Steinbach

Welcome back to another Made in Manitoba, and this weekend it's another debut as we welcome Winnipeg's Rachel Colman as she shares her first full-length album "Make A Way".

Manitoba has confirmed its first case of clade Ib mpox, also known as monkeypox, marking the first time this particular strain has been found in Canada. The province reports the case is related to travel and is linked to an ongoing outbreak in central and eastern Africa. 

The Winnipeg Police Service is asking motorists to avoid the East Perimeter Highway and Highway 1 "at all costs" on Friday afternoon.

A witness says a semi-trailer crashed through a guardrail on the East Perimeter overpass and landed ontop of a passing train below. A CN train derailed as a result.

In a video posted online Cst. Stephen Spencer of the WPS called it a "major train derailment."

The East Perimeter is closed in all directions at Highway 1.

STARS Air Ambulance was dispatched, but there is no word yet on injuries.

Pat King, one of the most prominent figures of the 2022 "Freedom Convoy" in Ottawa, has been found guilty on five counts including mischief and disobeying a court order.

A jury deliberated for about an hour Friday before convicting two men on human smuggling charges in a case where a family from India froze to death in Manitoba while trying to walk across the Canada-U.S. border.

Steve Shand of Florida and Harshkumar Patel, an Indian national arrested in Chicago, were each found guilty on all four counts they faced related to bringing unauthorized people into the U.S., transporting them and profiting from it.

A man from Steinbach is in police custody following a domestic assault in the city Thursday evening.

At 8:42 pm, Steinbach RCMP received a report of a man yielding a knife and assaulting a woman in a residence in Steinbach. The suspect was known to police due to previous incidents as well as outstanding arrest warrants.

Police attended the residence but were told the suspect had fled.

Jason Benoit will join us with his brand new single "I Wanna Hear That Song".  We’ll also have a special appearance from American recording artist John Morgan, who will debut his single, "Friends Like That"  featuring Jason Aldean. Plus, we’ll look back at this week in 2018 with a #1 hit from Tebey.

The Millerettes are a local dual-roster team made up of girls from Steinbach and the surrounding area. 

All of the girls play on a regular co-ed team, and have the option to also play on a girls team. 

Ryan Canada, one of the Millerettes coaches, says there are five dual-roster teams in the southeast, plus the girls-only teams that play in a league. 

“So the dual-roster teams aren't in a league per se, but we do play against all the other dual-roster teams in our area.” 

The dramatic shift in weather this week has local tire shops booked up, swapping vehicles over to winter tires. 

Chris Dyck from Kal Tire in Steinbach says they are as busy as they can possibly be right now. He notes generally speaking, it is a good idea to get winter tires on when the temperature is consistently below 7 degrees. 

The Chief for the Hanover Fire Department says there were no physical injuries in a crash involving a school bus Thursday morning.

Paul Wiebe says they were called out shortly after 10 am to Centre Street in Mitchell following a crash between a passenger vehicle and school bus.

According to Hanover School Division, there were no children on the bus at the time of the crash. 

Also on Thursday, Wiebe says they were called to a two-vehicle crash along Provincial Road 216, at Road 31 North, south of Kleefeld. It happened shortly after 5 pm.
