Last fall, Zen Development held an open house at the former Neepawa-Gladstone Co-op grocery store to introduce their proposed 55Plus seniors housing project. The response was tremendous so the group went back to the drawing board to firm up their plans. Their next presentation to the public is on June 30 at the Yellowhead Centre at 7 p.m.

In 1958 Hamiota Co-op amalgamated with Cardale and Moline to create Hamiota/Cardale Co-op. The Cardale branch has been staffed by the same two women for nearly three decades so a surprise recognition was planned for them on Wednesday afternoon, June 17. Held at Dora’s Cafe in Cardale, approximately 30 people were on hand to witness Hamiota’s manager Bill Feschuk present “their girls” with gifts. Neither have announced plans to retire but the community and co-op board thought it high time for some recognition. Bill presented the women corsages, a leather duffle bag (Belva) and a watch (Melva).
