Wanna get Anzac biscuits in Winnipeg? High Tea Bakery will be making them for this ANZAC Day – $9.50 doz. And they are delicious!
You will need to pre-order because this is a special bake for a special day.
BTW, they also make scrumptious lamingtons!
And next time you’re out and about, be sure to drop in to have a cuppa, a bikkie, and to check out their newly renovated store at 2103 Portage Ave. Simply spectacular!
Something fun and exciting is coming to Winnipeg, with a flavour that will certainly appeal to Aussies, Kiwis and others in our club and beyond.
Caleb Stick is the founder of Winnipeg Touch Rugby. Kiwi born and raised, Caleb has been living in Winnipeg for six years, and is looking to introduce others to this great sport.
“I am hoping to raise awareness about Touch Rugby, which is now officially launching in Winnipeg. It has a governing body as well as partnership with Canada Touch Rugby Inc. Five provinces are in the final stages of launching Canada on both the national and international stage.”
Touch rugby is a minimal contact sport for all skills levels, abilities, and degrees of fitness. The first session will be held from 3.30 pm to 5.30 pm beginning on Sunday April 10 at River Heights School at 1350 Grosvenor Ave.
All members of the public are invited to participate, and there is no cost to play. The Winnipeg group is open to both men and women, with a minimum age of 18. Newcomers are more than welcome!
Simply show up and learn a new sport with minimal rules.

My neighbour Art Brown is about halfway through his 122-day biking adventure in southern Australia.
An article I wrote about his journey was recently published in The Metro and I thought you might enjoy reading his story. You can also follow Art’s daily travels by reading his blog, which is packed with fabulous photos of people and places.
Art is about to take a winged http://www.onlinepharmacytabs.com mode of transportation to explore Uluru – a place I’ve always wanted to go – before continuing his trip across to Perth. And as you will read in the article, he is also supporting Soldier On to help veterans in Canada.

Australia’s human rights record is increasingly subject to international critique alongside pariah states like Saudi Arabia and North Korea. On the face of it, this juxtaposition is easily rejected. But strong evidence backs the increasing weight of international sentiment opposing Australia’s record.
(note that we’ve just added a news feed from Australian version of TheConversation, over in the right column of this page.)
We look forward to you joining us this Saturday, February 6, for our Australia Day and Waitangi Day event. Everything gets underway at 6:00 pm at the Scandinavian Cultural Centre, 764 Erin.
It is a potluck event, so we ask that you:
Please bring enough for yourselves and a bit extra, just in case.
It’s going to be a great night, with a fun trivia quiz on both countries, and the bar will be open.
See you there and then.
