Winnipeg police are searching for a suspect after a man was randomly assaulted at the Forks. 

Shortly after 11 p.m. on Friday, Winnipeg Police say they were called to the Forks Market, where they found a 30-year-old man suffering from serious injuries.

According to witnesses, the victim was assaulted and knocked to the ground by a random man who then continued to attack the victim until he lost consciousness. He then stole an item belonging to the victim before walking away.

The victim was transported to hospital in stable condition. 

Five local organizations that help in the fight against homelessness in Winnipeg will receive a generous donation thanks to a special fundraiser held over the weekend. 

Each year, Brothers of the Fork, a group of local, philanthropic Winnipeg cyclists who have been doing street outreach on the down low since 2011, host the Bridge to Nowhere Ride.

The 90 km ride takes participants from Kildonan Park all the way to Selkirk, Manitoba and back. 

Due to the overwhelming generosity of Manitobans, the Winnipeg Humane Society has had to put a pause on donations. 

Last week, the Humane Society put out a call for a variety of items to help with their emergency pop-up shelter that is housing the pets of wildfire evacuees at the St. Norbert Community Centre.

Last week, the Sobey Art Award announced its shortlist of six artists from across the country. The contemporary art prize awards shortlisted artists $25,000 and a chance to exhibit at the National Gallery, with the winner receiving a $100,000 grand prize. 

While the acknowledgement is nice for Winnipeg’s Chukwudubem Ukaigwe, he’s viewing everything in a very grounded perspective.  

A missing 17-year-old girl has been safely located.  

Police say the youth was last seen in the St. Boniface area over the weekend. 

The Winnipeg Police Service was concerned for her wellbeing and was asking anyone with any information regarding their whereabouts to contact the Winnipeg Police Service Missing Persons Unit.

On Tuesday evening, they sent out a release saying she had been found.

The Winnipeg Jets brought plenty of excitement to downtown Winnipeg during their playoff run last month, but that's not it. 

Thanks to the Jets' dedicated fans, over $234,000 was raised during this season's Whiteout Street Parties to support the work of four downtown community organizations. 

The Liberal plan to give first-time homebuyers a tax break on a newly built home could have substantial impacts on housing affordability — with a few caveats — a new analysis finds.

The Liberal government introduced legislation on June 5 to eliminate the GST portion from new home sales of up to $1 million for first-time buyers, which works out to as much as $50,000 off the cost of a new build or a substantially renovated unit.

For homes sold above $1 million, the GST relief is phased out as the price tag nears $1.5 million.

A government push to steer Canada Post and the union representing 55,000 mail workers toward common ground hit a big pothole Monday.

As an increasingly acrimonious impasse drags on, Canada Post rejected a framework put forward by the union for a binding arbitration process, which Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu asked the parties to work toward just five days earlier.

Manitoba is urging tourists to reconsider visiting as it works to find shelter for a flood of wildfire evacuees now reaching 21,000.

“This is one of the largest evacuations in our province’s history,” Lisa Naylor, the Manitoba minister in charge of emergency management, said Monday.

“The government anticipates there may be a need for more hotel rooms as the wildfire season continues. For that reason, we are urging Manitobans and Canadians to reconsider non-essential travel and event plans within Manitoba."
