It's time for another Made in Manitoba, and we're welcoming back a long-time friend Winnipeg's Don Amero. He's joining us ahead of the release of his new EP "Broken Record: Part 1 - Heart", and with a title like that there seems to be a promise the music and lyrics will hit you right in the heart.

A local filmmaker will be showcasing his documentary at the Real to Reel Film Festival in Winnipeg this weekend. 

Alex Reimer and his wife, Miriam, set out on a journey across Europe to film and produce this compelling piece. 

“We loaded up ourselves into a tiny little camper van and we drove across the continent. It was kind of a once in a lifetime opportunity for us.” 

A male student was arrested Friday for threats he allegedly made towards Ste. Anne Collegiate. 

Ste. Anne Police Chief Marc Robichaud says earlier today, his department was notified that there had been threats made through a text messaging system, which made their way to Winnipeg Police. 

"We were notified that there was potentially somebody threatening to be an active shooter here in Ste. Anne," says Robichaud. "So officers responded to all the schools in Ste. Anne immediately and locked them down."

On Friday, the Seine River School Division (SRSD) said schools in Ste. Anne were put into lockdown due to "recently reported information."

An email from Colin Campbell, superintendent of the SRSD said divisional staff worked closely with local police to assess the situation.

"We want to reassure you that all students and staff are safe," he said, and emphasized that the safety and well-being of the division's students and staff were their top priority.

He asked those who planned on going to the schools not to do so, in order to keep the area clear.

A curling team from Ste. Anne went on magical run all the way to the finals and captured silver in the MHSAA Provincial girls curling.

"We were not expecting anything big," explains team member Alyana Beaumont. "When we got to playoffs, we kind of just kept winning, it was pretty surprising. We got all the way to the finals and just fell a bit short."

The City of Steinbach issued building permits for eight new dwelling units in January, marking a promising start to the year despite the typically slower winter months. The total value of the building permits issued was $1,607,200. Among the permits, the largest project is a double duplex dwelling set to be constructed on Kootenay Way.

The Lac du Bonnet Ice Fishing Derby is back this Saturday, bringing families and fishing enthusiasts together for a fun-filled competition, while supporting local community groups. 

The weather is looking promising for a day of fishing, excitement, and of course, prizes.
