Submitted A new documentary about a leg- endary local Indigenous man named John Ramsay will be screened at the Gimli Film Festival this year. It is the fi rst public screening of A Song for John Ramsay, which features Juno Award winning singer-songwriter William Prince from Peguis First Nation. In A Song for John Ramsay, Mr. Prince is challenged to write an original piece of music and to speak for John Ramsay, who is credited with being a great friend to the Icelandic colonists who arrived in the Riverton area in 1876. No known pictures or written words remain from John Ramsay, but his story has been kept alive by local people. Now, Mr. Prince gives him a voice in a song.

But for the community of Eriksdale, their community-wide garage sale is a living legacy of Al Kelner who died two years ago after a battle with cancer. According to Keith Lundale, who has been co-or- dinating the event for the past three years, Kelner was the driving force behind the Eriksdale Cham- ber of Commerce’s biggest fundraising event for 25 years. “He was the garage sale,” said Lundale. “He had a fi le on it, had everything documented.
