Five Manitoban's were invited to camp including defenders Jocelyne Larocque of Ste. Anne and Ashton Bell of Deloraine along with goaltenders Raygan Kirk of Ste. Anne, Kristen Campbell of Brandon and Elm Creek's Corinne Schroeder.

Several rounds of severe thunderstorms have left parts of the Pembina and Red River Valleys drenched Tuesday morning. Not one, not two, but three waves of severe thunderstorms rolled through the region, with Warnings issued for the Morden, Winkler and Altona areas three times between late afternoon Monday and early this morning.

With Fall here, and the winter months not far behind, the Pembina Valley Water Co-op is looking back on Summer as a good season, with the utility able to keep up with demands.

The red ribbon was cut at Charlie's Coffee Co in the RM of Stanley in the Terra Point building on Hwy 3 on the Northside of the highway on the way to Morden.  

Owner Chris Unrau described the inspiration behind the opening a coffee shop. 

The Eden Foundation’s annual Head for the Hills cycling event took place this past weekend, raising awareness and support for mental health initiatives. Despite facing some weather challenges, the event proved to be a success, raising approximately $104,000.

Manitoba's governing New Democrats ousted backbencher and defence lawyer Mark Wasyliw from caucus Monday, and Wasyliw fired back by accusing Premier Wab Kinew of being a micromanaging, toxic bully.

The NDP said it removed Wasyliw because a partner at his law firm is representing convicted sex offender and disgraced fashion mogul Peter Nygard.

Members of Parliament will hold an emergency debate in the House of Commons Monday evening on a string of recent deaths of First Nations people during interactions with Canadian police forces.

Six First Nations people have died in the last two weeks at the hands of police officers, which NDP MP Lori Idlout characterizes as a "disturbing pattern."

She wrote a letter to House Speaker Greg Fergus calling for the emergency debate, lambasting what she called a lack of media coverage of the deaths and inaction by the government to pass legislation on First Nations policing.
