A major spring cleanup is officially underway in Winnipeg. 

Starting Sunday, crews will begin freshening up the city working street by street cleaning up roadways, bridges, sidewalks, pathways, alleys, boulevards and litter and debris in public parks.

The cleanup is expected to take six weeks to complete, with active transportation routes being the first to be cleaned.

The operation will take 300 pieces of equipment to complete and around 500 workers.

During this time, Winnipeggers are reminded to know their zone and check regularly for no parking signs.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre promised to cut red tape and step up support for veterans Saturday, while Liberal Leader Mark Carney pledged to make visiting national parks and museums more affordable for Canadian families.

Poilievre unveiled his party's plan for veterans during a press conference in Nepean, the suburban Ottawa community that contains the neighbouring ridings where he and Carney are running. 

Carney did not have any public events scheduled. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh's itinerary shows he will hold an evening event in Timmins, Ont.

1 Corinthians 15:1, 3-4

The resurrection of Christ

"Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand ... For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures."

Psalm 15:1-2

If some corporate position is the god of your life, then something terrible occurs within when it is no longer a future possibility. If your career, however, is simply a part of God's plan and you keep it in proper perspective, you can handle a demotion just as well as you can handle a promotion. It all depends on who's first and what's first.
