Virden is about 45 minutes west of Brandon, Manitoba off the TransCanada. I now have a family connection as the fiancé of my nephew grew up there. I went there this year because the town was putting on a production of The Music Man. It's a nice small community and I think it's wonderful that Elvis & Gladys are visiting the more rural areas, although it's a vibrant town. I had to upload the video to my mediafire account:

Elvis will soon be in the building.
On Feb. 24 and 25, Elvis Stojko, Canada’s most celebrated men’s figure skater and his wife Gladys Orozco will visit the community for two days of seminars at Tundra Oil & Gas Place.
Skate Virden Coach Patty Hole and President Samantha Greenbank secured and organized the whirlwind visit, arranging for accommodations, flights and other logistics to bring the pair to Virden.
“In the fall, we brought in Kaetlyn Osmond – that was just for our club members,” Hole said. “They were trying to figure out who else they could bring in. This might be the smallest place he (Stojko) has come to. He does Stars on Ice all over the place.”
Hole, with more than four decades of experience coaching the sport, is excited for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to host the three-time world figure skating champion and two-time Olympic silver medallist.
