Manitoba's Opposition Progressive Conservatives are calling for an investigation after Premier Wab Kinew accepted private travel with Winnipeg's professional football team to go to two Grey Cup games.

The Tory caucus has asked the ethics commissioner to investigate the trips, saying accepting flights through a private charter goes against the province's Conflict of Interest Act.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers invited Kinew on a private charter to the 2023 game in Hamilton and the 2024 game in Vancouver.

Steinbach RCMP are investigating the theft of a bicycle.

The bike was taken from 245 Loewen Boulevard. Police were notified Thursday morning. 

The bike is described as a red Cannondale trail bike.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Steinbach RCMP at 204-326-4452, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477, or secure tip online at www.manitobacrimestoppers.com.

The Niverville Nighthawks started strong and never let up, earning their first every playoff win at the CRRC on Sunday night, a 6-1 route of the Winkler Flyers, evening up the best of seven quarter-final at 1-1.

There was a buzz in the building right from warmups as the Nighthawks fans and the traveling Flyers fans knew after game one, it was going to be a dandy.

Niverville needed a strong start and that's exactly what they got at an unlikely time.

As the days grow longer and the snow begins to melt, local photographer Jennifer Normand has been busy capturing the beauty of spring through her lens.  

Normand is from New Bothwell but recently took a trip out to Sandilands in search of wildlife, and she wasn’t disappointed. 

A men's mental health support group in Ste. Anne has gained provincial recognition for it's success.

On Friday, Jeremy Wiens, a founder of Southeast Men's Group, made a Facebook post that the group had been acknowledged in the Manitoba Legislature by Member of the Legislative Assembly, Bob Lagassé.

It was a spectacular season right from the start for the Ste. Anne Aces U15 hockey team and they finished the year off in style winning the league championship banner over the weekend.

Head Coach Eddy Watt took some time to reflect on what was a special weekend. "We started the season this year coming off a loss in the finals, so everyone was highly motivated to get the job done this year. Ultimately, we went undefeated through the playoffs. We went through the semi-finals and advanced to the finals which we took two games to zero."

One person is dead following a single-vehicle rollover near Sundown.

Emerson RCMP received a report of the crash on Saturday at 10:50 am. Police say the rollover happened on Provincial Road (PR) 201, near Sundown Road.

Officers attended the scene and located the vehicle which had left the roadway and collided with some trees and rolled. 

Police say the 47-year-old female driver, who was not wearing her seatbelt, was ejected from the vehicle. She was pronounced dead on scene.

Niverville’s Community Resource and Rec Centre was home-base for the 2025 CCAA Men’s National Volleyball Championship games, held March 5 – 8, 2025.
