Dr. Seuss agrees: Reading is key to success

February is I Love To Read month. And I love to read. Over the coming weeks, I will visit many elementary schools and daycares in the Radisson constituency so I can read to as many young people as I can. This gives me the opportunity to join parents, grandparents, teachers and others in encouraging our young people to develop a love for reading.

Dear Money Lady Readers,

McPhillips Street named for family of surveyors

McPhillips Street is one of Winnipeg’s busiest traffic corridors, but when it was named in the 1870s it was a surveyor’s line that marked Winnipeg’s city limits. It commemorates the McPhillips family of surveyors and mapmakers.

The times they are a-changin’
