Here's a little history of the area!!
Grand Marais is a community in Manitoba, Canada within the Rural Municipality of St. Clements. It is located immediately south of Grand Beach Provincial Park on Lake Winnipeg at the base of Grand Marais Point.  The community forms part of a Statistics Canada designated place
named Grand Marais/Grand Beach. 
Grand Beach is a freshwater beach located within the Rural Municipality of St. Clements on the eastern shore of Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba, Canada. It is located on the northern edge of the town of Grand Marais, Manitoba. Grand Beach is on the historic La Vérendrye Trail and Greyhound provides buses to Grand Beach on a limited bus service.

Originally founded by homesteaders, it was home to a substantial Metis community who were the only settlers until the Canadian Northern Railway built its line and set up the resort along the 'Grand' beach in 1917. After being made accessible by the railway it became a very popular resort for Manitobans.  In the early days the grandest of all buildings in the resort was the Dance Pavilion, rated by some as the largest dance hall of its time in the Commonwealth. It was destroyed in a fire in 1950. Along with the incredible beaches the dance hall made Grand Beach a very attractive day trip destination for Winnipeggers in the 1920s. This was made possible by regular train services to the capital (Winnipeg), with the last train for Winnipeg leaving at midnight.

Grand Beach is part of Grand Beach Provincial Park and features 3 km of fine, white sand and is backed by sand dunes that rise up to 12 meters above the beach. A boardwalk at the West end of the beach offers food and shopping. Change rooms and plumbed washrooms are available all along the beach.

Enjoy a Labour Day weekend tradition in a new more comfortable way, and help a worthy cause

 

Friday night I paid my first visit to  Investors Group Field, hoping that I might bring the Winnipeg Blue Bombers the luck they needed to record their first victory in their new home. Alas, it was not to be as the Hamilton TiCats prevailed 37-18.

 

After a return match with Hamilton at the TiCats temporary home at the University of Guelph next weekend, the Bombers will engage in their annual home and home matches with my other favourite team, the Saskatchewan Roughriders. My allegiance to the Riders is blood-related. My dear departed Dad, Andy Currie, played for them in two Grey Cup games, in 1928 and 1930 when he was still in his teens.

 

While I’ve spent most of my life in Winnipeg and have lived and died with the Blue Bombers since the 1950’s, on the first two weekends in September I usually declare “I’m happy with whatever the result might be.” I have spent a total of 11 years living in Regina, and I attended my first Labour Day Classic back in 1962 just before I began my freshman year at Kelvin in Winnipeg.

 

I have been at Taylor Field ( now known as Mosaic Stadium ) on more than 20 Labour Day weekends since that first encounter, but this year I’m going to enjoy game on Sunday September 1^st on Manitoba’s largest indoor TV screen. It’s at the Metropolitan Entertainment Centre and the high definition image measures an incredible 35 feet by 26 feet.

 

In some ways it’s better than being there, especially if your mobility is challenged like mine, making it a bit of chore to climb stairs and line up for washrooms and over-priced eats. When the Bombers and Roughriders clash, why not join us the  Met  for a  Bud, Spud and Steak. That’s the latest rage when it comes to fundraising, and the Canad Inns folks have become very skilled at it. On this occasion we’re raising money for the  Manitoba Lung Association. Since returning to Winnipeg in May of 2012, I’ve been honoured to serve on their board.

 

Tickets for September 1^st are just $20 , and that covers everything except your beverages. The game starts at 3pm Winnipeg time, and doors will be open at the Met at 1.30 that afternoon.

 

Tickets are available at the Manitoba Lung Association office at 629 McDermott Avenue in Winnipeg. You can also reserve tickets with a credit card by calling  ( 204 ) 774-5501 during office hours.

Tickets are also available at the Met, starting 10.30am each day. Their phone number is  ( 204 ) 594-9494.

 

If you really want special treatment, e-mail me at  rogerc@mymts.net  and I will personally arrange to get tickets to you.

 

In addition to the food and the game, we’ll have a number of prize packages up for auction, and blue or green beer and popcorn will be served.

 

So put on your blue jersey or the green, like me, and come on along. 

 

Please help support the Manitoba Lung Association!!! 

 

 

  

110 Ralph Avenue East located in East Transcona

We are excited to tell you about this great family home located in the heart of a wonderful community called “Transcona”,  practically next door to Roland Michener arena/Transcona stadium and close to all levels of school, shopping and transportation.




Transcona is a suburb of Winnipeg, Manitoba located about 10 kilometres (6 miles) east of the downtown area. Until 1972 it was a separate municipality, having been incorporated first as the Town of Transcona in 1912 and then as the City of Transcona in 1961. Today it is represented by the Transcona city ward, represented by a member of Winnipeg City Council, and, with much larger boundaries including large areas that were part of the Municipality of North Kildonan, much of the area west of Plessis, the Transcona neighbourhood cluster. It is primarily a working class residential suburb with some light industry.

 

 

 

 

 

When you drive up to this home you will be amazed by its sheer size and unique appearance.  This 2 Storey, custom built home has to offer you 1848 square feet of living space, 4 bedrooms, 1 full and 2 half bathrooms.

After walking past the beautifully landscaped front yard and opening the front door you will be greeted by a large entrance way with new flooring and an ample sized closet.  Immediately to the left you will see a large living room with newer windows & neutral paint colours that complement the brand new modern laminate flooring.   Open to the living room you will find a large family eating area / dining room and a BRAND NEW sleek kitchen that will make cooking for your family an absolute pleasure!  Not only does it feature brand new dark stained cabinets with modern pulls, it has a new counter top, sink & faucet. Finishing off the kitchen is a gorgeous back splash that compliments the space nicely and is easy to maintain.  Has it been mentioned that the Stainless Steel fridge, stove & Dishwasher are included with the sale of this home?  Also located on this floor is a 2 pce washroom, mud room and extra storage.  The mud room leads to the attached double garage (20x22) with even more storage!  Want to take your morning coffee or early evening wine outside?  Step right off your new kitchen to a great private cozy deck. 

Located in the living room you will find a beautiful loft style spiral staircase that leads to the second floor.  As you make your way up this staircase please notice the high ceilings and very large window that allows in a flood of light!  At the top of the stairs you will immediately be welcomed by an open family room / den.  The large master bedroom is located at the front of the upper level with brand new flooring, newer paint & windows.  A very welcoming space indeed and it’s complimented with a 2 piece ensuite and a good sized walk in closet.  The very wide hallway will lead you down to 3 more bedrooms that are all generous in size and a very large bathroom that has double sinks with plenty of storage.  Also conveniently located on this floor you have your laundry room (washer and dryer included) with an additional storage room located directly beside it. This floor has also had new flooring professionally installed with a lick of new paint added to some of the spaces.  You might wonder what the tall steal bar is that is located at the top of the stairs.  Thinking outside the box, this smart home owner installed it to make it easy to hoist furniture or appliances up to the second floor.  Ingenious!

With its square posture and unique interior this truly is a one of a kind home that has been lovingly lived in for the past 21 years by a wonderful family, a feisty dog and a happy cat. 

Call to view this great home or come by our OPEN HOUSE on Sunday, August 11^th from 2-4 pm and we will proudly take you on a tour.
