The 20,000 acre inland port, located in the City of Winnipeg and the R.M. of Rosser, provides companies with excellent access to multiple transportation options, fully-
serviced industrial land and existing infrastructure that supports future growth. Foundational infrastructure has led to significant private sector investment, resulting in construction activity, increased municipal and provincial tax revenues, and high-quality jobs for Manitobans. u 4 ‘Centreport’

While most of us in Winnipeg have been hunkered down, focussing on COVID-19, business has forged ahead at CentrePort. Take a drive out there and you will marvel at the development in an area that was empty of other than farming just a few years ago. Lifestyles 55 will take you on a journey of discovery with CEO, Diane Gray, every second month while we explore the Spirit of Winnipeg.

CentrePort Canada: A thriving inland port in the heart of Manitoba
en years ago, if you stood at the intersection of Inkster and Brookside Boulevards and gazed west, you would have seen farmer’s fields, gravel roads and prairie vistas. Today, you can see a thriving inland port: sold out industrial parks, active construction sites and a flurry of activity. Thanks to long-term planning and strategic infrastructure investments, those

s we age, one of the diseases we fear the most is dementia. Thankfully, promising new research shows proven methods of preventing and possibly even reversing this condition. Dementia describes a variety of symptoms including memory loss, but it can also affect language and motor skills, intellectual functions, and our ability to make sound judgements. The most common form is Alzheimer’s disease, which destroys brain cells, resulting in impaired and deteriorating memory with the loss of cognitive functions. Based on my integrated lifestyle approach to achieving optimum health and wellness, I’ve out-
lined eleven steps that are designed to help improve cognition and reduce the risk of dementia: (1) Regular Exercise, (2) Healthy Diet, (3) Dietary Supplements, (4) Mental Stimulation, (5) Engaging in Creative Endeavors, (6) Quality and Quantity of Sleep, (7) Good Oral Health, (8) Social Engagement, (9) Stress Management, (10) Avoiding Prescription Drugs that Increase the Risk of Dementia and (11) Avoiding Health Hazards. Exercise and balance: choosing the right workout can fine tune your brain Regular exercise is recommended to ensure we don’t lose lean muscle as we age (sarcopenia), and it helps make sure we can perform the basic physical activities of daily life. New research is showing that exercise can also make us smarter. u 7 ‘The benefits of tai chi’
combustion engine is the most economical form of power in just about every industry in today’s economy. What if you could improve that efficiency with some stateof-the-art technology? Could this be a better answer than electrical source energy that is being currently promoted? A Canadian company, Innovative Hydrogen Solutions, has developed a technology that produces a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen gases “on demand” through a controlled electrolysis process. These gases are then delivered to an engine’s air intake, where they enhance the combustion process. Adding these gases with their IHS Hydrogen Injection System to a diesel engine or generator improves overall engine combustion efficiency by producing a more complete burn of the airfuel mixture. The result is a decrease in greenhouse gases, reduced emissions and an increase in fuel economy Enabling a combustion engine to burn all harmful emissions in the combustion chamber while the engine is running, solves a lot of issues for our future, and promotes the better use of fossil fuels. Removing up to eighty-five per-cent of emissions created through combustion makes for clean air for the environment. With this information, why are our governments at all levels promoting this electrification, when its outcomes are so negative? Electricity does not consistently provide the same reserve power as combustion, and, according to scientific research, ultimately creates more harmful emissions, cradle-to-grave, through its production and, later, the disposal of that same production material. The cost is doubled because it provides lower outcomes. Instead of reducing emissions, current methods of working with electricity contribute even more emissions of GHGs. Creating electricity using hydro power also takes huge combustion engines which produce significant emissions, polluting the water with the soot and hydrocarbons.
