Numerous fire crews were called to a 12-storey apartment building in West Broadway Monday evening following reports of smoke and possible trapped residents. 

The blaze broke out just before 6:30 p.m. in a complex in the 100 block of Young Street. 

Calls to 9-1-1 reported that there may be people trapped in one of the suites. 

Due to the size of the building and the potential of trapped victims, a second alarm was called, and more crews arrived at the scene. 

The province is investing in two initiatives that will help improve the lives of Manitobans living with dementia.

CAIN’s latest single, "I Made It," is more than a message of survival; it’s a testimony of God’s faithfulness. 

"In 2024, a word was spoken over us; that word was survival," said Taylor Cain Matz. "We were surprised at the heaviness of that word because, up until that point, our lives had been pretty seamless. Shortly after, things got hard for us, not just one of us but all of us, including our families and spouses. And I can see how that year was surviving. And this season brought us to our knees."

Samaritan's Purse, through Operation Christmas Child, is sharing hope and changing lives throughout the year, not just at Christmas. 

"In November, of course, is when we collect the shoeboxes," says Lynette Loewen, the Regional Manager at Operation Christmas Child for Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Northwest Ontario. "It takes us some time to process them all. Then we have to ship them to all of our countries. Sometimes we're dealing with 10 or more countries."

Acts 20:24

"However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace."

2 Timothy 4:13

I will never forget being aboard a huge troop ship sailing from Taiwan to America. A lazy afternoon led me to a book of poetry, which I began to devour with delight. I was suddenly struck with the realization that someone was staring at me. Looking up, I saw a fellow Marine who outranked me by a couple of stripes. I expected him to order me into some duty, but to my surprise, he asked: “Hey, Marine, you got any books with pictures in ’em?” Knowing him, he probably would have coloured outside the lines!
