Tales from the Mennonite Heritage Archives – Episode 91
A young Dr. C. W. Wiebe and his wife, Helena Groening Wiebe (CA MHC PP-Photo coll. 166-014.0)
This weekend, we have the story of an early Winkler area doctor. C.W. Wiebe, the first Mennonite from Manitoba to qualify as a medical doctor and the first Mennonite to sit in the Legislative Assembly. He attended at the births of thousands of babies, and had a reputation for wearing out cars in rapid succession. Today, the C.W. Wiebe Medical Centre in Winkler is named in honour of his commitment to public health over 53 years of service.
