Unity and Humility

Psalm 133:1

Do you realize how closely unity and humility are tied together? One breeds the other; neither can exist without the other. They're like Siamese twins, perpetually connected.

Personally, I have seen numerous occasions when pride won out (even though it was never called that) and harmony faded away...and I mean fast...

Contrary to the stuff you might read today, the words, fight and quarrel, are not apt descriptions of the way to get ahead. They won't ultimately glorify God.

The art piece was inspired by things the students learned after trips to Tom Chester Park, Assiniboine Forest, Oak Hammock Marsh and Brokenhead Wetland.

Fixing problems with Phoenix payroll system cost taxpayers $5.1 billion: official

A top federal official said fixing the payroll problems caused by Phoenix cost taxpayers more than $5 billion — and they'll keep paying extra to run two public service payroll platforms at once as Ottawa weans itself off the problem-plagued system.

Alex Benay, associate deputy minister at Public Services and Procurement Canada, said the alternative to running the Phoenix system in tandem with its replacement, Dayforce, would have been worse.

"The unfortunate situation is there's no easy path," he said. "This is the one that's going to impact employees the least."

Pedestrians to return to Portage and Main after 46 years this Friday

The iconic Portage & Main intersection in downtown Winnipeg is set to open up to pedestrians on Friday. 

The busy roadway has been closed to pedestrians since 1979.

In March 2024, Mayor Scott Gillingham recommended the intersection be reopened, as the costs to repair the Portage and Main underground began to soar. 

Construction to take down the barricades at Portage and Main began in October 2024, with several lane closures throughout the following months.
