Over the years, Honda Civic has remained the nation’s favourite compact car, due to its combination of quality, reliability, value, low running costs and a more involving drive than most. However, in order to maintain its place at the top of the compact class, Honda released an all-new 10th generation 2016 Civic at the end of 2015 with the intention of addressing the model’s shortcomings compared to its competitors.

This time last year, I tested the “old” 2015 Honda Civic and concluded that it remains the nation’s favourite compact car due to its combination of quality, reliability, value, low running costs and a more involving drive than most. However, despite having only been around for four model years, newer rivals have usurped it in terms of style, power, efficiency, driving experience, refinement and space.

With the second annual ‘What’s The Big Idea?’ event coming up, it’s the perfect time to check in with the winners from last year’s event and see where they are now.
In Neepawa, the event led to the opening of a brand new business, owned and operated by Darryn Cameron. The name of the business is 4U Home Décor and Consulting. After pitching the idea for this business, the judges awarded Cameron the $1,000 award from the Town of Neepawa. Using this money, Cameron bought a computer and printer, putting the remainder of the money towards general start-up costs.

Sometimes, I find myself at a bit of a cross roads in the grocery store aisles. I’m sure I’m not the only one – in rural Manitoba, we are in a unique position of being both suppliers and consumers.
When it comes to buying one of our main necessities, food, we have a lot of options. We have choices within our home communities, we have choices in neighbouring communities and we have choices in larger regional centres. Overall, in Canada, there are lots of choices, especially as non-traditional grocers, like Wal-Mart, continue to enter the market.
