Recently engaged? Grand Valley Park is a beautiful outdoor wedding venue with dates still available for 2017 & 2018. The park is an excellent location for both ceremonies and receptions, is located only minutes from Brandon, just off the Trans-Canada Highway. This outdoor chapel, nestled in the midst of 50 acres of beautiful oak forest, will provide a breathtaking experience for you and your guests. Owners, Katherine Jeroski and Jordan Ross, took over the lease on the park last spring, and have focused in on using the park as a wedding rental venue for both ceremonies and receptions. Jordan tells bdnmb.ca “ We have received a great response as the park is a beautiful setting with nice amenities, and an easily accessible location only minutes from Brandon. We can accommodate small to large ceremonies, and receptions, at affordable rates.  Prices are based on guest numbers and needs, so people are encouraged to contact them for quotes, at the contact information below. They will also have a booth at the up-coming Westman Wedding Expo on February 5th.     In addition to having an on-site wedding chapel, Grand Valley Provincial Park has a nicely treed campground set in the beautiful Assiniboine River Valley. Their campground has 22 electrical sites and 20 un-serviced sites. The campground has washroom facilities with showers, and water is available at different spots throughout the park. There is also a large cook shack that can be rented for group functions. The cook shack seats up to 80 people and is equipped with a fire place, stove, fridges, freezer and a BBQ.  Depending on the weather, they usually like to get the campground facilities open by May long weekend. Grand Valley Park also has a long First Nation History, and some information signs, explaining some of the history, can be found on the self guided interpretive trail with a look out tower. The park covers nearly 50 acres of beautiful oak forest, which has many summer and winter recreation opportunities. “We are open to discuss all types of usage of the park facilities this summer, including camps, retreats, reunions or any other group functions. Please email or call for more information!” Their plans for the near future are to continue to clean up the property, and invest in some of the facilities that exist already. They hope to work with the Parks Department to develop some plans for existing and possibly new trails throughout the park.

A number of us will take for granted that if your dog is injured and requires blood that this will be no problem.. This is where the Canadian Animal Blood Bank comes in. The Blood Bank will set up in various Vet locations across Canada with the hope of getting as much blood possible. The Brandon Hills Vet Clinic on 17th street in Brandon was the location today, as roughly 15 dogs were on-hand donating their blood. Local Vet Jay Thrush feels this is, without a doubt, a very important idea and people should take part in the blood drive if they can. “ We normally have blood supplies locally, but if we needed a larger amount of blood ,we can access their services and have blood at our clinic within a few hours“ To be a candidate, your dog must meet the following criteria: over 55 pounds No older than 8 years old Current with vaccinations Somewhat calm personalit Next local times and dates where your dog can donate: Brandon Hills – February 2nd Grand Valley – February 9th Success stories from the Canadian Animal Blood Bank” http://www.canadiananimalbloodbank.ca/index.php/en/pet-owners/success-stories       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
