A Manitoba mother says her son's deadly addiction was unexpected and is warning others in hopes of preventing more deaths.

Liz (Friesen) Ledarney of Beausejour, Man.,  says her son David was 28-years-old when he headed off to work in the oil fields in Alberta. It was two years later he had a confession to make.  

Providence University College and Theological Seminary is soaring to new heights with its expanded aviation program this fall.

When he was only 19 years old, Steven Curtis Chapman decided to follow George Jones.

Not follow, but impersonate. And there was no better place to mimic the country legend’s voice and mannerisms than as part of Chapman’s job at Opryland USA. He did it so well that it brought an invite for the youngster to perform across the parking lot at the Grand Ole Opry.

Read Ephesians 5:1

"Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children" (Ephesians 5:1 NIV). Maybe you never realized such a statement was in the Bible. What a strange command: "Be imitators of God"!

Families from across the province came together for a big festival for a low cost of $0 on September 1. 

Fun with Family kicked off with a Sunday morning service at 10 a.m. with several people gathered for a time of praise and worship and a short message. 

All afternoon, there was music from local and new talent such as Preston Tanghe, LMNK, Ryan Anzo, $2 Bill and His Bad Pennies, the Szakacs Family, and Danielle Savard.

There were tons of activities for the whole family including a petting zoo, face painting, bouncy castles, food trucks, and the thrill zone.

The Winnipeg Goldeyes (55-41) inched closer to their first division title in seven years with a 12-4 victory over the Lincoln Saltdogs Friday evening at Blue Cross Park.
