People walking around Portage la Prairie in the last few days are enjoying the warm weather that's extremely unusual for this time of year. Arthur Roulette was sitting with his cousins on a park bench at Crescent Lake, and shares how he's taking advantage of the weather.

"I'm working out in the yard. I'm just sitting down here enjoying the weather, watching the geese. This is the month of Indian Summer. The elders call it Indian Summer. I'm from Sandy Bay just visiting in Long Plain First Nation with my cousins Howard and Marcus."

Sue Fawcett's a Portager and says the weather's gorgeous and hopes it continues another month. She notes she's catching up on work outside around her house, including painting while wearing short sleeves and sandals.

Fawcett adds, "This is just unbelievable."
