A Winnipeg man has been charged in connection with a serious collision last summer that left two people with severe injuries.

On July 5, 2024, at approximately 10:20 a.m., emergency crews responded to a multi-vehicle crash near Lagimodiere Boulevard and East Mint Place. A male victim was transported to hospital by the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service, while a female victim was airlifted by STARS Air Ambulance in critical condition. Both sustained life-altering injuries.

Environment and Climate Change Canada is keeping a close eye on an approaching Colorado low that could bring unpredictable weather to southern Manitoba this weekend.

While not as severe as spring storm systems can be, such as the April 2022 storm, this system is expected to produce a mix of precipitation, including snow, freezing rain, and possibly even lightning in some areas.

What to expect

Christy Climenhaga, a scientist with Environment Canada, says the system is expected to arrive late Friday and continue into Saturday.

Mark Carney will be sworn in as Canada's 24th prime minister at a ceremony at Rideau Hall Friday after the formal resignation of Justin Trudeau.

Carney, who was selected as Liberal leader Sunday in a landslide vote, has promised a "seamless" and "quick" transition.

No one was injured following a fire Thursday morning in Winnipeg's St. John's neighbourhood.

The fire broke out just before 7:30 a.m. in a three-storey apartment complex in the 200 block of College Avenue. 

The street was shut down while crews battled the fire, and Main Street traffic had their lanes reduced as fire trucks lined the busy roadway.

It took just over half an hour to get the fire contained.

No injuries were reported and the occupants of the complex were able to evacuate on their own before crews arrived.

Chis Pratt says it's thanks to God that his oldest son Jack is alive today. 

Pratt's ex-wife Anna Faris gave birth to Jack prematurely in 2012, and he came into the world weighing just 3 pounds, 10 ounces. It was this experience that brought Pratt closer to God.

"I really made some deals with God, as you do when you're praying, and I felt like if you save my son, I will give you everything, said Pratt in an interview on Fox & Friends.

Complexities in Syria have reached a new pitch after the events of last week.

There [are] suspicions that there was some act done even before that, which then this [attack on soldiers] was recompense for that previous act.”
