New Program Introduced Under Local Food Bank
By KAREN MITCHELL
M innedosa and Area
Food Bank has re-
cently approved a new pro-
gram under it’s umbrella.
The Weekend Breakfast
Food Program for Stu-
dents, with support from
Food Banks Canada, is an
initiative the Minnedosa
volunteers feel extremely
passionate about.
“Food insecurity and
economic hardships are
a reality for some families
in the Minnedosa commu-
nity,” explained Stephanie
Jordan, Food Bank volun-
teer. “ Research has shown
that when children are
hungry, they experience
challenges with self-con-
trol, interpersonal skills,
attention, and concen-
tration.    Childhood hun-

shifted to weekend break-

Canada, they were able to
provide 19 weekend break-

every Friday; however, this
food supply has now been
depleted.
“Through feedback
from the schools and ongo-

prevalence of child hunger
in Canada, the Minnedosa

decided that it is impor-

fast options to students in
need of proper nutrition,”
stated Jordan. “Therefore,
the Minnedosa Food Bank
will distribute 25 weekend

Coach Barry Dowsett ex-

By KAREN MITCHELL
T he third annual Curl-
ing for a Cure event
was held at the Minnedosa
Curling Rink from Feb-
ruary 14th to 16th. With
popularity increasing by

end to the money they can
raise for such a worthwhile
cause.
Handing over
$18,145.75 to the Canadian
Cancer Society through
Relay for Life in Brandon
from the three-day event,
the group has totalled
$35,265.75 over the three

Yanchycki, event organiz-
er.
On Friday, February
14th the second annual
KidSpiel was held with 26
kids taking part. “We had

who have never curled
before,” stated Yanchycki.
“They had a blast and it
was great to see so many
kids come out and get on
the ice. We had adults on
the ice all night helping
out with the kids and each
kid was sent home with a
gift card to FUN N’ GAMES
who was the sponsor of
event.”
Saturday saw the start
of two full days of curl-
ing, presented by Peterbilt
Manitoba Ltd. The event
was completely filled up
with 16 teams compet-
ing and was started with a
free kick off breakfast for
all the curlers on Saturday
morning. Along with sev-

W ith this year’s RRSP contribution deadline fast

approaching, does it have you wondering if you
should be contributing to an RRSP? Or maybe a TFSA?
What’s the difference?
This year’s Registered Retirement Savings Plan
(RRSP) contribution deadline for the 2019 tax year is
March 2, 2020. This means that any contributions up
until this date can be deducted against 2019 income (or
carried forward). This tax deduction is a major benefit
come tax time, but is it right for you? Or are you better off
contributing to a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA)? Let’s
break down some of the key differences.
RRSPs

TFSAs kyanchycki@minnedosacu.mb.ca
TFSAs are savings accounts that were introduced in
2009 to encourage Canadians to save more. It is a flexible
savings vehicle and allows your investments to grow tax

been around since 1957 to help Canadians save for re-
tirement by allowing tax to be deferred until retirement.
Generally speaking, RRSPs are most advantageous to
individuals who are in a high tax bracket when they are
contributing and plan to be in a lower tax bracket when
they withdraw in retirement.
The contribution limit for RRSPs vary from person to
person because it is 18% of your previous year’s earned
income up to a max of $26,500 (for 2019). These contri-
butions are tax deductible and any unused room carries
forward.
Income earned within an RRSP is tax-sheltered until
withdrawal.
Withdrawals from RRSP are taxed as income and can
impact whether or not you receive all of your government
benefits. Contribution room is not restored after with-
free.
The contribution limit for TFSAs is a set amount each
year which is the same for everyone - $6,000 in 2020.
These contributions are not tax deductible and any un-
used room carries forward.
Income earned within a TFSA is not taxed.
Withdrawals from TFSA are not taxed and do not im-
pact government benefits. Contribution room is restored
in the following calendar year.
May be right for you if:
You’re saving towards an objective that is sooner
than retirement like a vacation, car, wedding, etc.
You’re saving for retirement but are in a low tax
bracket and expect your income to increase significantly.  I (Zelda) accompanied Marvin Sillen and Grace Yer-
