I guess all good things must come to an end…but why’d it have to be in the year where we’re hosting the Grey Cup? 😭

I know it hasn’t been a great season but the Bombers picked a hell of a week to not show up at all. 😀

β€˜It wasn’t meant to be’ Sea Bears overwhelmed by Surge in CEBL semifinal

They were given a free spot in the final four and had 9,082 supporters on their side, but it still wasn’t enough to get the Winnipeg Sea Bears to the CEBL final.

The big day is here! Winnipeg Transit's Primary Network & Feeder Routes launched this morning, and a big group showed up for the very first in-service bus at 05:33 am at Portage & Spence.

Thank you and congratulations to everyone who worked ridiculously hard to get this thing launched!

It's legal! Winnipeg's iconic Portage & Main intersection is open once again to pedestrian at-grade crossings, after over four decades of barricades.

I've made a grassroots survey about Winnipeg's transit changes -- and the more that fill it out the better the results will be. Please do so! And share with other you know who use Winnipeg Transit.

T-Minus 1 month to the launch of the Primary Transit Network and Feeder Routes! This is by far the biggest change ever at Winnipeg Transit. and it's one of the biggest single-day network changes at a transit system anywhere in the world.

This is an exciting time.

That one hurt more than it should have. It was a great game, the best road game we played all playoffs. Too bad the bar was so low on that.

Doing our civic (federal?) duty and voting. Day 2 of advance polls and lines seem to be way better than what I heard they were like yesterday. This shouldn’t take more than 15-20 minutes.
