The Sioux Falls Canaries (20-16) evened their series with the Winnipeg Goldeyes (16-19) Wednesday evening, using a nine-run fourth inning and five total home runs to secure a 15-2 win at Blue Cross Park.
 
The Canaries opened the scoring in the first inning after a dropped fly ball in left field allowed Mike Hart to score. The Goldeyes answered immediately in the bottom half of the frame, as Tanner O’Tremba delivered a two-run double to left-centre, scoring Ramón Bramasco and Roby Enríquez to briefly put Winnipeg ahead 2-1.

A group of students from a Winnipeg high school will soon add a special touch to the downtown landscape.

Eight welding students from Technical Vocational High School spent two months designing and creating 40 bench boxes to be placed along Graham Avenue.

A bus shelter that once occupied space on Graham Avenue will be removed as the city switches to its new Primary Transit Network. This will leave more room for pedestrians to walk, sit, and rest. 

Originally from Cape Breton, Winnipegger Les Gillis is headed across Canada with his guitar and a message of hope for people experiencing homelessness. 

"My journey is going to start going east from Winnipeg, going all the way to Newfoundland," says Gillis. "Back, and then eventually continue on to the West Coast."

Gillis picked up the guitar when he was 17 years old and then spent years busking around the U.S.A., including in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Denver, and Chicago, to name a few. 

Manitoba Wildfire Service (MWS) is easing some fire and travel restrictions beginning Thursday morning.

According to our province, recent rainfall and a full green-up have helped reduce the fire risk in some parts of Manitoba. Other areas remain at high risk, with significant fire suppression operations continuing and restrictions still in place.

Effective Thursday at 8 am, areas 1 to 5 and areas 8 to 22 will be at Level 2 (area 1 includes everything from Provincial Road 302 to the Ontario border and south of the Trans Canada Highway). This means: 

The average Canadian family will save $280 on their taxes next year from the Liberal government's planned income tax cut, the parliamentary budget officer said in an analysis released on Wednesday.

But some seniors and single Canadians are expected to save less, prompting criticism from Conservatives who argue the tax cut doesn't go far enough.

Almost one in four Canadians were directly affected by extreme weather events over the past year, a new poll suggests.

The Leger poll — released as Canada copes with its second-worst wildfire season on record — says 23 per cent of Canadians who responded said they were personally affected by extreme weather events like heat waves, floods, fires and tornadoes over the last 12 months.

Proverbs 11:28

Our society has gorged itself on the sweet taste of success.

We've filled our plates from a buffet of books that range from dressing for success to investing for success....

We've gobbled down stacks of notebooks, albums, and videos in our hunger for greater success.

The irony of all this is that...instead of fulfilment, we experience the bloated sensation of being full of ourselves—our dreams,ourgoals, our plans,our projects,our accomplishments.

The result of this all-you-can-eat appetite is not contentment. It's nausea
