The Winnipeg Police Service has located a missing 9-year-old boy.

He was last seen at 2 p.m. Saturday in the Jefferson area of Winnipeg. 

He was safely located early Saturday evening. 

Dozens of motorcyclists gathered on Saturday morning at Deacon's Corner in Springfield for the Guardians of the Children's 'Empower the Children' motorcycle ride.

Guardians of the Children is an advocacy organization that supports and protects children who have endured abuse. The organization has a motorcycle-focused outreach.

The group supports victims of child abuse by accompanying them to court and holding family-focused events to foster healing and healthy connections.

The resurfacing of a St. Vital street has lead to the temporary closure of a Winnipeg fire hall.

According to the United Firefighters of Winnipeg, Station 26, located at 1525 Dakota St., will be closed effective Aug. 16.

"Just days after a Southwalk Bay fire destroyed one home and damaged two others—where the closest available fire apparatus took nearly 2.5x longer than the national standard—St. Vital residents will now face continued response delays around the clock," said the UFFW in a post on Facebook.

Passengers around the world are feeling the effects after the union representing more than 10,000 flight attendants with Air Canada announced its members were walking off the job after it was unable to reach an eleventh hour deal with the airline.

A meeting between Canada Post and the union representing 55,000 postal workers has been delayed until next week due to the availability of federal mediators, the company says.

After more than a year and a half of negotiations, the two sides met with federal mediators earlier this week before agreeing to meet with each other.
