Days Market is back. The fi rst market took place on July 21 and will con- tinue to run every Wednesday until Aug. 25 at the Waterfront. Months ago, Selkirk’s summer activities were a bit of a blur, since there were many health order re- strictions that prohibited events such as the market. Thanks to the rising number of people getting vac- cinated, the province is carefully lifting restrictions. Since the province announced its Phase 2 of the 4-3- 2-One Great Summer Reopening Path, the market can welcome up to 500 people. “We’re really excited to have the market return this year and with the further easing of restrictions we’re able to let more people in,” said Ellie Long- bottom, the city’s culture co-ordinator.

“WE WANT FARMS TO LAST FOR GENERATIONS. THEY CAN’T DO THAT IF THEY’RE NOT SAFE.”

Last year, CASA partnered with BASF Canada Ag- ricultural Solutions to launch a resource page for farm families. It has information on how to decide when a youth is ready for certain farm tasks, safe play areas on the farm, information on parent-kid safety contracts, and more.

Hopefully, going forward here we can get things done more effi ciently.” Interlake led 3-2 after the fi rst inning before Pembina Valley tied the score at 3-3 with a run in the fourth.
