I sometimes have to drive over the Donald bridge going southbound during rush hour

Does anyone feel the bridge sway when sitting in the middle stopped in traffic or is it just me? Very unsettling lol. I have the worst fear of drowning

in South Osborne and it’s been down/out for a few hours. Talked to support who confirmed an outage but refused to provide any details

With all the disruption caused by road construction downtown, there should be much better signage blocks ahead and no 1 hour minimums for parking.

How does Shawn Dobson have so much support? I’ve never talked to anyone who is happy with him and it doesn’t seem like he does anything as councillor but I see a bunch of his signs all over. It was the same thing last election and he won without doing anything. People of St. James, can we please not be so apathetic that we end up with a lame duck again? Please

Where are some better places to buy whole chicken in the city? I usually wait for the three pack ones to go on sale at Super Store. It would be great if there is a local option that’s cheaper….

I feel like this should be an easy question for a city that regularly hits -30.

Last winter I had an awkward gap between getting off work downtown and needing to be somewhere else. Just over an hour. Going home and coming back by bus would've taken longer than the gap itself.

All I wanted was somewhere warm to sit and read for a bit.

I walked past a couple of coffee shops, considered the food court, and eventually bought a $4 tea I didn't even want because I felt weird taking up a table without purchasing something.

And then I realized I do this constantly.

I know libraries exist. I love libraries. But depending on the day, some branches are already closed by the time you're done work, and sometimes you're nowhere near one.

Malls and The Forks are options if you're in the right area, but even there I sometimes feel like I'm supposed to be shopping or eating.

I'm not expecting private businesses to provide free seating for everyone. I'm genuinely curious where people go when they just need to exist indoors for 45 minutes without spending money.

Especially people taking transit. If you drive, you can sit in your car with the heat on. If you don't, a random gap in your schedule becomes something you actually have to plan around.

Are there community centres, public buildings, or other places around Winnipeg where it's completely normal to just sit with a book for a while?

Bonus points for places open in the evening.

It seems ridiculous to need a strategy for being indoors in Winnipeg, but here we are.

All the mayoral candidates promises to increase the electrification of transit are empty. Transit is already on schedule to hit 15% in 2027. With the price of diesel why would anybody buy more diesel buses so 30% is easy.

Hi all,

This will likely be my last post about this — just wanted to let you know that our Winnipeg civic election resource site is now basically up to date with:

1. Candidate Q&As from various wards
   
2. Mayoral candidate Q&As [Only Scott Gillingham has yet to respond]
   
3. Voter concern profiles from real folks living and working the wards.

No, we couldn't do all wards — so we focused attention first on the ones where there's an open challenge and a new incoming face on council.

It would be great, if you're inclined, to have a look and please share around. If you have questions or concerns please just ask.

Thanks a ton — JT

I know many people don’t like Panda Express, but I’m craving! Does anyone know a place with similar taste?

We're seeing notification of a Telus outage through a 3rd party app. Can any Telus cell users confirm if they are having issues?

Can anyone recommend a local shop that sells a quality dry herb vaporizer for cannabis?

Any suggestions, we use to get Mocha butter icing cake from Gelyn's Wedding for years and really missing it since they closed. looking for a small one for next week

I received a new member offer from Costco in the mail and I just wondering do Winnipeggers think:

1. Is it worth it for a single person who doesn't buy a lot of things in bulk?

2. I don't care for the parking shit show I often read about, so are there any days/times to go that it's not so busy? (I'd be going to the one on Kenaston)

Thanks

Hello fellow wrestling fans! My family is so excited to attend WWE Road to Survivor Series tonight at the Canada Life Center! I have a question though. Can anyone confirm if Danhausen is going to be at the show or not? I've seen some things say yes and then other things say no. My daughter is really hoping he'll be there. It'll be a great show no matter what, but I'm just wondering if anyone has some inside information.

I’ve been living here for ~6 months, and haven’t really met many people/ made many friends. I was wondering what bar(s) would attract a younger (early-mid 20s) crowd? A bar that would be good for getting to talk to people and maybe make some friends?

How is it since Ami came back? No need to bash the previous owners. Heard it all already. Looking for value etc .

So, my sister ir going to spend 4 months in Winnipeg due to an exchange program, we're looking up for things that she can do to enjoy Winnipeg as much as a she can! She's most interested in fashion, games, food and nature. Any tips and recommendations are welcome

she's going this month and coming back in February/March

thanks!

It could be anywhere in the city or perimeter. Stop light, 4 way stop, blind intersection, etc.

I've heard rumblings that Arc'teryx is finally coming to Winnipeg next year. It's going to great finally have a place close by to try the different jackets on

Is there anywhere I can get past Winnipeg Folk Festival schedules? I'm not looking for the lineup, I know that's on the WFF site. I'm interested in the daily schedule with workshop sessions.

I'm trying to figure out, for example, who played in "Songs I Wish I Wrote.." in 2025. If you have the old schedules and scanned them somewhere, that would be GOLD!

Thanks

Winnipeg police have issued at least 4 community notifications about him since 2022

A man previously convicted numerous times of sex offences against women and girls — some of them targeted at random — allegedly broke into three different Osborne Village homes last month and took off when confronted by homeowners.

Officers arrested Curtis Leroy George, 34, on Princess Street on Tuesday after an investigation by the Winnipeg Police Service's property crime unit, a Wednesday news release said.

He was charged with three counts of breaking-and-entering with intent and four counts of violating probation. George was detained in custody.

Winnipeg police refused to confirm to CBC News that the man charged is the same Curtis Leroy George they previously characterized as a convicted sex offender considered a high risk to reoffend in at least four community notifications since 2022, including last winter.

In the recent offences, George is alleged to have broken into three separate residences on Stradbrook Avenue, between Harkness Avenue and Scott Street, between Sept. 13 and 14.

The intruder forced his way in through a window each time, police allege, and in two of the incidents he took off after being confronted by homeowners inside. The release did not say what happened in the third break-in.

None of the homeowners reported injuries to investigators, police said.

Despite the case initially being investigated by the Winnipeg police property crimes unit, none of the homeowners reported any property being stolen, the release states.

George has a lengthy criminal record that goes back to at least 2010 and includes convictions for sexual interference and criminal harassment.

He has previously been convicted six times for sexual assault, seven times for assault and once for committing an indecent act, police said previously.

In a case from 2011, George sexually assaulted five random women while they were jogging or walking. He was also convicted of sexual interference involving a 13-year-old girl. He was sentenced to two years.

In 2016, George stalked, harassed and exposed himself to a woman near where she worked. He was sentenced to two years in 2018.

He exposed himself to a woman at a bus stop with her young daughter in 2022 and was sentenced to just under one year.

The most recent community notification about George was issued by the Manitoba Integrated High Risk Sex Offender Unit — a joint Winnipeg police and RCMP unit — in mid-February.

That notice suggests he was released from Milner Ridge Correctional Centre after serving a 1½-year sentence for sexually assaulting an adolescent girl in Thompson, and was expected to live in Winnipeg.

That assault contravened pre-existing probation orders to stay away from anyone under 16 without written approval from probation services.

When he was released in February, George was described as a "violent" and "untreated sex offender" at a high-risk to reoffend against women and girls.

He was also ordered to be under supervised probation for 18 months, which required him to avoid contact with anyone 16 or younger unless supervised.

George also has two lifetime weapon prohibitions.

Police said in February that anyone with information about George could contact the Manitoba Integrated High Risk Sex Offender Unit at 431-489-8056.
