It has been confirmed recently that Miles for Mental Health collected a total of $2,800 this year, which committee member Diane Martin states is twice as much as last year. From the $2, 800 figure, $2, 300 has been donated directly to Project 11, a mental wellness organization that teaches positive coping skills, focussing of the mind, increasing self-awareness, and how to build positive relationships; and $500 to the Beautiful Plains School Division (BPSD). All proceeds will be used to provide training in Project 11 workshops and programs, and/or to provide BPSD students with Project 11 programs.

Next year’s event will take place on Aug. 25.

When there is a medical emergency and every second counts, access to an automated external defibrillator (AED) could be the difference between life and death. With that in mind, Neepawa’s Citizens on Patrol Program (COPP) has donated one of these important mobile devices to Budz ’n Bloom Daycare Centre. For now, the AED unit will be stationed at the current daycare facility at 101 Hamilton Street, but it will be transferred to their new location along Mountain Avenue once construction is completed.

After four years, Darian Major is stepping down from the president’s seat after the end of his term to welcome a fresh face, Brian McCannell, to the position. Typically presidency ends after three years, but Major stayed on, with the board’s approval, for an additional year to smooth out a transitional period.
