I am really enjoying my time reading in Seine River SD schools for #ILoveToRead in February! The bonus is getting great thank-you cards like these!

Power play propels Canadian women to first win MILAN β€” Ste. Anne’s Jocelyne Larocque had the puck on her stick, suddenly alone in the slot with a golden chance to make an immediate impact on the biggest stage in sport. But the Canadian defender’s....

MILAN - Manitoba’s Jocelyne Larocque had plenty of frustrated company Saturday as Canada ran into a stellar Swiss goalie.

Fortunately, they found just enough offence to start their pursuit of a #MilanoCortinaOlympic2026 gold medal with a win.

A detailed scene-setter from Milan on a long-distance Winter Olympics unlike any other.

From concerns and controversy to the weird and the whimsical, with snapshots from the streets, the venues and the opening ceremonies.

Sigh. It’s too bad the Jets followed up last year’s stellar season with this dud, but at least after tonight there are no more illusions of making the playoffs. Hopefully some younger players get their chance to play with the big club in final games.

If this game doesn’t result in some line-up changes, it’s really perplexing. Change the roster and hope for something different.

Good afternoon folks,

Due to yesterday's blizzard, the continuing snow and wind forecast for tonight, and the dropping temperatures, Operation Red Nose Winnipeg has decided to suspend tonight's ride service.

We anticipate resuming the service tomorrow, Saturday, December 20. While we understand that this is an inconvenience, we do not wish to ask our volunteers to take unnecessary risks due to the weather. Also, while we encourage Winnipeggers to stay home tonight, those who do need a ride home should consider taking transit, calling a taxi, using a rideshare service, or arranging for a designated driver.

Please help us share this information with Winnipeggers ASAP. We will also be posting a notice on our social media accounts shortly.

Volunteers who have signed up for this evening will be notified. 

Our remaining service evenings include:

Saturday, Dec. 20
Friday, Dec. 26
Saturday, Dec. 27

Operation Red Nose Winnipeg is suspending service tonight. (I'm their media liaison.)

We should be back up and running ... er, driving tomorrow. (Myself included!)

Please share this to let Winnipeggers who were hoping for a ride tonight know.

Email I just sent to media attached.

Thinking a lot lately about the teachers in Alberta who are struggling. I hope that colleagues in @albertateachers.bsky.social know that they have support from us in Manitoba. #StandWithATA @mbteachers.bsky.social
