The Parkland's most up-to-date source of local news.

In a year-end interview with CKDM News Now Grandview Municipality Mayor Lyle Morran says farmers in the west Parkland community had a strong year in 2025.

"I think generally inthis area the yields were among the highest that they have ever been.  Unfortunately the prices are way down which makes it tough because costs continue to go up.   Land prices have really jumped so far but there still seems to be a demand to buy and rent land.  I think any of the established farmers will say that they had a good year."

As for the Municipality Morran says their country roads are in good shape after getting a lot of gravel put on them and grading done this year.

Another big highlight was the progress made towards a new ice plant for both the skatig rink and curling rink in that community after the province came forward with some funding.

Manitoba Public Insurance is out with its annual list of the top 5 most interesting fraud cases that they uncovered in 2025.

Spokesperson Tara Seel says they release this list to inform Manitobans of how significant auto insurance fraud is occurring in the province. 
"Our Special Investigation Unit at Manitoba Public Insurance uncovered fraud worth around 17 million dollars in 2025.  So that saved $17 million out of the pockets of all Manitobans.  And, the thing is, there was probably more that was not caught."
Seel says Manitobans need to continue contacting MPI or Crimestoppers if they are aware of any cases of auto insurance fraud taking place.  
The list includes a bodybuilder, that continued to work out despite receiving Income Replacement benefits and Personal Care Assistance payments following a car accident and a report of a stolen vehicle that was eventually found on a shipping container in Ontario headed for Dubai.
