Last week, we asked for your assistance with tracking down some information on this hockey team. This was a Neepawa hockey photo taken circa the 1930s.
Several people contacted us online and in person to fill in the details. We thank you for the help on this effort.

On Thursday, Oct. 20, hopeful entrepreneurs from the Neepawa and Minnedosa areas gathered at the ArtsForward building for the second annual ‘What’s The Big Idea?’ event.
The event is a chance for entrepreneurs to build connections with other individuals and organizations, as well as pitch their ideas to the public and a panel of judges for their chance to win cash awards.
This year, seven entrepreneurs stepped up to pitch their ideas, with four of them taking home prizes.

On Oct. 15, at approximately 11:50 p.m., Neepawa RCMP conducted a traffic stop on Provincial Road 352 and Road 72N. During the traffic stop, police believed that the driver may be under the influence of alcohol. The male was compelled to produce a sample of his breath into a roadside screening device, which he failed. The male driver was subsequently arrested for impaired operation of a motor vehicle. The male was brought back to Neepawa detachment where he provided two samples of breath. The two samples were 160mg and 140mg of alcohol in his blood. Andrew Waldner of Glenella-Lansdowne has been charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle and is currently before the courts.

Massive changes have been made at Neepawa Access Television (NACTV). Just under 30 people attended the non-profit organization’s annual general meeting at the Neepawa Library on Tuesday, Nov. 1. Perhaps some of them were simply there hoping to see fireworks similar to those that occurred during the 2015 AGM, when the board chair was ousted during what turned into a very combustable get-together. While there were no such theatrics this year, that doesn’t mean that there were not some dramatic decisions made on the future of the station.
