Neepawa Ukrainian family turns dream into business
4 minute read 2:00 AM CDTSOURIS — A Ukrainian family that settled in Neepawa four years ago has turned an idea born from community observation into a new local business.
Happy Clover Food Truck is now serving customers across Neepawa and at community events throughout Westman, offering a menu that includes shawarma, bubble waffles, specialty hot dogs, coffee and ice cream.
Veronika Plis said the business is owned by her parents, Roman and Nataliia Zhuniak, while she helps with translating, meetings and customer interactions as the family continues to strengthen its English skills.
“We started the business because we wanted to create a place where parents could grab a coffee or ice cream with their children during the day, while teenagers could have somewhere to stop during evening walks,” she told the Sun when the food truck family set up at the 2026 Souris Peacock Days & Fair earlier this month.

Temporary foreign workers rally to stay
3 minute read Yesterday at 2:00 AM CDTWINNIPEG — Close to 100 temporary foreign workers, mainly from China, whose time in Canada is running out, rallied on the steps of the Manitoba legislature Tuesday to raise awareness of their situation.
They arrived in Manitoba before the federal government cut immigration levels — when international students and temporary foreign workers had a shot at becoming permanent residents if they met the requirements to stay, said Ruby Lu.
“We come here for a few years and we work for a few years, pay taxes. Some of us are already bought a house,” said Lu, whose work permit expires at the end of the year.
“So if our (permit) expires, we don’t know what to do,” she said in front of demonstrators holding signs with messages including “we love Manitoba” and “bring back TPP” — the temporary public policy used by the Manitoba provincial nominee program to support open work permits and prioritize permanent residency for select candidates.

OTTAWA OFFERS $100M LOAN
OTTAWA — The federal government is extending a $100-million loan to help a forest products company in Western Canada cope with tariffs and trade uncertainty.
Finance Canada said it’s offering the funds to Millar Western Forest Products, a company that runs three pulp mills across Alberta and British Columbia, to help the company with near-term needs like rebuilding its log inventory.
Canada’s forest sector has been hit directly by steep U.S. tariffs but Finance Canada also said the domestic softwood lumber industry is struggling under the weight of global trade disputes.
