Taste of Manitoba Returns in 2025 with Food, Music and Family Fun

A Winnipeg parkade is set to play host to a powerful evening of worship and prayer this weekend.

Testimony Olumade is on the ANAN Experience team and says the ministry was formed after a December 2023 prayer walk. "As I was walking, I experienced a lot to stop me in my tracks. And in a quick vision, I saw Winnipeg and the crowd worshiping," Olumade said. "It was a lot of people worshiping and proclaiming the name of Jesus. Right there, I heard the Lord tell me, 'Yes, this is My vision for the city. The church will be united and the name of Jesus proclaimed in the city.'"

Kelley has had a traumatic past filled with drugs, addiction, abuse, and jail time. 

"This is the first time in my life that I’ve genuinely been at peace," says Kelley to PEOPLE Magazine in an exclusive interview.

This recent spike in gas prices in Manitoba — and across parts of Western Canada — is largely due to an unexpected shutdown at the British Petroleum (BP) Refinery in Whiting, Indiana.  

It is still summer, yet The Old Farmer's Almanac has just released its winter weather outlook.

Carol Connare is Editor of The Old Farmer's Almanac. She says on Tuesday, they released their 2026 edition, which, of course, includes forecasts for the upcoming seasons.

"For your region, we are calling for a warmer-than-normal winter," says Connare. "Of course, that doesn't mean that it will be balmy, because it's pretty cold there."

"Today is a very special day, that looking back has been a long time in the making," says Iskander on Instagram. "Today I joined the Catholic faith. I’ve felt a calling to this church for a long time, and as time went on, this calling became louder and louder."

Researchers say pediatricians, family doctors and parents need to learn more about what kind of performance-enhancing substances kids are using when they work out or play sports.

Seventeen per cent of more than 800 Canadian pediatric specialists surveyed say they saw adolescents who needed medical attention due to dietary supplements or performance drugs over the previous year.

The majority of cases were boys and more than half of them were between 13 and 15 years old.

Almost a third of the patients were even younger — between 10 and 12 years old.
