Cabin fever cure coming up
If you’ve had enough of winter and are suffering from a bit of cabin fever, there’s an excellent opportunity to get a little relief coming up very soon.
The Roblin Golf & Country Club is hosting an evening of fun, frolic, and feasting next Saturday (Feb. 22) to provide the community with a much-needed diversion and raise funds for a much-needed upgrade to the golf course’s irrigation system.

Closed means closed
In July 2023, new offences were created under the Highway Traffic Act to deter people from driving on closed highways.
Please beware, if you venture out on a closed road and then get stuck, hit the ditch, or get in an accident, it is not guaranteed that emergency services are coming to help you.

Festival winners announced
The North Western Marquette Festival (NWMF) hosted a wonderfully exciting day of adjudicated dance (March 12), a beautiful day of adjudicated piano and vocal (March 13) and then the weather turned frightful, school buses were cancelled and our planned day (March 14) of school choirs was rescheduled to March 21
With a lot of flexibility and co-operation from many people and organizations the unadjudicated NWMF Choir Fest was delightful.
