Much like the local reaction to the Canada Day celebrations in Neepawa, Eoin Devereux finds himself conflicted on his opinion toward the lack of festivities. This week, he has written two separate editorials examining both sides of the argument he’s having with himself about it. The companion editorial 'Either lend a hand or get over it!' can be seen at the attached link.
Over the past few days, there has been a fair amount of reaction online to the simplicity of Neepawa’s Canada Day celebrations this year. Some people have said that having a low key event was not a big deal. Others have blasted the Town, especially online, for not putting on a grander spectacle. Now if you have been one of those people jumping in on this discussion, I have no doubt that you have likely said to yourself “Hey what does the local sports guy with the weirdly spelled first name think about all this?”

Out in the community, I’ve noticed a trend. Over the last four years, the rising interest in social issues among today’s youth is becoming hard to miss. This is good news and it gives me hope for the future of our communities.
