Two of the most iconic princesses of all time have brought the magical kingdom of Arendelle to Kildonan Park this month. Rainbow Stage’s production of Frozen has been dazzling audiences with its combination of fairytale magic and Winnipeg charm. 

Harvest Manitoba has seen record numbers this year as they feed children through the summer months, and they are now reaching out for more support.

For many, summertime is a time to make memories with friends, spending countless hours playing with friends and travelling places. For others, it's a time of uncertainty, as many of the meal programs that help keep kids fed pause for the season.

The Children's Hospital Book Market is hosting a special one-day pop-up sale this weekend to raise critical funds for sick and injured kids.

The one-day special event will feature a variety of genres, including fiction, mystery, romance, cookbooks, science, travel, computer and university titles. 

Carol Irving, volunteer coordinator for the Children's Hospital Book Market, says she finds that the public is starving for books. 

A swift response from Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service crews saved a person from the Red River late Thursday night.

The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service was called to the Red River, near the Redwood Bridge, shortly after 10 p.m. on Thursday. 

When crews arrived, they quickly located the individual and brought them to shore using a boat. 

The individual was assessed at the scene by paramedics and transported to hospital in stable condition. 

There is no update on how the person ended up in the water or how long they were in there. 

Rosamunde Summer String Academy returns with rhythm, camaraderie and world premieres 

Canadian Mennonite University (CMU) has received provincial approval to launch a new condensed 16-month Bachelor of Education after-degree program, set to welcome its first cohort in August 2026.

The program aims to prepare confident, community-minded teachers to work in classrooms across Manitoba and beyond, with 28 weeks of practicum placements built into the schedule. The practicum includes extended time in rural and northern communities.

Manitoba Hydro crews are working to restore electricity in parts of northern Manitoba after wildfires damaged critical power infrastructure.

The utility says more than 1,200 wooden power poles have been damaged or destroyed by wildfires so far this year, along with related equipment such as transformers and power lines. In many areas, the full extent of the damage is only now becoming visible — and some fires are still burning.

Thousands are out of their homes, and many more are on alert to evacuate as wildfires continue to rage across Atlantic Canada.

Officials in Newfoundland and Labrador have expanded an evacuation alert along the Bay De Verde Peninsula as the Kingston wildfire burns nearby.

The community of Job's Cove in Newfoundland is affected by the expanded evacuation alert for the wildfire, which is considered out-of-control and is now more than 90 square kilometres in size.

The Kingston fire is the largest in the province and has forced more than 3,000 people from their homes.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has set his sights on Canada's electric vehicle mandate, pledging Thursday that his party will embark on a national campaign to push the Liberal government to scrap the policy he's dubbed the "Carney tax."

Poilievre led the charge as the Conservatives relentlessly attacked the consumer carbon price over the last two years, with the Liberals admitting the Tory tactics swayed public opinion and forced them to end the so-called carbon tax earlier this year. 

Say this about the Winnipeg Blue Bombers as they hit the halfway mark of their 2025 Canadian Football League season:

They have certainly developed a flair for the dramatic — and, yes, sometimes unnecessarily — so much so that the final moments of their games could bring a stone-cold corpse to life again.

The Blue Bombers improved to 5-4 with another all-over-the-map 30-27 victory over the Ottawa RedBlacks in front of another capacity Princess Auto Stadium crowd of 32,343 that certainly felt much more difficult than it needed to be by the night’s end.
