From April through late June this year, Mme. Kori Nagle’s Grade 6 French Immersion students built their own vision of a resilient community from the ground up, piece by piece. Their finished model featured a water filtration system, rainwater barrels, solar-powered buildings and vehicles, electric vehicle charging stations, hospital and wellness centre, animal shelter, bike & walking path along the river, farmers’ market, recycling/repurposing/composting centre, rec centre, arts & music performance space, public bathrooms — and much more!
This project was a collaboration between the students, Mme. Nagle and local artist Avery Ascher.

THE TRI-COMMUNITY Pride celebration saw more than 300 people participate in the parade and festival Saturday afternoon.

Once upon a time, there lived a wonderful boy named Dhzhyvon who lived in a city named Kyiv, Ukraine. Then in 2021 Dhyzhyvon moved with his parents and little sister Adelina, to a new town named The Pas, in a new country named Canada. Everything in The Pas was different - even the language everyone spoke!
Dhzhyvon worked hard to learn English, and he was a great help to his parents and teachers. When war shortly broke out in Ukraine, Dhzhyvon's grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins lived in Smela, in the Cherkasy region (and they still do to this day).

Delegates from the Manitoba Metis Federation (MMF) travelled to Rome on April 18 to meet with Pope Francis. This was a separate meeting from the group of Indigenous delegates who met with the Pope earlier and received a long overdue, but historic apology for the trauma inflicted by residential schools in Canada.
The MMF selected delegates that were cabinet members, Metis elders and youth, as well as residential school survivors and some bishops to embark on this journey.

Spring sprung early as Community Futures Cedar Lake Region once again took advantage of the nice weather, and was out in the community presenting cheques on behalf of the “Investing in Our Futures” grant, which was created to support community projects that add to the general well-being of a community, while stimulating economic growth.
Presenting the cheques on behalf of Community Futures Cedar Lake were Joe Cote, General Manager, Carrie Atkinson, Chairperson, and Rod Berezowecki, Treasurer.
