ELEMENTARY SCHOOL:
Parkland Elementary School. It was basically in my backyard. We moved to a new house when I was in Grade 3 or 4, so I could walk through my backyard and go right to school. It was actually built on my dad's land. It's pretty standard, big soccer fields, basketball court. I always liked math class. I was good at it. In grade school, I remember we would always know the assignments beforehand, so I would just do the work at home. Then, when I got to class, my work would be done and we were allowed to play mini-sticks in the hall.
WHAT IT'S FAMOUS FOR:
Farmers. There's some great farmland around Winkler. I think that's what attracted a lot of people. My dad farmed with his brothers for a long time. They still have the farm, but my dad doesn't really work on it anymore. His two brothers do, though. Winkler also has some companies like Meridian Manufacturing, which is a bin building company. There's also Triple E. They make campers and ship them everywhere.
