Have your say: Winnipeg Police Board seeks public input on future of policing
The Winnipeg Police Board wants to hear from you.
They are looking for feedback from the community on how Winnipeggers would like to see policing delivered in our city.
The findings will help establish a strategic plan for the WPS from 2026 to 2030.
Anyone who works, lives, or visits the City of Winnipeg is encouraged to share their visions on what they'd like to see done differently or changes they feel would improve Winnipeg's policing.
A couple of community consultation sessions have been planned to allow Winnipeggers to speak their minds.

Inner City Women's Ministry International has been watching God move in women's prisons for over 20 years, and they're inviting people to join in the ministry in Manitoba.
"It started with five inner city women meeting, and either you were working in the inner city or you lived in the inner city and we discussed the needs of women," says Shon McLaren, the cofounder of Inner City Women's Ministries International (ICWMI). "One of the needs was that we needed someone to go into the prisons and encourage the women that are there."

Manitoba Opposition Tories agree to speed passage of free trade bill before summer
Manitoba politicians reached a deal to speed passage of a free trade bill Monday, hours before the legislature was to break for the summer. More than 30 other bills were also set to be approved on the last day of the spring sitting.
The trade bill, based on a deal with Ontario, would remove trade and labour barriers for some goods and services between Manitoba and other jurisdictions that pass similar laws. Other provinces have recently joined the effort, as part of a national plan to boost the economy and respond to tariffs imposed by the United States.

Heavenly hindsight
Psalm 32:7
Providence. We toss the word around. But have you ever analyzed it?
It comes from the Latin, providentia. Pro means "before" or "ahead of time"; videntia is from videre, meaning "to see."...Put them together and you have "seeing ahead of time," which is what Almighty God does. He sees the events of life ahead of time—something that we of course can never do.
We're great at history. Our hindsight is almost always 20/20. But we're lousy at prophecy, that is, the specifics of the future.
