Being a self-employed artist is no easy feat — whether you're a musician, writer, or visual artist, turning creative passion into a full-time gig often means navigating financial uncertainty and fierce competition. But for Manitoba ceramic artists, one place has been helping smooth that path for more than four decades. 

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.

Flames and smoke were shooting out of the home when crews arrived.

Firefighters were able to get the blaze under control within half an hour.

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

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

A classic musical will soon be taking the stage at Linden Christian School.  

Every two years, the school puts on a musical and this year, the performance is The Sound of Music.  

The story follows “A family built on love and music who are facing some of the challenges of the political situation in the 1940s in Austria, and those two elements come together,” says Matt Janzen, the musical's director.  

Sarah Fast portrays Maria, and Grant Lyons plays Captain Von Trapp.
