Yankees SS Torres cleared after positive COVID-19 test

BRANDON — The Manitoba government is seeking to build a soybean crushing plant and is looking for investment to make it happen.

The proposed facility is one of several projects the NDP government pitched at the international investment summit in Toronto this week.

“We’re in a new world of opportunities that I think provinces or the country of Canada needs to apprehend,” Manitoba Agriculture Minister Ron Kostyshyn said Monday.

The MLA for Dauphin said soybeans were a “very popular discussion” during recent trade missions in certain parts of Asia.

Two men sustained minor, but not life-threatening injuries after a crash on Highway 8 at Whytewold Road in the RM of St. Andrews Monday afternoon.

At 3:45 p.m. Selkirk RCMP responded to the two-vehicle collision, which happened after a vehicle travelling south on Highway 8 collided with a westbound vehicle that was crossing the highway from Whytewold Road.

The driver of the southbound vehicle, a 26-year-old man, and the driver of the westbound vehicle, a 24-year-old man, both from the RM of Gimli, were involved. The 24-year-old was ticketed for proceeding before safe to do so.

Say what you’ll do

I must say that I agree with what Laura Reimer wrote (What do we elect a school trustee to do?, Think Tank, Sept. 12).

I would add, though, that school trustees and school board candidates also have a responsibility to clearly state where they stand on issues in order for people to come out and vote in school board elections.

Simply putting out very generic campaign material (“I’ll work hard on your behalf”; “I live in the area”; “education is important”; and so on …) is insufficient to generate interest or to motivate taxpayers/voters to go out and support candidate X.
