Summer fun is just getting started in Rossmere

At last, summer is here, and it arrived with a burst of creativity and community spirit!
We kicked things off with something truly special. On June 14, one of our favourite Rossmere gathering places, Scout: Coffee + Community, hosted its Mini Maker Market, filling the parking lot with colour, excitement, and the unmistakable buzz of young entrepreneurs bringing their ideas to life.
The Mini Maker Market is more than an event, it’s an experience that empowers children and youth to imagine, design, and launch their very own small businesses. From handmade crafts to inventive treats and creative services, these young makers dream big and work hard, learning what it means to take an idea from concept to customer. Along the way, they gain hands‑on skills in entrepreneurship, financial literacy, communication, and leadership, lessons that will stay with them long after the tents come down.

What makes the day so inspiring is the heart behind every booth. You can see the pride in their displays, the confidence growing with each customer interaction, and the joy of realizing that their creativity has real value. It’s a reminder of how capable, imaginative, and resilient our young people truly are.
And speaking of resilience, we want to extend a heartfelt congratulations to all this years’ high school graduates. This milestone represents years of dedication, growth, and perseverance. Whether you’re stepping into further studies, new jobs, or new adventures, your community is cheering you on! We can’t wait to see what you build next, because if this year’s Mini Makers are any indication, the future is in very good hands.
As your MLA, it is always a privilege to hear from you. Whether you have a question or a concern, please do not hesitate to reach out anytime at 204-661-1377 or tracy.schmidt@yourmanitoba.ca
