One year ago Kim realized the need for a larger studio space to build her business further and began looking for the perfect location. Kim and her husband John were drawn to Carol Hassard's former Carol’s Time Again Treasures shop at 211 Main and saw great potential. In February of this year, Carol handed over the keys of her former building to new owner, Kim Klassen.

Readers may recall that two years ago Riverdale Community Daycare began the long process of fundraising and submitting applications for safety regulations, etc. Last October they announced three rooms in Rivers Collegiate will be renovated for 32 childcare placements, 24 preschool and eight infants. In May they reported some indoor and outdoor play equipment had been purchased and that their work with Manitoba Family Services Regulatory Board (adhering to a comprehensive list of rules and stipulations) continues. The committee co-ordinated two fundraisers in conjunction with Rivers fair on July 8 and they submitted an application to win a $25,000 Together We Thrive grant in August; Dauphin was the Manitoba winner. Their regulatory work and fundraising efforts continue with two more events confirmed for September and October.
