A Manitoba family wants the province's healthcare system to be honest with families about surgery delays—something they believe could have saved their mother’s life.

Daniel Fewster and his family are lobbying for the creation of "Debbie's Law" after his mother, Debbie, passed away in 2024 while waiting for life-saving heart surgery.

The family is advocating for greater transparency in Manitoba's healthcare system to ensure patients and families are informed if critical surgeries cannot be performed within recommended timelines.

Psalm 62:7

"My salvation and my honour depend on God;
    he is my mighty rock, my refuge."

Psalm 23:3–4

As a former shepherd keeping watch over flocks in the wilderness, the composer of Psalm 23 understood the nature of sheep, including their bad habit of wandering. When one is attracted to a clump of grass away from the flock, off it goes, and sometimes it's followed by several other woolly wanderers. Soon, night falls. Lurking in the darkness are hungry wolves, four-legged savages, looking for a supper of mutton! The shepherd counts his sheep, calling them by name.

The national chief of the Assembly of First Nations says the fourth victim of a Winnipeg serial killer has been identified as Ashlee Shingoose.

Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak says she has spoken with the woman's parents and offered her condolences.

"My heart goes out to all the families of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls," she said.

Police are scheduled to confirm the identity of the victim, who was given the name Buffalo Woman, at a news conference Wednesday afternoon.

Winnipeg-based Gospel artist Bunmi Praise is set to release her latest single, Break Forth, a deeply personal song inspired by her struggles in early 2023.

Bunmi Praise shares that "Breakforth" was written during one of the most challenging seasons of her life, marked by job loss and emotional turmoil. Drawing strength from her faith, she found comfort in biblical passages such as Psalms 23 and Isaiah 58:8, which reassured her of God’s presence through difficult times.

Motorists who use the Louise Bridge will need to find another route later this week.

The busy North End bridge will be closed in both directions for a portion of the day on Friday.

Crews will close the bridge at 9 a.m. to do bearing repairs. It will reopen at 3:30 p.m. 

The bridge will remain open for the morning and afternoon rush periods, and pedestrians will still have access to the west sidewalk.

Commuters are encouraged to use either the Provencher Bridge or the Disraeli Bridge to cross the river during the closure.

for KING + COUNTRY's Joel Smallbone is running for the songwriter/composer seat on the Recording Academy of Nashville Board.

Smallbone says it would be a dream come true and a way to give back.
