DAR R E L L N E SBIT T / CR O SSR O ADS T H IS W E E K Our connection to the land makes us unique as Manitobans, and spending time among an idyllic prairie farm setting for a few minutes, hours or days is good for the soul. Before the snow falls, there is nothing short of adventure, beauty and excitement as livestock producers, horses included, open the gates and bring animals home. This draft foal pastured just northwest of Birtle is among the horses throughout the area that enrich the views.

As the cooler weather starts to set in and leaves begin to fall, this time of year comes with an essential reminder – it’s time to get your flu shot! Prairie Mountain Health has started to dot the landscape with seasonal flu vaccine clinics, facilitating over 20 regional influenza clinics across the region.
The flu vaccine is important for everyone aged six months and older since flu viruses change frequently, and immunity from a previous vaccine weakens over time. Each year, the vaccine is updated to protect against the most recent strains of the virus, making yearly shots essential to those needing protection. The flu and accompanying respiratory illnesses hit hardest during the fall and winter months,
making now the perfect time to strengthen your defenses. The flu can lead to complications such as pneumonia, worsening of chronic health conditions, and even hospitalization. Protecting yourself means also protecting those around you, especially the most vulnerable populations. While appointments are preferred for convenience, walk-ins are welcome at select locations. Booking is available through the
Prairie Mountain Health website or by calling 1-844-626-8222.
