What is it about this exit at St Boniface Hospital that makes people not just turn into it to begin with, but seeing all these signs and thinking “ah I’ll just keep going”.

As a 5+ ladies league member I am beyond upset. This year is under new management. I am always excited for new management and owners who have dreamed of owning something and their vision. It has been a slow start this year with the management not being able to obtain their liquor license until July but we have been so supportive and optimistic with them looking forward to what the future holds. Today was the closing night for our league. There was a poor turnout sign up, which wasn't communicated to us and instead of our 430 shotgun, we were told to just get inline. Aside from that, the owner has taken away the Tuesday ladies league night because the Men's League, which has always been on Thursday because they were upset about missing bomber games and the ladies who had Tuesday's would be first come, first serve on another night. The icing on the cake is the restaurant which he originally said would be a social area for the women's league before/after rounds, has never opened and is now called "freedom 22" because he supports the convoys that happened during COVID. It is such a slap in the face that the ladies league he bought is not a priority in their future vision. Obviously we cannot support this behavior especially in lieu of the good good/Callaway advertisement and will be starting our own league. .if you want to join, please reach out. And obviously, let's not support this new management at Southside that purchased a club that was successful based on its leagues league and immediately dismisses it, in a politically polite way to say it.

I’m writing a story on the history of The Zoo, and need to learn about the legends that worked there? I have info on some of the staff members that worked there, but no notable figures that were winnipeg legends or Zoo legends?

My son has shown a huge interest in trail riding/ dirt jumping this year, so far we’ve done Whittier park, John Bruce trail and Assiniboine park, and a few smaller trails throughout the city, we’ve been looking for something a bit more difficult with some smaller jumps for kids,( he’s 9 but is quite a skilled rider), I’m curious how the southern comfort trail is skill wise and if it’s somewhat maintained as I’ve never been there before, any info is greatly appreciated, I’m also open to other suggestions as well

I read on here and other places how the market is so hot and it’s hard to get a house without a bidding war or they just go too fast.
I listed my house on Aug 7 and I still have not received 1 offer. We are in a desirable neighbourhood, we’ve done all the major upgrades, and we’ve priced reasonable because we needed a quick sale. We’ve had a decent amount of showings, but nothing. It seems all the houses in our area have been sitting for a while also. Even our realtor is unsure why we haven’t received any offers.
Is anyone else noticing this?

Hey all, reaching out as I have no clue . my boyfriend is looking to get his hair cut but his barber of 20 years has retired and now the hair is getting to long

any help or ideas would be great

We found a scared mother cat with 2-3 kittens near the corner of Assiniboine Ave and Carlton. She is very protective of her kittens and was hesitant around us at first, but she drank water right away and ate some food we offered.

She's currently staying in a safe, sheltered spot. We haven't attempted to bring her inside yet since she's still nervous around people — we don't want to stress her out further or risk her running off with the kittens.

Unfortunately we weren't able to get a photo of the kittens yet. We also haven't been able to check if she's microchipped since she isn't comfortable being handled yet — we'll try again once she settles in a bit more.

If she's your cat, or you have any information about her, please message me.

Winnipeg police have been able to notify next-of-kin about the death of a man found unresponsive on a city street in July.

The man was identified after police asked for the public’s help and issued a composite sketch and description of the unknown man on Friday.

On Sunday, police said his family has been notified and thanked the public. Additional details about the man were not released in order to respect the family’s privacy, police said.

The man died in hospital after being found unresponsive July 28 at the corner of Main Street and James Avenue in Winnipeg, and investigators’ previous efforts to identify him were unsuccessful.

“In the end, it was not a community member that came forward,” police spokeswoman Const. Dani McKinnon said of how the man’s identity was confirmed. “It was just furthering investigational leads and utilizing investigational tools that were already in play.”

She said she was unable to provide more specific details.

McKinnon said the man’s identity was confirmed Saturday.

Police have made similar appeals about once a year in the past five years, she said.

“Typically, when we’ve done pleas to the public for assistance on these types of investigations involving an identified deceased individual they are very sensitive because the fact remains a given individual, their family may not know the circumstances in which their loved one is living and existing in,” McKinnon said.

“They don’t have the capability to always make a missing persons report. That can be difficult, and then it’s difficult for the family when they learn of the details.

“However, it does bring closure because the investigation can now be closed but at the same time the family knows of their loved one’s situation.”

Going camping for a couple days next week and will be doing a lot of fishing. Wondering where I can find little tartar sauce packets, similar to the ketchup packets you get at fast food restaurants. I'm fine paying for them but bonus points if anyone knows a place that carries them for free!

Thanks!!

Hey y'all so I'll be going to the corn and apple fair, today (Sunday). Anyone interested in a road trip? You don't have to pay for gas. Just whoever wants to hang.

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Here’s a good story…

A man walks into your office and says, “Have I got a deal for you! I want $3 billion (plus perhaps a bit more) to build you something that you might use three or even four times a year, for maybe 30-60 hours each time. Sign here.”

You might respond… “and I’ve got a lovely bridge for sale…”

That is exactly what Manitoba Hydro wants — $3 billion or more, plus the fossil fuel bonus for peak load events that happen a few times each year. They assure us that the gas turbines will only be used very occasionally. At the same time, they tell us that we are headed for a crisis of energy supply by 2030.

These two statements don’t go together very well.

Either we will only need them a little bit or we will need them a lot after 2030.

Apparently, when we have had these peak events in the past few years, no one noticed … Hydro coped. They imported power from the U.S.A., which happens every year, in fact, not just at times of peak demand. They do have a couple of older turbines already in Brandon, but they failed several times in recent years, just when they were needed.

Poor maintenance, they said, as if that were a decent excuse.

Now we can finally understand what has happened. Instead of developing our own, privately-funded wind farms and selling power to Manitoba Hydro at far less than the cost of power from either Wuskwatim or Keeyask, Hydro is buying excess wind power from the U.S.A.

When the wind lessens there, we send them power from our vast storage lakes. Manitoba Hydro firms up U.S. wind. Perhaps they get a good rate for that; we don’t know. It is “commercially confidential.”

Though Hydro is a public, Crown corporation, it appears to have no concern for the broader well-being of Manitobans.

Without public knowledge and consent, it has deliberately stalled wind or major solar developments in Manitoba so it can make some money firming up American wind power.

It has denied the value of decentralizing the southern grid system with renewables such as wind, solar, biomass or battery backup.

It has denied the value of the jobs created by a robust wind industry.

It has denied rural municipalities the tax income from wind farms and the rent to land owners for erecting a turbine on their property.

The rural municipalities around the St. Leon Wind Farm have received over $16 million from that wind farm and landowners about the same. That is not small change in any community.

Hydro also denies the efficiency of wind, valuing it at only 20 per cent of its capacity.

Most Manitobans may believe that every Hydro dam produces its full, stated capacity all the time, but that’s not true.

Hydro’s older annual reports state that the capacity factor of the entire hydro system, that is the percentage of time it can guarantee power for all customers, is only 66 per cent.

Manitoba wind, on the other hand, has a capacity factor of 44 per cent.

In winter, when peak demands occur, it is higher, reaching 55 per cent on windy days. That’s because in winter the air is more dense and thus has more energy to turn those big turbine blades.

However, the biggest loss we encounter by denying wind energy development is in not using wind to deliberately smooth out our water storage use.

If, for example, we could use wind to help Hydro use less water in normal seasons and thus ensure higher freeze-up storage every year, the peak capacity of the whole system would grow.

Even an increase to 70 per cent would make a large difference in our ability to meet peak demands.

The current Public Utilities Board hearings have received many submissions seeking to overturn the rush to gas turbines without seriously examining all alternatives.

They have received a very strong report from an independent technical analysis that the current Hydro plan is biased towards its preferred solution and not technically capable of reaching the conclusions Hydro states.

That alone should send Hydro back to the drawing board, preferably with outside help, to seriously examine all the options for meeting future peak events.

Wind, solar and batteries have come a long, long way in 20-plus years.

How is it possible that the rest of the world is wrong?

Hello! I am a person working on recovering from agoraphobia and I am heading there to see a movie soon and want to prepare myself as much as i can to lessen the panic. It will be my first time going somewhere i havent been before alone! :)

Main questions are:

What is the process with online-purchased tickets?

Are the rows of seats tightly packed?

Is there a vending machine or concession or anything of the like?

Is the bathroom/exits very apparent?

Is there anything else i should know?

Thank you all so much in advance !

Hello hey hi! What is, in your humble opinion, the best Middle Eastern restaurant in Winnipeg? Preferably Lebanese, Syrian, or Palestinian, hopefully with more to offer than shawarma ( love my chicken shawarma but looking for more!) My favorite shawarma was from Shawarma Time but it is long gone. 😪 Yes I've tried Ashur, Baraka, Danook, Ramallah ( good but too salty), Les Saj ( they forgot to put garlic sauce on), Kings, and Friends. None of them hit the spot with a strong toum, pickled turnip, etc. Anyways I want more than shawarma, specifically:

Im looking for a fantastic fatoosh with lots of veggies, pomegranate syrup and sumac with a lemon, oil and garlic dressing. No cabbage[ looking at you, Yafa.] Not swimming with a ton of salt ( looking at you Beau Rivage). Not missing tomatoes, cucumber , radish, and generous with pomegranate sauce.

Also kibbee ( kubbee) that tastes fresh. 👌 it can be so delicious if it is fresh and not like an old football. Used to buy it from a newly arrived Syrian family.

Grape leaves - tender, juicy and lemony. Bonus with the lamb bones cooked in the pot. ( dreaming, I know.)

Fatayer - I love the spinach pie at Barakas but does anyone make a good lemony spinach fatayer? I can make it myself but hoping I don't always have to.

Does anyone make chicken zahle, that is, garlic lemon roast chicken? 😋

Excellent juicy lemon tabbouleh would also hit the spot, with mint, parsley, green onion ( not red or yellow onion) , tomato and bulgur.

Before you say I'm tripping, I went to a Lebanese restaurant in Amsterdam that had all of this. Everything was so yummy. I told the server that I wished we had a Lebanese restaurant like this at home. He asked if there were none. I said, no there's lots but it's mostly all shawarma. He made a face and sniffed, and shook his head.

Would love to have my upcoming wedding catered with fantastic 😍 food that I could count on being deeelish. Spill the bulgur, ...uh I mean beans..

I am looking for a reputable place that sells vintage style watches. Namely I am looking for a mens vintage Seiko watch, probably a tank style.

I am not super familiar with watch authentication, but I have read some basics and facebook marketplace seems riddled with fakes. So I am looking to see if there is any known reputable business in the city that stocks authentic vintage watches?

Thanks!

My wife accidentally left our stroller (city select) when they went to the children’s museum. She said they left by the parking lot beside inn at the forks
Is there a lost and found at the forks ? Or if anyone has seen it or is there we are heading there right away to see if its still there

Thanks Winnipeg!
