do not use Canada Post in the Town of Neepawa. In case of a postal strike or lock-out, at all other locations, the Banner will be distributed by alternative means. We plan to have the paper distributed at numerous locations around the readership area. We will do everything we can to make sure the papers are distributed.
Thank for your support and patience.

Thumbs up to our golf pro, Landon Cameron, who was key to bringing the Canadian National Future Links Prairie Championship to our beautiful Neepawa Golf Course and for organizing such a beautiful event. An excellent job Landon, thanks!
