Sutherland is one of the creators of Kirstin’s Walk, a fun fi ve-kilometer walk around Selkirk Park that normally takes place in June. This year it is not able to happen because of COVID-19 safety restrictions. The walk is a memorial walk for Laurie’s daughter Kirstin Rae Sutherland who passed away at the age of 27. Her family wanted to keep her love of chil- dren and community alive and so decided to create a yearly walk as well as a fund through the Selkirk and District Community Foundation that supports children’s projects in our communities. “[Kirstin] had a zest for life and real compassion for giving.

Ethan Wiedemann, 18, studies heavy-duty me- chanics at Red River College (RRC). He just com- pleted his fi rst year of the program. Wiedemann’s instructors selected him and fi ve of his peers to compete in the regional Skills Manito- ba competition on April 16. Instructors chose the students based on their marks, hand-skills, and attitudes, Wiedemann said. Under the watchful eye of their instructors, the students completed a series of skill-based tasks like taking precise measurements and rewiring ma- chinery. The competitors earned points for speed and technical profi ciency. The students confronted each challenge without knowing what was coming next. The experience was a bit intense and simulated a real working en- vironment, Wiedemann said. “It’s kind of like working in the trade, where you’re not going to know what you’re doing until your boss comes up to you and says, ‘here’s a prob- lem, can you fi x it?’.” Wiedemann’s win earned him a gold medal, a certifi cate of achievement, and an opportunity to compete on the national stage in the Skills Canada Virtual National Competition. Skills Manitoba is a regional subsidiary of the larger Skills Canada. Their national event pits post- secondary students from across the country against each other in hands-on, head-to-head, skilled trades and technologies competitions. Students in nearly every fi eld of study are eligible to compete—from mechanics and autobody techni- cians to photographers and 3D animators.
