Police have confirmed there was no gun involved after a gun call in the Charleswood neighbourhood on Friday afternoon. 

At approximately 6:30 p.m. on June 20, West District General Patrol officers, with the assistance of the Tactical Support Team and Drone Unit, responded to the call at a community centre in the 500 block of Dale Boulevard.

Witnesses in the area originally flagged down police after what initially started as a group fight outside the community centre, before moving outside a residence on Brownell Bay.

The Manitoba arts community is mourning the loss of one of its most influential leaders. Rita Menzies, a longtime arts administrator whose work helped shape the province’s classical music scene for more than four decades, passed away on Thursday.

Residents of the Elmwood-East Kildonan Ward will head to the polls this fall to vote on a new city councillor.

The seat was left vacant after Jason Schreyer, who had held the seat since 2014, died suddenly.

Eligible voters will have the opportunity to cast a ballot for a candidate on Oct. 25, 2025.
