The history of the Manitoba Restaurant Association dates back to 1944 when we were known as the Canadian Restaurant Association (CRA) Manitoba Division. A branch of the Manitoba Restaurant and Foodservices Association (MRFA) was later formed as a fee sharing affiliate of the CRFA and grew steadily. As an association with over 400 restaurant members and 100 associate members we made the decision on January 1, 1998 to split from the CRFA in order to serve our members better. In December of 1998 we became the Manitoba Restaurant & Foodservices Association Inc.
The Roofing Contractors Association of Manitoba (RCAM) was founded in the early 60's to be the provincial affiliate of a fledgling trade group called the Canadian Roofing Contractors' Association (CRCA). Over 40 years have gone by and we've seen our respective associations grow and mature into the highly regarded groups they are today. Our membership consists of two main categories:roofing contractors, who are actively engaged in the construction of commercial, industrial and institutional ''flat'' roofs, andassociate members - the companies engaged in manufacturing and/or supplying materials and services used in our industry.A third category of membership in RCAM is that of Honorary Life Membership which recognizes those individuals whose contributions to the roofing industry helped to make our association into the vital group that it is today. RCAM has been well represented at the national level, having had five of its members serve as CRCA President.
St. Vital MuseumWelcome to the St. Vital MuseumThe former St. Vital police station, located within the fire station at 600 St. Mary's Road, is now the current home of the St. Vital Museum. It is a two-storey brick structure with stone facing on the main level. Erected in 1914, the station housed both the St. Vital Police and Fire Departments, the latter of which first began operating with three horse-drawn carriages and six firemen. At the rear were stables for horses which drew the wagons and sleighs up until the 1930's at which point pumper trucks were used. The first fire truck appeared in 1923 with the purchase of an REO Speedwagon. The second floor of the building also originally provided living quarters for the firemen.

Pulford Community Living Services Inc., a not-for-profit community based organization, was established in November 1986 in response to the closing of a guest home that threatened to leave several people homeless. On December 1, 1986, three people moved from the guest home into their own home on Fleet Avenue, assisted by Pulford. Since 1986, Pulford has continuously provided housing and supports to persons with a developmental disability. The supports provided by P.C.L.S. Inc. and its employees are intended to encourage and facilitate, to the greatest possible extent, the individual's ability to live and grow in ways that the individual sees fit.
