Tornado warnings have now ended for most areas, but Environment Canada says a severe thunderstorm watch remains in effect for southern Manitoba, including the City of Winnipeg.

As of 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, there is still one isolated patch of severe thunderstorm warnings southeast of Winnipeg.

Earlier in the evening, funnel clouds were spotted near Garven Road (Provincial Road 213), just east of Vernon Road, looking southeast toward Oakbank. The photos, taken by Vince Chan around 5:35 p.m., did not show any funnels touching down.

“Now that's a huge number, and we're just so excited to be able to serve in this community and share with our youth.”

David Crowder is asking fans for prayer after having emergency surgery. 

He shared the news on social media, saying, "I’m not near as athletic as I thought I was, I’ve broken my leg and had to have emergency surgery including some plates and screws."

Due to the accident, he said that some of his shows will be missed. "Unfortunately, I will have to miss a few shows.😔 I’m on the mend and we will figure out how to get back there as soon as we can! Thanks so much for the prayers."

The vision of the global church hasn't changed in the eyes of S.O. Oladele, who is the President of Christ Apostolic Church Worldwide in Nigeria and overseas. 

"Our vision for the global church should not be different from that which has been the vision of the church for years," Oladele said. "You're the light of the world. You're the salt of the earth."

The Manitoba Métis Federation is turning down Prime Minister Mark Carney's invitation to discuss his government's controversial major projects legislation, saying it won't attend the meeting alongside another Métis group it says has no reason to exist.

The federation, which represents Red River Métis, says Carney's decision to include the Métis Nation of Ontario in Thursday's meeting undermines the integrity of the gathering and puts the government's plans for major projects at risk.

The Winnipeg Goldeyes (31-44) suffered yet another one-run loss Tuesday evening, falling 5-4 to the Sioux Falls Canaries (43-33) in the second game of a four-game set at Sioux Falls Stadium.
