Description

Seventy-seven-year-old veteran politician Jim McCrae is running for a seat on the Brandon School Division board, bringing decades of public service experience—including time as Manitoba’s Attorney General and Minister of Education—to the table. With five generations of his family tied to Brandon schools, McCrae says he’s driven by a lifelong commitment to public service and believes his background gives him the tools to navigate the division’s complex challenges: shifting demographics, rapid tech changes, and tight budgets. He’s calling for a focus on improving student outcomes, closing achievement gaps, and empowering teachers—while insisting school board decisions must remain free from partisan politics.

Medieval Magic in the Heat | Winnipeg News

Step back in time amid soaring heat and steel-clad warriors at the Cooks Creek Medieval Festival — a biennial celebration since 2004 that’s more than just jousting and swordplay. Born to fund a local Ukrainian Catholic Church, this event now thrives as a vibrant community haven where history, passion, and camaraderie collide. Attendees like Julian Kresz and Scott Livingstone describe it as an essential escape and a powerful reminder of belonging — proving that shared interests can forge lasting bonds and support vital local causes, one medieval battle at a time.

MLA Home Broken Into in Winnipeg | Winnipeg News

A Winnipeg MLA narrowly escaped a brazen home invasion when a suspect smashed his window, demanded alcohol, and threatened him—just as he was asleep. The same night, seven other homes and a high school were targeted, with glass shattered and items stolen. The suspect, who didn’t know any of the victims, used rocks and bricks to force entry and was later spotted by another victim carrying a broken bottle. He was arrested without incident and now faces multiple charges including breaking and entering, assault with a weapon, and uttering threats. The incident underscores rising community safety concerns and the unsettling reality that even public figures can be victims of random violence.
