‘Heartbreaking’: Flight school mourns students killed in mid-air collision
Two student pilots died Tuesday morning after their single-engine planes collided mid-air during practice exercises, the head of a pilot training school said.
The students, who were not identified, were practising takeoffs and landings when they appear to have tried to land at the same time on the small rural runway south of Steinbach, said Adam Penner, president of Harv's Air.
The collision left the planes wrecked in a field on private property, roughly 400 metres from the runway.
Wildfire risk remains high across Manitoba as evacuations continue
The Manitoba Wildfire Service says most of the province remains under high to very high wildfire danger, particularly in the north, where the threat of fire spread is most severe.
As of July 9, there are 83 active wildfires burning across Manitoba, well above the seasonal average of 191 fires to date, with 237 reported so far this year.
Evacuees in need of assistance are now being directed to the Leila Soccer Complex at 770 Leila Avenue in Winnipeg, which is serving as the province’s primary evacuation reception centre.
Ottawa set to miss 2026 deadline for establishing $10-a-day child care: report
Ottawa is expected to miss its 2026 deadline to implement $10-a-day child care services across the country, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives said in a new report published on Wednesday.
The analysis concluded that just six provinces and territories are meeting that fee target now.
David Macdonald, an economist with the centre, said even though fees have dropped significantly everywhere, the federal government is unlikely to meet its self-imposed deadline.

God Is There, Every Hour
Isaiah 41:10
Back in World War II a scribble of comic graffiti began appearing on walls everywhere, proclaiming, "Kilroy was here!
"This declaration was found on walls in Germany. It was found on buildings in Tokyo. It was found on big boulders in America. Kilroy was everywhere, it seemed.
God is not like Kilroy. He does not write His name on the walls and rocks of life, but He is there—every day, every hour, every tick of the clock!
Two dead in mid-air collision were students at Steinbach flight school
Two people are dead after two single-engine planes crashed in mid-air south of Steinbach, Man.
Adam Penner, president of Harv's Air pilot training school, says the two were students and were practising takeoffs and landings in small Cessna planes this morning.
He says the two appear to have tried to land at the same time and collided a few hundred metres away from the small runway.
He says the planes are equipped with radios, but it appears the two pilots didn't see each other.
