The province is investing over $260,000 into supporting young Manitobans and making Winnipeg communities safer. 

The funds will be divided among three Winnipeg organizations in different areas of the city, and will be used to purchase equipment and organize community events. 

Oxford House RCMP are investigating after a new band office in Bunibonibee Cree Nation went up in flames early Sunday morning. 

Officers were called to the building just after 5 a.m. on Sunday, where they found smoke coming from the building. 

Within minutes, the building was completely engulfed in flames. It has been deemed a complete loss. 

No injuries were reported. 

A preliminary investigation has determined the fire was caused by arson. 

Hundreds of young adults are expected to make their way to Calvary Temple this weekend to participate in the third annual Collide Conference. 

Collide Conference is a multi-church conference that helps provide a space for young adults to pursue God and be led to find truth, identity, and purpose in Him.

The conference will feature worship, breakout sessions, speakers and crash courses, including one called Faith & Athletics - Following Jesus in Professional Sports Q&A.

Christian artist Jeremy Camp recently went viral with a video he posted where he and his two daughters sang and harmonized to "Again."

"Thank you all for the encouragement on this song and the reel I posted with my daughters," said Camp on Instagram. "As promised, we are in the studio recording that acoustic version with them!"

The video, filmed in their home initially, has been viewed over 55,000 times on Instagram alone. 

Who decides when teaching and encouraging become “too extreme?”

In recent years, Central Asia has seen a wave of new laws and regulations related to extremism. While the idea of protecting national security sounds reasonable, the concept is often vague and flexible. Almost anything can be considered a threat — if someone in authority decides it is.

David Durance from TeachBeyond explains:

The Winnipeg Goldeyes dropped the first game of their 2025 spring schedule Wednesday evening, a 6-4 loss to the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks at Newman Outdoor Field.

On a cool evening on the North Dakota/Minnesota border, the RedHawks opened the scoring with a solo home run off the bat of Dillon Thomas to give Fargo-Moorhead a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning off Goldeyes starter Landon Leach.

Communal grief following the ramming attack at a Filipino festival in Vancouver that killed 11 people on the weekend will likely persist for months, mental health experts in British Columbia warn. 

"Traumatic events, grief, is not something that is resolved in a week or two weeks, or a couple of months," said Heather Mohan, a clinical counsellor and executive director of the charity Lumara Grief and Bereavement Care Society.

Some Conservative MPs are expressing support for party leader Pierre Poilievre after he lost both the federal election and his own seat on Monday.

In his concession speech early Tuesday morning, Poilievre indicated he would stay on as leader. The Conservative party did not respond when asked Wednesday whether he has officially decided to stay.

"My view is he's not going anywhere," said Kory Teneycke, Ontario Premier Doug Ford's former campaign manager and a former director of communications for former prime minister Stephen Harper.

Wally Daudrich, who was recently defeated in the race to lead Manitoba's Opposition Progressive Conservatives, says he remains a "loyal" member of the party and still plans on seeking the Tory nomination to run in a byelection.

The hotel owner and longtime party board member says he hopes to run uncontested in the Spruce Woods constituency.

"I've been vetted (by) the party. I have gone through all those hoops … and I believe I'm ready to run as a candidate," Daudrich said in an interview Wednesday. 

Hebrews 11:6

"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."
