A new piece, never-before heard in western Canada, will be the cornerstone of a concert in River Heights this week addressing the realities and anxieties of climate change. 

A U.S. border patrol intelligence agent recalled Tuesday feeling horrified when he realized a group of migrants from India, including a young child, were out in a freezing blizzard on a stretch of open prairie at the border between Manitoba and Minnesota.

"My heart sank ... because there's more people out there," Daniel Huguley testified at the trial of two accused human smugglers. 

Some adult migrants had already been picked up after trying to walk undetected across the border on Jan. 19, 2022. One of them had a backpack, and Huguley said he looked inside.

Several schools are closed Wednesday morning after a low-pressure system brought significant winter weather to western Manitoba.

This has led to treacherous driving conditions on highways in the area, and ultimately the closure of schools. 

The system is weakening and conditions are expected to improve by this afternoon.

Brandon Lake released his new single "Hard-Fought Halleujah" last week and it's hitting the No. 1 spot on multiple music charts. 

The new worship-filled rock anthem was released on Nov. 8. Since that time it's been downloaded 6.83 million times across streaming sites. 

"Hard-Fought Hallelujah" was the largest debut streaming week for a single released by a Christian genre artist. This beat out his previous sincle, "That's Who I Praise."

Worship leader and songwriter Paul Baloche is celebrating the reason for the season in his upcoming Christmas Worship Tour across Canada. 

The tour starts in Winnipeg on Dec. 2 at Grant Memorial Church in Winnipeg. 

Western Manitoba received most of the snowfall from the recent low-pressure system with Winnipeg receiving only a dusting of snow. 

"With this storm, western Manitoba was set up to get the worst of it," says Shannon Moodie, a meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada. "Heavy snowfall, really gusty winds, blowing snow, and a lot of travel not recommended. For the Red River Valley we stayed more in the warmer air."

Psalm 95:1-2

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
    let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before him with thanksgiving
    and extol him with music and song.

Matthew 5:13-16

Ours is a hell-bound, degenerate world, and you know it. Political corruption abounds. International peace, a splendid ideal, continues to blow up in our faces. The crime rate escalates as domestic violence and gang wars and drug traffic and overcrowded jails continue to plague society. Pending legal cases choke the courts of our land with an endless litany of litigation. And even when cases are finally brought to trial, no courtroom or prison cell can remove madness from minds or hatred from hearts.

The Winnipeg Jets broke a two-game losing streak in style tonight, delivering a 6-3 victory over the Florida Panthers at a sold-out Canada Life Centre.

The win comes on the heels of a 5-0 defeat to the Panthers on Nov. 16 and a loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning earlier. It also ensure the Jets stay atop the entire NHL with 32 points at a record of 16-3.
