Highway 18 on the east end of town Monday morning, Feb. 3. Members of the Menno
Area Development Corporation met last week to discuss and brainstorm ideas for
attracting new residents to the community. Various ideas for marketing the
community to young families who may be interested in leaving urban areas for a
more rural lifestyle were discussed, including the best way to market the
