Manitobans are staying true to the slogan on our license plates, 'Friendly Manitoba', with people across the province stepping up as wildfires continue to burn out of control in northern Manitoba, leading to the evacuation of thousands of people.

This week, the Kildonan MCC Thrift Shop was able to help out by donating some much-needed items to evacuation centres in Winnipeg. 

Winnipeg police are asking for the public's assistance in identifying a man who committed indecent acts on two women. 

These incidents took place in Winnipeg between March and April 2025 in public places. 

The suspect was captured on CCTV, and the WPS is now asking for Winnipeggers' help in identifying the man.

He is described as being in his 20s, with slight facial hair and collar-length dark hair. He was seen wearing two different ball caps, one with a spider on it and the other with a red S.

The Manitoba government has launched a new campaign with hopes of increasing staffing at hospitals across the province.

The goal is to lure health-care workers, specifically nurses and physicians, from the United States. 

The campaign was launched in Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota, with emphasis on Manitoba's inclusive health-care environment, the benefits that come from working in a public system and the opportunity to live in an affordable province with vibrant communities.

Winnipeg is currently under an air quality warning as the winds have shifted and are pushing the smoke from wildfires over southern Manitoba. 

"The air quality health index is 10 or higher in most of the region," says Dave Carlsen, a meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada (EC). "This is the forest fire smoke coming from northern Manitoba and northern Saskatchewan."

With the threat of wildfire growing closer to Snow Lake, Manitoba, residents are being encouraged to prepare to evacuate.

A 48-hour evacuation alert was issued on Tuesday morning, with the evacuation being voluntary at this time.

Residents who choose to leave can take pull-behind equipment, such as trailers, boats and campers. However, if a 24-hour evacuation alert is issued, this will no longer be permitted.
