A man is facing a lengthy list of charges after going on a crime spree and ramming into a police cruiser. 

Between May 27 to 30, a 33-year-old male went on a crime spree that included stealing property from a residence, stealing a 2015 Jeep Wrangler from a residence and using a stolen credit card at a commercial business in the 100 block of St. Mary's Road. 

Police saw the stolen Jeep in a parking lot in the 1400 block of St. Matthews Avenue on May 31. The Jeep escaped capture after ramming a police cruiser and fleeing at a high rate of speed. 

A single vehicle collision on Saturday evening claimed the life of a 39-year-old Winnipeg male. 

On May 31, 2025, at approximately 5 p.m., Selkirk and Oakbank RCMP attended to a single-vehicle collision on Highway 59 at Birds Hill Road in the Rural Municipality of East St Paul in Manitoba.

A vehicle was observed on Highway 59 driving erratically and lost control at the turn at the intersection. The vehicle jumped the median before hitting a light standard. Both individuals were extracted from the vehicle. 

Over 100 young adults gathered at The Meeting Place this past Sunday for the Open Space Gen Z Rally, a night of worship, intercession, and fellowship.

MBL Worship, the worship team from EveryHeart Missions in Grand Rapids, Michigan, was present and led worship alongside the OpenSpace team. 

Volunteer greeters welcomed people into the building as the door opened, and people headed to a space for a time of fellowship. Afterwards, people went into the main sanctuary for worship and prayer.

A Winnipeg intersection will look different than normal on Monday afternoon. 

The intersection at King Street and Bannatyne Avenue will be the first location to experience a scramble intersection. 

The point of the scramble signal is to stop motor vehicles in all directions, once a cycle while allowing pedestrians to cross every direction. 

The Scramble signal is a pilot project being tested to see if it is suitable for streets in Winnipeg. 

The City hopes that by having a dedicated crossing phase for pedestrians will improve safety and efficiency. 

Five people are recovering after multiple people were stabbed early Monday morning. 

The incident happened around 4 a.m. in the 500 block of Mountain Avenue. 

Winnipeg police say when they arrived at the scene, they found five adults suffering from stab wounds. Three were transported to hospital in critical condition, the other two in stable condition. They have all since been upgraded to stable condition. 

It's believed the incident is isolated and involved a group of people who were fighting. They say there is no risk to public safety.

Thick wildfire smoke drifting down from northern Manitoba has prompted Environment Canada to issue an air quality warning for much of the province.

The earlier special air quality statement was upgraded as out-of-control wildfires continue to burn in the north, pushing thick smoke into southern Manitoba and as far away as the American border states.

 Environment Canada says smoke is causing very poor air quality and reduced visibility. 

The smoke is expected to clear throughout the morning as some much-needed rain falls across the province. 

Christian singer-songwriter Terrian is sharing her testimony in a new film.

The former member of TobyMac's Diverse City sat down with the global storytelling ministry, I Am Second, to share her story. 

Music was something that Terrian knew would always be a part of her life. She grew up a pastor's kid surrounded by praise and worship music in church and her home. 

By the time she was five years old, she already knew her career would involve music. However, it wasn't until later in her life that she would develop a deeper relationship with God.
