We are waking up to a snowy, blowy, sloppy and stormy winter mess Wednesday morning. Winter Storm Warnings remain in effect for the Pilot Mound and Manitou areas, with Special Weather Statements continuing for the Pembina and Red River Valleys.

With the landscape starting to look a little more like Winter, Morden is gearing up for its annual tree lighting celebration Saturday night at the Morden Civic Centre.

Alert Ready, Canada's national public alerting system, will be put to the test today.
    
An emergency alert test message will be sent out over multiple communications channels, including your local Golden West station, at 1:55 p.m. 
    

As Canada moves closer to implementing a ban on flavoured vaping products in an effort to deter youth from vaping, the discussion surrounding its potential impact is gaining momentum.  

One local vape shop owner provided some insight on how this could affect not just her business, but her customers as well. 

As we prepare our vehicles for the icy grip of winter, one driver is speaking out to emphasize the importance of properly maintaining your vehicle's wheels during the tire changeover season.

The driver, whose wheel fell off last year due to suspected over-torqued bolts, shared their story to raise awareness about a simple but often overlooked safety precaution: retorquing wheels after 100 km of driving.

It appears not only was Tuesday’s wet weather an unusual for this time of year, it also appears it may be a record setter in a number of locations.

The Winnipeg Jets broke a two-game losing streak in style tonight, delivering a 6-3 victory over the Florida Panthers at a sold-out Canada Life Centre.

The win comes on the heels of a 5-0 defeat to the Panthers on Nov. 16 and a loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning earlier. It also ensure the Jets stay atop the entire NHL with 32 points at a record of 16-3. 

The cherished Christmas event, From Everywhere to Bethlehem, is back in Winkler this weekend, bringing the nativity story to life in an unforgettable way.

Tackling high grocery prices, freezing hydro electricity rates and commissioning a new statue reflecting Manitoba's past and present are some of the priorities for the coming year the NDP government highlighted Tuesday in its second throne speech. 

The speech largely repeated the government's efforts to address health-care system challenges, public safety and affordability. 

The government is looking at introducing legislation to address anticompetitive contracts that Premier Wab Kinew said drive up the cost of groceries.
