Gallery 1C03 at the University of Winnipeg will share several of the Indigenous and Inuit art pieces in its permanent collection in a uniquely curated exhibit.  

Rooted in Relations is the culmination of the work in the Indigenous Theory and Curatorial Practices class offered by the university. Students from a wide variety of backgrounds came together to select the pieces that will be on display over the next several weeks.  

First Nations youth leaders are warning Canadians can expect a long, tense summer of protests as governments push forward with plans to fast-track major projects — and young people will be leading the charge.

"You will see us in your cities, your city's hubs," said Ramon Kataquapit, a youth councillor with the Chiefs of Ontario and Nishnawbe Aski Nation and a member of Attawapiskat First Nation in northern Ontario.

Summer is officially here! After the long wait, we’ve finally reached the solstice — the sunniest spot on the calendar. Friday, June 20 marked the longest day of the year, and here at Classic 107, we’re leaning into the light with a special hour of music that radiates the warmth, joy, and dreaminess of the season.

Join us this Saturday morning, June 21, at 9 a.m., as we bask in a glow of musical sunshine — from sultry songs and shimmery orchestral textures to breezy chamber works and festive finales. Here's what’s on the summery soundtrack:

Scientist Daniel Shugar says images of the aftermath of Thursday's deadly rockslide in Banff National Park provide evidence of its cause — water flowing through the interior of the mountain.

“You can actually see some springs coming out of the cliff and actually coming out exactly from the scar itself,” said the University of Calgary professor of geomorphology.

He described how water from a lake above the cliff at Bow Glacier Falls had been seeping through rocks for decades before it eventually provided enough force to dislodge a boulder, triggering the rockfall.

One of the two people killed in a rockfall in Banff National Park has been identified as 70-year-old Jutta Hinrichs of Calgary.

The University of Alberta, in a statement, says Hinrichs was an educator in the department of occupational therapy in the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine. 

She retired last summer.

Her body was found shortly after a slab of mountain suddenly gave way Thursday afternoon, collapsing on hikers at a popular trail near Bow Glacier Falls, about 200 kilometres northwest of Calgary.

Search teams located a second body Friday following a massive rockfall off a hiking trail in Banff National Park.

“RCMP are notifying their next of kin and no further information is available at this time,” read a statement issued by Mounties and Parks Canada.

A 70-year-old woman from Calgary was first found dead at the site of Thursday's rock slide at Bow Glacier Falls, north of Lake Louise.

Three others were taken to hospital and were reported in stable condition.

Following a robbery involving a machete, a teenager was seriously injured. 

On June 13, shortly after 7:30 p.m. near Portage Avenue and St. James Street, Winnipeg Fire Paramedics were responding to an unrelated call when they noticed a group of youths nearby. They witnessed one youth assault another with a machete and immediately requested police assistance.

The teen sustained significant injuries and was located by West District patrol officers. During the assault, the teenager had his personal property stolen. 

Hometown hero, Jonathan Toews, is coming home. 

Toews, the former captain of the Chicago Blackhawks, hasn't been on the ice since the 2022-23 season as he dealt with Chronic Immune Response Syndrome. His final game with the Blackhawks was on April 14, 2023, and he hasn't played since. 

Late last year, Toews went on a healing journey in India where he underwent a detox, in hopes of getting his syndrome under control. 

A 38-year-old man is in custody following a series of violent incidents in the St. Boniface area. 

It all started around 6 p.m. in the 100 block of Dupont Street, where the suspect broke into a vehicle and stole property. 

Shortly after, a witness spotted the same man breaking into another vehicle in the 200 block of Enfield Crescent. The witness attempted to intervene, but the suspect reacted, picked up a brick, threatened to kill him, before throwing the brick and running away.

Winnipeg police are searching for a suspect after a 34-year-old man was knocked unconscious near Bonnycastle Park. 

The incident happened earlier this year on April 19 at around 5 p.m.

Winnipeg police say the victim and suspect got into an argument after the suspect caused a disturbance outside the victim's home in the 0-99 block of Navy Way. When the victim came out to confront the suspect, he was immediately thrown to the ground, hitting his head and losing consciousness.
