Air Canada says it will begin a gradual suspension of flights to allow an orderly shutdown as it faces a potential work stoppage by its flight attendants on Saturday.

The airline says the first flights will be cancelled Thursday, with more on Friday and a complete cessation of flying by Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge by the weekend.

Air Canada Express flights operated by Jazz and PAL Airlines will continue to operate as normal. 

Air Canada says customers whose flights are cancelled will be notified and they will be eligible for a full refund.

An interactive art installation is helping families across the city heal from grief.

Inspired by Itaru Sasaki's 2010 Kaze no Denwa (“Telephone of the Wind”), this art installation offers a judgment-free place to grieve.

"This space was born out of my grief and created as a place to pause, to remember, and to connect in whatever way your heart calls you to," said Gillian Crawford in a post on Facebook. "Whether you speak to someone you’ve lost, write down words left unsaid, or sit quietly in reflection, your presence becomes part of the piece.

A pair of NFL teams came to a complete standstill recently after a player from one of the teams suffered a serious injury. 

This past Friday, the Detroit Lions and Atlanta Falcons were playing a preseason game when Detroit cornerback Morice Norris, 24, suffered a head injury.

The hit caused Norris to seize and lie motionless for almost 20 minutes. 

Instead of continuing the game, the teams let the clock run out as they gathered in a circle and prayed around the player.

National galleries and museums across the country have seen a 15 per cent increase in attendance so far this summer, after the federal government introduced free or discounted admission through the new Canada Strong Pass.

The Canada Strong Pass, which took effect on June 20 and is available until Sept. 2, offers free national museum admission to children 17 and under, and a 50 per cent discount for those aged 18 to 24.

The pass also offers free admission to national parks and sites maintained by Parks Canada.

The head of the Canada's police chiefs association says they are guided by "outdated and inadequate" laws that were never designed to take on the current criminal landscape that no longer respects international borders. 

Thomas Carrique, president of the Association of Chiefs of Police, said police would have been in a better place to "disrupt" transnational crime, if the federal government had listened to his group in 2001, when it last proposed legislative changes. 

Images from space and artificial intelligence can help detect areas prone to extreme wildfires, researchers suggest, after satellite photos showed dry parts of Manitoba ahead of its devastating wildfire season.

Scientists from the University of Ottawa and Université Laval in Quebec used data collected by NASA, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Drought Monitor to review areas hit by fast-moving blazes in late spring.

“We have an 80 per cent success rate with our students earning jobs in the trade and moving forward in their occupation.” 

Winnipeg Industrial Skills Training Centre is a nonprofit welding and metal fabrication learning centre. As of October 2025, the organization will have been active for 43 years, providing trade training to Manitobans who are either underemployed, part of an unstable occupation, doing seasonal work, or experiencing chronic layoffs.  

For the first time this season, a fan has made the half-court shot at the Winnipeg Sea Bears game and she is giving all glory to God.

Carman native, Sydney Last has been playing basketball since Grade seven and is a guard on the Providence Pilots women's basketball team. On August 8, she had the opportunity to make the challenging shot.

"It was a pretty crazy moment," Last said. "My goal was really to just make it close. I make half courts often when I shoot them, like they're not impossible, but in front of such a big crowd and with two shots only."

Ephesians 2:10

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Let me make three practical suggestions to you who are parents:

First, determine your priorities. Ask yourself how high the family rates on your list of involvement. How are your children in particular—just how serious are you regarding time with each? Have you told them or your mate? . . .
