I told him that I was currently travelling in Germany and the call was being forwarded, but I was pretty sure that the park had picnic fascilities and fire pits. None the less, I just checked it up on the Web. Patricia Beach Provincial Park has fire pits!

The Weather for the Beaches along the eastern shore of Lake Winnipeg can be totally different – Even though the Beaches are only about 60 miles north of Winnipeg
Garbage in the more environmentally conscious European countries has become a resource that people are willing to pay for! Garbage is being recycled and incinerated. With the price of non-renewable resources such as copper and iron, sorting the trash and extracting recyclable material has become profitable.
The remains belong to a 22 year old Winnipeg man, last seen in the York Avenue area on February 6th. Apart from the fact the the Winnipeg RCMP major crimes unit is investigating the case as a possible homicide, police were not willing to reveal any more details.
The already badly decomposed body had been found floating in a barrel in the Lee River on Wednesday when two residents of Fisher’s Grove discovered the barrel and its contents while repairing a dock.
RCMP seized 2300 marijuana plants and 10 kilograms of processed marijuana in a major drug bust in the Rural Municipality of St. Clements. The R.M. of St. Clements stretches from Grand Beach down to Libau.
The Festival was ended with former Kinks frontman Ray Davies playing his Waterloo Sunset as a kind of swan song to a great party and a great fesitval.
People may even have to think twice before planning a weekend trip to the cottage. For most families a trip to the Lake from Winnipeg and back with their family car will cost them between 40 and 50 Liters of gasoline. That’s between 60 and 70 bucks right there – and you haven’t picked up groceries, gotten gas for the boat or filled up the propane tank yet.

Though the festival won’t start till tomorrow, the 10th of July, people are scrambling to get a good place to pitch their tent for the event.
Well, Rogers mobile phone services is a lot cheaper than MTS and I liked the phone they were offering with their plan. It wasn’t the iPhone of course, but it was a top of the line Nokia. What I also liked alot was the fact that the technology used enables me to switch the SIM card in the phone and use a different mobile phone provider when I am in Europe. They also told me that the Rogers phone services would work in Europe, but admitted that the roaming costs would kill me. One thing I just cannot understand though, is why in Canada we have to pay extra for every little thing that Europeans consider to be part of a standard mobile phone package – such as ‘caller-id display’, ‘call forwarding’, ‘voice mail’, etc. In Europe nobody would accept a mobile plan where you have to pay for incoming calls either.
Though it can be sunny at the Beaches the weather forcast for Southern Manitoba will predict rain. I wish Environment Canada would discover the area from Patricia Beach to Victoria Beach. Not even Grand Beach gets mentioned in 99% of the weather forecasts! A good place to check the current weather is our Eastern Beaches Website. We have a link there that displays the current weather for the Beaches Area of Manitoba.
