Folklorama started on Sunday, and it feels like the CHVN Summer Cruiser has travelled the world.

On Sunday, the Cruiser began its journey in Ukraine by visiting the Spirit of Ukraine Pavilion at Soul Sanctuary, located at 2050 Chevrier Boulevard.

After that, the Cruiser zoomed off to the Centro Caboto Centre for the Italian Pavilion at 1055 Wilkes Avenue. We ended the night off at the Pembina Curling Club, 1341 Pembina Highway, for the Argentina-Tango Pavilion.

It was a memorable long weekend for Winnipeg Jets captain Adam Lowry.

A man who attempted to kill a pastor during a live-streamed church service in Pennsylvania is facing a hefty sentence.

The 27-year-old man, who has also been charged with third-degree murder for shooting and killing his cousin, could face up to 60 years in prison.

In May 2024, Pastor Glenn Germany was speaking at Jesus' Dwelling Place Church in North Braddock when the 27-year-old suspect approached the stage, pulled out a gun, and attempted to take the life of the pastor. 

An early morning fire in the city's West End kept crews busy Wednesday morning.

Just before 3:30 a.m., the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service received a call about a fire in a single-storey home in the 400 block of Beverley Street. There were also reports that residents may be trapped in the house.

Smoke was coming from the home when crews arrived, and firefighters quickly launched an interior fire attack. 

Crews searched the home, but found no occupants. It was later discovered that everyone made it out safely before firefighters arrived at the scene. 

The Manitoba Museum is making it fun to learn this summer with a new online language.

Schlueter posted the video on Aug. 5 and talks about how hard it was for him.

The federal government is setting up a safety net of loans, product-development grants and market diversification plans for Canada’s softwood lumber industry in an effort to shield it from the worst of American duties and fees.

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the plan Tuesday, promising $700 million in loan guarantees to address what he called "immediate pressures" and $500 million for long-term supports to help companies diversify export markets and develop their products. 

Carney also promised that future projects will "prioritize" Canadian lumber.
