A Winnipeg intersection will look different than normal on Monday afternoon. 

The intersection at King Street and Bannatyne Avenue will be the first location to experience a scramble intersection. 

The point of the scramble signal is to stop motor vehicles in all directions, once a cycle while allowing pedestrians to cross every direction. 

The Scramble signal is a pilot project being tested to see if it is suitable for streets in Winnipeg. 

The City hopes that by having a dedicated crossing phase for pedestrians will improve safety and efficiency. 

Five people are recovering after multiple people were stabbed early Monday morning. 

The incident happened around 4 a.m. in the 500 block of Mountain Avenue. 

Winnipeg police say when they arrived at the scene, they found five adults suffering from stab wounds. Three were transported to hospital in critical condition, the other two in stable condition. They have all since been upgraded to stable condition. 

It's believed the incident is isolated and involved a group of people who were fighting. They say there is no risk to public safety.

Thick wildfire smoke drifting down from northern Manitoba has prompted Environment Canada to issue an air quality warning for much of the province.

The earlier special air quality statement was upgraded as out-of-control wildfires continue to burn in the north, pushing thick smoke into southern Manitoba and as far away as the American border states.

 Environment Canada says smoke is causing very poor air quality and reduced visibility. 

The smoke is expected to clear throughout the morning as some much-needed rain falls across the province. 

Christian singer-songwriter Terrian is sharing her testimony in a new film.

The former member of TobyMac's Diverse City sat down with the global storytelling ministry, I Am Second, to share her story. 

Music was something that Terrian knew would always be a part of her life. She grew up a pastor's kid surrounded by praise and worship music in church and her home. 

By the time she was five years old, she already knew her career would involve music. However, it wasn't until later in her life that she would develop a deeper relationship with God.  

As more Manitobans flee their homes due to out-of-control wildfires, the Winnipeg Humane Society is stepping up to provide temporary shelter for animals with no place to go.

A new temporary shelter will be set up in the St. Norbert Community Centre and will be able to house and provide vet care to about 60 animals. 

Dante Bowe has returned to Maverick City Music almost three years after he was released from the band due to 'inconsistent behaviour with our core values and beliefs.'

Maverick City Music took to social media on Sept. 26, 2022, to announce that they were pausing their work with Dante. 

About three weeks ago, it was revealed that Bowe was back on tour with the five-time Grammy-award-winning collective. 

In a video posted on Dante's social media, you can see him performing on stage alongside the popular worship band. 

Christian singer and rapper Forrest Frank was recently on a podcast, in which he shared a story about following God's prompting and the incredible thing that happened next. 

"I'm in Seattle and I feel like God is telling me to let my car run out of gas," says Frank in a recent podcast interview on The George Janko Show. "I don't know if you're familiar with the geography of Seattle, but there's this long bridge. I'm halfway on this bridg,e and the car runs out of gas."

It took Frank an hour and a half of walking to get off the bridge and find the nearest gas station.
