Congratulations to Lily Hemlow for receiving the Top Grade 9 Female Athlete of the Year Award at Vincent Massey Highschool. She also maintained a 95% average in 10 subjects. Given that her Highschool is a fairly large, sports-minded, facility that strives for Academic and Athletic excellence, makes this achievement even more special.
From Prairie to Pine Region:
Please hold in prayer the following communities of faith: Hamiota, Roblin (Roblin, Tummel), McCreary
Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with evacuees from wildfires across the Regional Council area as the state of emergency has been lifted in the province of Manitoba, and many returned to their home communities. We continue to pray for those involved in emergency response, including the firefighters, as the wildfire season continues.
