Here's a look at what's open and closed for Canada Day in 2025.

Two Winnipeggers will soon be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in November.

Three-time Stanley Cup winner, Duncan Keith, along with gold medal Olympian, Jennifer Botterill are two of the eight in the 2025 induction class. 

"Wow! Thank you for this incredible honour!" Botterill said on social media. "Thank you to the Hockey Hall of Fame and the HHOF selection committee. I am filled with gratitude! From the moment I received the call yesterday to the kind messages and warm congratulations that have followed, I’ve been truly overwhelmed by the love and support."

Manitoba's Strongest Man is moving up the ladder. 

After competing in the nationals and taking first place and then second place at Western Canada's Strongest Man, Andrew Langelaar has now punched his ticket to Canada's Strongest Man. 

"This will make me the sixth Manitoban to ever go. So, it's pretty cool," said Langelaar. "It was a two- or three-year timeline goal, not a rookie year timeline goal. So, a little bit overwhelming."

Langelaar says the goal has always been to compete at the highest level possible. 

The Manitoba government is moving forward with plans to redesign the busy intersection of the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 5 near Carberry, the site of a tragic 2023 minibus crash that killed 17 people. However, the preferred design option, a Reduced Conflict U-Turn (RCUT) intersection, has sparked significant controversy among local residents, truckers, farmers, and elected officials.

A 53-year-old man has been charged with five counts of robbery after robbing five convenience stores over four hours. 

Between 12:45 a.m. and 4:47 a.m. on Wednesday, the suspect drove to several convenience stores and demanded money from the cash registers while either armed with a knife or implying he had a weapon. 

In each incident, he left with an undisclosed amount of cash, and in one case, a cordless phone. 

The Winnipeg Police Service says that a missing 33-year-old man has been safely located.

The man was last seen on June 25, 2025, in St. Vital. 

Police had sent out a missing persons notice early on June 26 and then a second notice later in the morning, saying he'd been safely located.

The frontman of the band Tenth Avenue North, Mike Donehey, is sharing his thoughts on the Christian music scene since the controversy engulfing Michael Tait, former lead singer of the Newsboys, came out. 

"I want to say this about the state of the CCM industry," says Donehey on Instagram. "I've been in the CCM industry since 2007, when my band got signed, and I've seen a lot of good and some not-so-good."

Donahey has more recently released music as a solo artist; however, he is still in Tenth Avenue North.
