Schriemer Family Farm was founded by Trevor & Hendricks Schriemer after they moved to Otterburne, MB in 1999. Trevor’s experience in owning and operating his father’s Fruit Market business gave him an understanding on consumer’s demands, leading him to start a farm. They’re now a multigenerational farm that grows a variety of quality vegetables. You can pick-up their delicious cucumbers and grape and hothouse tomatoes in our Produce Department.

30th Gala Dinner and Dance
The 2022 Gala Committee is pleased to present tickets and sponsorship opportunities available for the 30th Gala Dinner and Dance planned for September 24. The Gala Committee is comprised of a group of community volunteers who have seen many years of success. We hope to continue this successful path with the 2022 event. You can help make that happen! In 2020/21, proceeds of $77,977 were used for the NICU Stay Within Reach Renovation project. Once completed, the renovations will allow parents of NICU babes a comfortable environment to stay while remaining close to their new baby. The proceeds from 2022 will be used for the purchase of much needed equipment at the BRHC.

Referred by Your Physician
Waiting for your Cancer PET/CT imaging appointment? Cancer doesn’t stop & wait with you. That’s why people choose to have PET/CT imaging done privately. Receiving these reports sooner allows for treatment to start sooner. PET/CT assists with: CANCER – detecting cancer, revealing cancer spread, confirming cancer treatment effectiveness, finding a cancer recurrence. BRAIN DISORDERS – clarifying early diagnosis of dementia, confirming possible Alzheimer’s diagnosis. HEART DISEASE – Confirming cardiac sarcoidosis presence/recurrence. If you have been referred by your physician for a PET/CT scan and are waiting for your appointment it may be time to ask your oncologist, urologist, or GP to make a referral to INITIO Medical.
