Winnipeg police are asking witnesses to come forward after a pedestrian was struck and killed Saturday night.

The collision happened around 10:30 p.m. on May 3 near the intersection of McPhillips Street and Notre Dame Avenue.

The Winnipeg Police Service says the Traffic Division is continuing to investigate and is looking for anyone with information, including security camera footage from the area or dash camera footage.

At this time, police have not released further details about the vehicle involved.

Winnipeg fire crews were kept busy Sunday battling two separate grass fires, just minutes apart. 

The first fire broke out just after 8 a.m. in the 300 block of McPhillips Street. Firefighters used specialized equipment, including the WFPS Bison, to put out the fire. It took firefighters about 45 minutes to get the blaze under control. 

May 5 marks Red Dress Day, the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People.

The day serves as a way to remind people about the ongoing crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people across the country.

To help commemorate the day, the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs and the First Nation Family Advocate's office have planned a memorial walk and ceremony. 

The Tim Tebow Foundation has partnered with the National Child Protection Task Force (NCPTF) to help find and protect missing and runaway children around New York.

"So grateful that 71 missing and endangered children have been identified and are safe!" says Tim Tebow on Instagram. "So often when children run away, they don’t know the danger they’re running into — trafficking, exploitation, drugs, violence, criminalization."

The two organizations paired up to find children who had been reported missing, and were quite successful. 

Winnipeg police are asking for the public's assistance in solving the city's latest homicide.

The victim, who has been identified as 43-year-old Kerry Eastman, was transported to hospital in critical condition, where he later died of his injuries.

Prime Minister Mark Carney will be watched closely by Canadians infuriated by Donald Trump — and by an anxious business community looking for tariff relief — when he meets with the U.S. president Tuesday in Washington.

After months of Trump's annexation threats, the newly elected prime minister will be tasked with a delicate balancing act — showing strength while maintaining Canada's place in a critical North American trade pact the president's tariffs have sought to upend.

Philippians 4:6-7

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
