Winnipeg Jets fans had a lot to be thankful for on Thanksgiving Monday with an announcement that caught many by surprise.

The Winnipeg Jet Hockey Club announced on Monday that they have agreed to terms with both forward Mark Scheifele and goaltender Connor Hellebuyck on identical seven-year contract extensions with an average annual value of $8,500,000. Both of their seven-year contract extensions will begin in the 2024-25 season.

Siloam Mission hosted their annual Thanksgiving meal, Fri. Oct. 6 serving up to 750 meals to those experiencing homelessness and poverty.

Dozens of volunteers worked together to serve a traditional Thanksgiving feast ahead of the holiday. The sit-down meal included turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, cranberry sauce, mixed veggies and pie.

Tessa Blaikie Whitecloud, CEO of Siloam Mission, said how important it was to put together.

Starting October 19, leaders from across Canada will have the opportunity to engage with topical instruction, executive coaching, and networking through a new offering from Homefield People & Strategy.
