The Winnipeg Jets opened their 2024-25 season in spectacular fashion, shutting out the Edmonton Oilers 6-0 thanks to a standout performance from goaltender Connor Hellebuyck.

On this day five years ago, Manitoba faced one of the most intense storms in its history—the Thanksgiving Blizzard of 2019.

What started as a typical autumn day quickly turned into a weather nightmare that Manitobans will never forget.

Dubbed *the perfect storm* by meteorologists, the blizzard began on October 10, 2019, and continued to pummel the province over the next several days.

Winnipeg's Mayor at the time, Brian Bowman, aware of a big storm that was about to hit Winnipeg, addressed the public near noon on Oct. 10.

Classes at Université de Saint-Boniface have been cancelled for the rest of the day following the discovery of a suspicious package that led to a full campus evacuation Thursday morning.

The Winnipeg Police Service’s bomb disposal unit was called to the scene around 9a.m. By 11:10 a.m., they had cleared the area after confirming the package did not contain any dangerous materials.

In an official statement, posted to the school's X account, the university explained that the evacuation took place at 9 a.m., with all students and staff safely leaving the campus.

Philippians 2:1-2

Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.
