From Classroom to CFL Gridiron | Winnipeg News

Micah Vanterpool, a 27-year-old offensive lineman with a wild backstory—teaching third graders in Tulsa after not making the Patriots—is stepping into a starting role for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Once bounced between the practice squad, active roster, and injured list, he’s now set to start at right tackle against the B.C. Lions, replacing an injured teammate. His classroom chaos experience? Way more intense than blocking one guy on the field. A former Hawaii teammate of QB Dru Brown, Vanterpool brings energy and grit to a struggling Bombers offense, even as turnovers and stats haunt the team. For him, it’s all just part of the dream.

Chef Brent Brings Italian Closer to Home | Winnipeg News

Chef Brent Genyk’s new Italian gem, Sottobraccio, just dropped in Osborne Village — bringing his beloved Harth’s flavors closer to the city center.

Manitoba Settles Jail Segregation Lawsuit | Winnipeg News

Manitoba’s government just paid $129 million to settle a landmark class-action lawsuit over decades of segregation in provincial jails — a move hailed by the judge as fiscally smart, ending costly legal battles while paving the way for overdue reforms. Filed in 2021 by two inmates alleging prolonged solitary confinement caused serious harm, the case covers thousands of vulnerable individuals held in isolation for over 15 days between 2012 and 2026. Though the province didn’t admit fault, it agreed to the deal to avoid a risky trial — securing policy changes and closure for victims. Lawyers pocket $33.7 million, while plaintiffs each get $20,000. The government vows to review its practices, prioritizing safety — a settlement that ends pain but begins healing.
