Description

What does neighbourly care look like when it shows up in everyday life—free from noise, but rooted in presence?

This story turns our attention to ordinary moments: a shared meal in a Manitoba winter, ribbons tied on a neighbour’s door, volunteers sweeping a curling rink, and even the debates sparked by a rooster at sunrise. Through gentle headlines and honest reflections, we’re invited to notice the small, sustaining gestures that keep communities connected long after the headlines fade.
