When Deb Turner talks about Inner View Health Solutions, it’s clear this business is more than a job—it’s a personal mission. Her journey started years ago after struggling with multiple misdiagnoses before finally learning she had Crohn’s disease. The medication she was prescribed came with harsh side effects, and Deb realized she wasn’t getting the help she needed. That experience sparked a decision that changed everything: she went back to school to become a nutritional pr

Du-Rite Motors has been part of Boissevain's story for a long time—since 1959, in fact. It all started with George Dyck, who opened the business as a car and tractor dealership across from the Co-op Home Centre. Over the years, the company has seen its share of changes. After an explosion in 1992, Du-Rite moved to its current location. After George's passing in 2010, the shop was purchased by Marjorie Coupland, Lonnie Graham, and Jeff Hagyard, who kept it running until 2015.

On a quiet stretch of prairie just outside Boissevain, there's a place where the sky feels a little bigger and time seems to move a little slower. The Back 40 Hideaway didn't begin as a grand plan—it started with family. When Jen Howarth and Ritchie Barwick opened the doors in September 2023, she was continuing a tradition that runs deep in her life. Her grandmother and mother owned the Trails West Motor Inn in Brandon, and those memories—warm welcomes, coffee on, beds turned

When you walk into the Boissevain Bakeshop, the first thing you notice is the smell—warm bread, sweet pastries, and something fresh from the oven that makes you slow down and breathe it in. For Alex Moody, that smell is more than a sign of good baking. It’s the scent of a dream realized.   Alex grew up in Boissevain, attended school here from kindergarten through grade twelve, and has always had a love of food. After graduating from Assiniboine Community College's Culinary Ar

Nestled on the Strain family farm just outside Boissevain, Country Lane Florals is more than a flower shop—it’s a story of creativity, community, and care. Country Lane Florals is a business that grew from a simple idea and a love of creativity. Back in 2019, Sharon Strain started making outdoor Christmas Porch Pots using evergreens from her family farm. One day, a customer asked if she could make an indoor Christmas pot—and that single request sparked the beginning of Countr

Turtle Mountain Physiotherapy has been part of Boissevain’s heartbeat for over 20 years. Merle Neufeld first came to town in 1998, working part-time out of a satellite office of West-Fit Physiotherapy in the Arts Council building. He split his time between Boissevain, Brandon, and the local hospital. As more people sought his care, Merle made the move to Boissevain full-time and officially opened Turtle Mountain Physiotherapy in 2001.   In the early years, Merle briefly expan
