There are times when the provincial government needs to take a step back and realize experts know what they are talking about. Health Minister Mark McLane now says there are key performance indicators family physicians need to meet, which include having a patient load of 1,600 and carrying out 24 visits per day. This a year after the new physicians agreement was signed by all parties. kAmu2>:=J A9JD:4:2?D <?@H 36EE6C E92? 2 8@G6C?>6?E >:?:DE6C ;FDE 9@H 3:8 @7 2 A2E:6?E =@25 E96J 42?

The speech from the throne is meant to outline what Canadians are in store for with the new federal government. Last week’s speech strayed a bit from the norm, with it being only the third time it was given by a monarch and King Charles adding his own words at the beginning. But it checked a lot of boxes nonetheless. kAmx?E6C6DE:?8=J E96 DA6649 2==F565 E@ E96 724E “8@G6C?>6?E’D @G6C2C49:?8 8@2= – :ED 4@C6 >:DD:@? – :D E@ 3F:=5 E96 DEC@?86DE 64@?@>J :?

Some Souris town councillors are looking to change the way town business is dealt with, while others are happy with the status quo. “If we had two meetings a month and they were held two weeks apart, a well managed agenda for both of them would get all (relevant) discussions out there,” Councillor Kim Outhouse said opening the discussion on moving from a council of committees to a committee of council model.

Once a month several volunteers at Hillcrest United Church arrive at the kitchen, don their aprons and dive into the prep for the free community meal. Soup, sandwiches and desserts of every description are on the menu of the luncheon held on the third Thursday of every month, said Sandra MacDonald, who had been named the chief delegator, but is quick to describe the vast number of volunteers who do their part. kAm“%96C6 2C6 6:89E @7 FD 96C6 E@52J[ 3FE H6 42?
