The federal government expects to spend about $7 million this fiscal year to store and maintain four custom-made, portable hospitals that cost taxpayers more than $200 million to buy — facilities meant to bolster overwhelmed hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic that were barely used.

Mother’s Day often brings to mind flowers, breakfast in bed, and picture-perfect moments shared on social media. But for some women, the day carries a far more complex emotional weight.

For Heather, this year is extra special. "Well, my daughter, it’s her first Mother’s Day, so we’re going to do dinner together at her house," she said.

Heather adds she enjoys every moment with her grandson. "I waited a long time for this little boy, and I’m so happy he’s in our life."

It’s about to get hot in the Southeast, with a heat warning now in effect for Steinbach, Niverville, Grunthal, and other parts of southern Manitoba. Temperatures are expected to climb into the low to mid-thirties during the day and stay warm overnight, with lows of 16 degrees or higher from Sunday through Tuesday.

It will still be hot on Wednesday with a high of 30 and then periods of rain expected to begin Wednesday night. That will be followed by cooler temperatures.
