A 20-year-old Winnipeg man is dead after slipping off some rocks at the Pinawa Dam Provincial Park and drowning.

Lac du Bonnet RCMP say the man was seen climbing rocks near the top of a small waterfall at around 8 p.m. on Sunday when he slipped on some wet rocks and fell into the water.

Police and fire personnel searched the shoreline for the missing man, but were unsuccessful in locating him.

Karl and Tracey Bueckert of Arbhakka prayed for another child after their son Myles was born. Ten years later, in 2019, their prayers were answered with the birth of Elliott. 

Tracey called him “an answer to prayer.”

To help enhance patient care in rural Manitoba, Shared Health is expanding its Community Paramedic Program to Brandon and Selkirk.

Through this program, patients in these rural communities will be provided with the care they need, without having to leave their community.

The Community Paramedic Program allows for the early identification of care concerns and links patients to the care they need through treatment plans.

During the warm days of summer, nothing beats sitting out on the boat or on the shore, spending time with family and friends (or alone) and hopefully catching some fish.

Fishing provides a great opportunity for family & friends to spend some time together and, so long as you don't get carried away in the tackle store, can be an affordable activity.

With two large rivers, smaller streams, and lakes all around, Winnipeg provides plenty of opportunity for some angling fun. 

Be prepared! The National Public Alerting System has planned an emergency alert test for Wednesday afternoon.

The alert will be broadcast on all communication channels, including television, radio and compatible wireless devices.

The province says testing all components is an important and necessary part of any public alerting system. They say it provides an opportunity to validate and improve the end-to-end performance and reliability of the system to ensure it operates as intended on TV, radio and compatible wireless devices.

The province of Manitoba is making Holocaust education mandatory in secondary schools.

As the change in season reels in the heat, it's hooking anglers along with it.

"(It's) being out on the water, just the peace and quiet of it. I mean catching fish is great, it's fantastic. But at the end of the day it's, and I think it's for a lot of fishermen, the quietness of being on the water," says Trevor Fehr of Fehr's Sporting Goods in Steinbach.

He says while there's plenty of fish that can be caught through the year, the seasons for others still need to open.
