Many of us eat on the go, but most of the time we don’t think about what we eat! What are we putting in our bodies? Is it real food? Or food full of preservatives that our bodies can’t digest? Start eating real food, before any resulting body pain, fatigue, and illness occur. Eating healthy, real food can also save you money in the long run, helping to keep diseases and conditions at bay. Rather than rely on advertising for convenience foods, do your own research and try to buy fresh, local food whenever possible.

Made in Winnipeg, Bliss Gourmet Cookies are hand-crafted authentic Italian recipes that have been passed down three generations. Bliss Gourmet has strong family ties to Italian culture, instilled in the family by their father, who gave them the drive to share the traditions. Growing up in the family business, working alongside their father, the family developed the art and fueled their passion for baking. These baked goods have symbolic meaning, so carrying on their father’s recipes and legacy makes them feel closer to him. Look for Manitoba-made Bliss Gourmet Cookies the next time you do your grocery shopping at Sobeys.

Have you ever asked yourself, how could I be rescued if my door was locked? Time is of the essence during a fire or medical emergency. Install a Lock Box – a small weather-resistant metal box that securely holds a set of keys. Should an emergency occur while you are unable to open the door or get out of the residence, Brandon Fire & Emergency Services (BFES) can access your property without having to break-in.
