Hamiota Visit Highlights Rural Manitoba Hospitality
The author recounts a July 1990 trip to Western Manitoba visiting Hamiota Brandon and nearby towns. He praises clean roads, warm welcome from hotel staff and nurses at Hamiota Health Centre, and the kindness of local residents including Pearl Shivas and Betty Cochrane. He recalls encounters with Keith Kirk, Jack and Peggy Smith, Mervena Hazelwood Irwin, and cousins Muriel and Roy William, and notes a new sports centre in Hamiota along with preserved cemetery memories and reflections on local life.
