The sound of horns blaring could be heard as Joselynn Felske’s family gathered in front of their home in Stonewall last Saturday. But it wasn’t a traffi c jam, it was a birthday parade for Joselynn who turned six years old. Unfortunately because of COVID restrictions Joselynn was unable to host a party but she was very excited to see her friends and family. Even her four-legged friend Doc made a surprise visit to deliver her a gift. Joselynn had a cookie to give to each of her guests for attending.

Planning a Project this Construction Season? Spring and summer are busy seasons for construction, and it’s also a time when many are preparing to enjoy the outdoors. With this in mind, the South Interlake Planning District (SIPD) would like to issue a reminder that Development and Building Permits are required for most types of construction, renovations, and structures 21061mm3 (pre-built, site-built, temporary or permanent). These include but are not limited to: Swimming Pools, Hot Tubs, Decks, Sunrooms, Gazebos, Pergolas, Sheds, Fabric Shelters, Interior/Exterior Renovations or Repairs, Solar Panels, Window and Door Installations (structural only), Basement Developments, etc. Permits help ensure that buildings and structures meet the Manitoba Building Code, which in turn increases the level of safety for everyone. If you are unsure whether your project requires a permit or not, or if you have any questions, please contact the SIPD office at 204-467- 5587 and we’d be happy to assist you!
