We are strangely selective about what counts as a sport. Put a gymnast on a floor and the public immediately recognizes discipline, danger and elite performance. Put an aerialist in the air, whether on straps, hoop or flying pole, and many will not hesitate to […]
In February of this year, Regina and the RM of Sherwood first started talking about bringing an AI data centre into town. At a glance, it seems rather innocent- just a building full of humming circuits churning through ones and zeroes. But, are we comfortable […]
A small farm town is making a name for itself with the Raymore Summer Slam, a fundraiser that brought relief to tornado devastated families and donated to the town swimming pool. Raymore is like many farming communities. Looking down Main Street you see the old […]
The Raymore Community Health and Social Centre, a small clinic in the heart of town, used to see patients from Raymore and the surrounding areas four days a week. Now it’s down to two. There used to be a doctor there two days a week. […]
Like some other Prairie towns, Raymore has no sign honouring a local athlete on its outskirts. Which is odd, considering Daniel Focht, first ever draft pick of the Phoenix Coyotes, was born and raised there. While Focht is recognized in the local rink, as the […]

In a small town like Raymore, buying second-hand is more than just a trend – it’s a community institution. That’s why entrepreneur Elden Conley started the Second Glance Thrift Store, though the quaint shop might not be the best representation of a business. “It’s all […]
