Over the years, I have personally got to know and see this young man grow up and try new things and never be scared to try something. Carthy Caswell loves cooking, so hey why not open up a business with all kinds of ideas from cabbage rolls, pasta, tacos, and of course pizza.  However not your standard pizza but Neapolitan which is very common in Europe. Every second Wednesday if time permits Carthy is going to make up something and then deliver it for free to 6 - 8 people. His instagram will show you that everything he makes, looks amazing. @carthyskitchen

If discoloured water is drawn while City crews are completing maintenance, residents are encouraged to run their taps until the water becomes clear. If discoloured water continues to be drawn from the tap more than a few hours after flushing, please contact the City of Brandon Underground Utilities Section during business hours at 204-729-2137.
