Siloam Mission in Winnipeg was recently blessed with a huge shipment of socks, ensuring community members' greatest needs are met for a few months. 

"Recently we received 40,000 pairs of socks," says Kendall Giilk, the Principal Gift Specialist with Siloam Mission in Winnipeg. "That came about through truly divine timing through Sock Rocket and the Manitoba Nurses Union." 

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.

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 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.

Two active members of the Canadian Armed Forces are among four people arrested and charged on Tuesday for allegedly participating in an anti-government plot to forcibly take possession of land in the Quebec City area.

Three of the suspects, motivated by "violent extremism," planned to start a militia and "took concrete actions" to facilitate terrorist activity, the RCMP said. Two 24-year-olds and a 25-year-old allegedly took part in military-style training that included shooting, ambush, survival and navigation exercises, using a variety of firearms and high-capacity magazines. 

The Manitoba chapter of the Christian Motorcyclists Association is gearing up for a rally designed to share the love of Jesus with fellow motorcycle enthusiasts. 

"The Christian Motorcyclists Association (CMA) started in the U.S. and basically taking our love for Jesus and our love for motorcycles and meshing them together," says Gregg Klassen, the Chapter President of Victory Riders, a part of the Christian Motorcyclists Association (CMA). 

The group are guaranteed to meet once a month on the first Saturday to connect.

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 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.
