Combatting PTSD one ride at a time
‘The Rolling Barrage’ set to visit Neepawa on Aug. 14
By Casper Wehrhahn
A thunderous force of good is on its way to Neepawa. For the fifth year, The Rolling Barrage– a cross-Canada ride via motorbike– will be making a pitstop in this community. The Rolling Barrage is hosted annually to raise awareness of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental and physical challenges, and seeks to end the stigma surrounding them.
The ride also raises funds via donations which are then contributed to support programs across Canada for veterans, those in active duty, and first responders.
“All are welcome to join us at the Neepawa Legion on Aug. 14 to greet the riders, look at their bikes, and enjoy a wonderful supper prepared by the Legion Ladies Auxiliary,” said Bruce Bremner, Neepawa Legion representative. “Donations will also be accepted to be donated to Rolling Barrage.”
Per The Rolling Barrage’s route guide, their estimated time of arrival to the Neepawa Legion is 4:25 p.m.

2026 a year for the books
For the Barrage itself, 2026 is a special year in the charitable organization’s personal history book– its 10th birthday.
The idea for The Rolling Barrage began in 2016 with a man named Scott Casey, who had envisioned the ride, its premise, and goal. The organization was established that same year, and the inaugural cross-Canada Rolling Barrage ride was held in 2017.
This also means the organization is on the cusp of its 10th annual trek across the country, which will take place in 2027.
