The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service (WFPS) is inviting residents to visit their local fire halls today as part of an open house event, running from noon to 4 p.m.

Every WFPS station across the city will welcome visitors, offering a chance to meet first responders and learn essential fire safety tips. Attendees will gain valuable information on smoke alarms, home escape plans, and fire prevention strategies.

River levels in Winnipeg are expected to drop significantly over the next few weeks. 

As a result, city boat launches are being removed and the Winnipeg Police Service is reminding Winnipeggers to be safe around bodies of water.

Opening on October 12th and going until March 31, 2025, there is an exhibit that is happening at the Wag-Qaumajuq that explores the idea of Motherhood.

The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service was kept busy Thursday night into Friday morning battling five separate fires in less than eight hours. 

The first fire broke out in a single-storey commercial warehouse just before 7 p.m. on Thursday. 

Smoke and flames were coming from the building when crews arrived. However, they were able to get it under control quickly. 

No injuries were reported.

About an hour later, shortly after 8 p.m. a second fire broke out in a single-family bungalow in the 100 block of Dearborn Avenue. 

Classic 107 listeners will soon hear a fresh voice to start their weekday mornings.

For those living on the streets, survival often overshadows health concerns, and essential care can easily be overlooked.

That was the case for one individual, who recently shared how Siloam Mission’s health centre brought a life-changing realization to light—his need for glasses.

“When you’re living on the streets, you learn to get by with less. You don’t always realize just how much you’re missing,” Peter (name changed) explained, reflecting on how his eyesight had deteriorated without his knowledge. “Seeing an eye doctor was the last thing on my mind.”
