Posting season at CFB Shilo can be a hectic time as residents see old neighbours move away and new neighbours take their place.
During the shuffle, Jodi Laba, from Canadian Forces Housing Agency, performs inspections on units to ensure there is no damage.
She also debunked the myth that residents are free of damage charges after 10 years.
"Flooring, for example, is on a 10-year life-cycle. If you live in a house for eight years, and the flooring is damaged, you would pay 20 per cent of the cost, as we would expect to only get another two years out of the flooring anyway."
Boissevain Recorder
Murray Fingas, Ross Wilkinson, Les Houston and Doug Robertson captured the 2013 Minto Bonspiel.

Boissevain Recorder
After a successful 2012 year, economic development officer Dale Banman has set his sights on some of the empty buildings located along Main Street in Boissevain.

Hamiota’s Kerry Wilson, 37, has nothing but positive things to say after undergoing Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency Liberation surgery late last year in California.
"Even before the surgeon was finished I noticed physical changes," she said. "The pressure in my head was released as the valve in my left jugular was opened. the life long headache at the back of my head was gone. A feeling of warth followed and within hours more changed emerged. The tightness in my chest was lifted, my heart beat felt stronger, my colour improved, and my extremities did not feel cold anymore."
