A 26-year-old from Winnipeg has been charged after over 200 grams of cocaine was found in his vehicle in Wanless.

At approximately 1:30 p.m. on August 20, the Pas RCMP received a report of suspicious activity in Wanless. A vehicle was observed in the community, going from place to place, that did not appear familiar.

The vehicle was seen leaving a local business and officers initiated a traffic stop on Highway 10 N, just outside the community.

The staff at Trailblazers Life Choices in Steinbach were the excited recipients of August's Danny's Whole Hog BBQ Lunch Break from CHVN on Thursday.

Trailblazers Life Choices is an organization that has been assisting adults with disabilities for two decades.

Roughly 300 people showed up for the Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation’s (CPFF) Winnipeg walk on Saturday, Aug. 23, 2025.

Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc said he left Washington Wednesday with a sense that progress was made after a meeting with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.

Manitoba's ethics commissioner has cleared Premier Wab Kinew of any wrongdoing after he accepted and paid for private travel with Winnipeg's professional football team to go to two Grey Cup games.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre on Wednesday accused the federal Liberals of allowing temporary foreign workers to take jobs away from young Canadians while youth unemployment is high.

"As our young people have a quarter-century high in their unemployment, Mark Carney this year is expected to bring in a record number of temporary foreign workers to take the jobs of Canadian youth," Poilievre said. 

Statistics Canada data shows unemployment for youth, aged 15 to 24, hit 14.6 per cent in July. This is the highest it's been since 2010, outside of the COVID-19 pandemic.
