The Grade 9 youth from Hugh John MacDonald School were asked by Take Pride Winnipeg to paint concrete barriers for the exciting event. 

The barriers, needed for safety reasons, were transformed into colourful art pieces to celebrate the Winnipeg Jets.

Tempers flared at the Manitoba legislature Tuesday as the Opposition Progressive Conservatives questioned the NDP government about a contract for mental health therapy, suggesting it may have been for the benefit of Finance Minister Adrien Sala.

Tory Greg Nesbitt tabled a document that shows the Finance department recently signed a contract for $10,205 with a counselling services provider in Winnipeg. The provider advertises services including stress management, grief counselling and conflict resolution.

The waning days of the federal election campaign saw voters turn out in record numbers for advance polls and party leaders attempt to poke holes in each others' platforms.

Elections Canada said in a news release Tuesday that the four days of advance polling between Friday and Monday set a new record for turnout, with 7.3 million people casting ballots early.

That's up 25 per cent from the 5.8 million people who took part in advance voting in the 2021 federal election.

A West End home suffered significant damage following a fire Monday evening. 

The blaze broke out just before 9 p.m. in a house in the 700 block of Valour Road.

Everyone was able to get out of the home safely before crews arrived.

Preliminary observations suggest the fire was accidental and related to cooking.

It’s a worst-nightmare scenario for some people: stranded in an elevator with a complete stranger. That includes director Herbie Barnes, although not for the claustrophobic reasons one may presume. 

“One of the things I say when I’m teaching writing is that you never do a play in a car or in an elevator,” he says, “because you’re locked in and there’s not a lot of movement.”

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is claiming the Liberals will impose a tax on Canadians' home equity if they're re-elected as the federal election campaign enters its final week.

The last day of advance voting in the general election saw federal leaders scattered across the country, pitching plans on homebuilding and health care.

Poilievre was in Toronto Monday afternoon speaking to an audience with CARP, the Canadian Association of Retired Persons. He was asked whether he would put any taxes on equity saved in Canadians' homes.
