A Manitoba New Democrat has been removed from the government caucus and is firing back at Premier Wab Kinew.

The NDP has removed Mark Wasyliw — a lawyer — from caucus, saying his business partner is a defence lawyer for convicted sex offender Peter Nygard.

A new resource for farmers and researchers has been launched with the Root Rot Network covering advances in combatting diseases for crops in the prairies.

That includes both resources and research papers featured on rootrot.ca.

The Morden Activity Centre wants to invite you to its LUNGtivity program, which began on September 9 and continues to offer valuable support to local residents. The program, designed to improve lung health and breath control, is set to hold its next session today, September 16, with subsequent sessions continuing each Monday at 1:30 PM.

A two vehicle collision late Friday afternoon at the junction of Highway 23 and Provincial Road 244, led to a 31 year old woman being transported to hospital via STARS Air Ambulance.

The woman, who was the passenger in the SUV, sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
