A local business formerly run as a student-led enterprise at Brandon University took a step forward late last month when it opened a brick-and-mortar retail outlet on Rosser Avenue.
According to founder Parker Easter, ReNu Hygienics — which opened at the 15th and Rosser Mall on July 31 — saw its fair share of challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic but is ready to ramp up production.

A Brandon University Master’s student who is studying fossilized pollen and spores (called palynology) has been recognized with three awards for her ongoing research and outstanding potential.
Nidhi Patel, who is earning a Master of Science in Environmental and Life Sciences (MELS) at BU after previously earning a Bachelor of Science here, said the recognition is motivating.
