It was another wild game that went right down to the wire but the Steinbach Pistons managed to hold on and defeat the Dauphin Kings 5-4 in regulation on Friday night.

Coming off a few days between games, early in the first the Pistons looked a bit off. Passes were not crisp, the skating legs were not there and that allowed Dauphin to come up with a couple of good looks but each one was turned away.

A grand opening was held Friday to officially launch the Practical Nursing rural rotating site in Beausejour. 

According to Assiniboine College, this site aims to address the growing demand for skilled healthcare professionals in rural Manitoba by providing accessible training opportunities closer to home. 

Every young hockey player in Canada dreams of the day they get the call to the NHL, and for Denton Mateychuk, that dream came true just before Christmas.  

The defenseman from the small town of Dominion City, Manitoba, has now made his NHL debut with the Columbus Blue Jackets, turning years of dedication and perseverance into a reality on the biggest stage. 

The City of Steinbach held a public hearing to discuss the rezoning of two properties on First Street from residential low density (RLD) to residential medium density (RMD). The hearing saw no objections from the public, and City Council subsequently voted in favour of the second reading of the rezoning by-law. The properties in question, located at 79 and 85 First Street, will be consolidated to allow for the construction of a multi-unit residential building.

It's time for another Made in Manitoba, and we're welcoming back a long-time friend Winnipeg's Don Amero. He's joining us ahead of the release of his new EP "Broken Record: Part 1 - Heart", and with a title like that there seems to be a promise the music and lyrics will hit you right in the heart.

A local filmmaker will be showcasing his documentary at the Real to Reel Film Festival in Winnipeg this weekend. 

Alex Reimer and his wife, Miriam, set out on a journey across Europe to film and produce this compelling piece. 

“We loaded up ourselves into a tiny little camper van and we drove across the continent. It was kind of a once in a lifetime opportunity for us.”
