A 20-year-old Winnipeg man is facing animal cruelty charges after mistreating dogs in his care.

Winnipeg police say they were called to the 300 block of Edmonton Street Friday afternoon after the man was spotted violently pulling on one of the dog's leashes as he walked them in the Central Park area.

The man was located leaving a nearby apartment complex and, after being uncooperative, was taken into custody.

The officers found the man's suite and located two dogs inside.

The dogs were seized by officers and turned over to Animal Services.

The Winnipeg Police Service is asking for the public’s assistance in locating a missing 23-year-old man.

Manchalpreet Sekhon was last seen on March 29 near Linacre Road and Cornell Drive in Fort Richmond.

Winnipeg police say Sekhon is known to frequent St. Vital Park, Birds Hill Park and the areas surrounding the Floodway south of Winnipeg.

He is described as 5’10” tall with a medium build, short black hair, short beard and brown eyes.

One person is in hospital after a fire in Tyndall Park late Friday afternoon. 

The fire broke out in a home on Kinver Avenue just before 5 p.m. on Friday. 

Due to the intensity of the fire, crews were forced to launch a defensive attack. Once it was safe enough, firefighters entered the home and fought the fire from inside.

Crews also located and rescued a person from inside the home. They were transported to hospital in unstable condition.

The fire was declared under control shortly after 8 p.m.

After 6 years, Big Daddy Weave to release new album

Big Daddy Weave's new album and project, Let It Begin, will be released later this spring. 

The Christian band last released their album, When The Light Comes, in 2019. After this, one of their beloved band members, Jay Weaver, passed away unexpectedly. Weaver, the brother of lead singer Mike Weaver, was only 42 years old when he died, leaving behind his wife and their three children. 

2 Corinthians 5:14-15

"For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again."

Psalm 27:1–3

As David faced his fears and expressed them to God in Psalm 27, he began with worship, celebrating the power and faithfulness of his God.

Declaration of Praise

The key to the entire song is verse 1. It consists of two similar sentences, each ending with a rhetorical question.

Recruiters say there's been a surge of interest from American doctors considering moving to Canada since the election of U.S. President Donald Trump in November. 

Katrina Philopoulos, physician recruitment director for Nova Scotia Health, says 27 American doctors are in serious negotiations to move, talks that have so far resulted in one person being hired and a second who is expected to move to the province next year.

Going through the wringer is what led to a new song from a Canadian artist, Matt LeFait released "The God Who Sees Me." 

"Last year, my wife and whole family went through the wringer. There were seasons of loss and uncertainty. I literally wrote this song in that season, like right in the middle of it, the song's written from Genesis 16 about Hagar, Abraham, and Sarai."

The economy shed 33,000 jobs in March, the biggest loss since January 2022, while the unemployment rate ticked higher, Statistics Canada said Friday.

The agency said the unemployment rate for March rose to 6.7 per cent compared with 6.6 per cent in February.

The hit came amid increased uncertainty caused by U.S. tariffs that have threatened economic growth.

The job losses reversed some of the gains made at the end of last year and into January.
