The Lo Pub is taking over more shows for the still-closed Royal Albert.

This Saturday’s show by Kingston, Ont., indie-rock duo PS I Love You and Sunday’s gig by one-man bluesman Bob Log III are both moving to the Lo Pub, while Tuesday’s scheduled Japandroids appearance has been cancelled.

Tickets for both this weekend’s shows are $10 at Music Trader and Ticketworkshop.com

The Albert has been closed since the May long weekend following a water-line break in the basement of the iconic downtown hotel/music venue. The bar will remain closed until the water and sprinkler systems are fixed up to code to satisfy Winnipeg’s Fire Paramedic Service and the City of Winnipeg.

Gillingham promises to make north Main revitalization a second-term priority

Joyanne Pursaga 3 minute read Tuesday, Sep. 22, 2026

Scott Gillingham says he will work to “reset and renew” north Main Street, if he wins a second term as mayor.

The incumbent candidate promised Tuesday to devise a long-term plan to rejuvenate that section of the thoroughfare, noting it has recently suffered from decay.

“It has a rich history, a deep and proud history. But the last couple of years, to say it’s been underperforming would be an understatement…. So many stretches of Main Street here, I see derelict buildings, boarded-up businesses, piles of rubble after fires that sit waiting to be cleaned up,” Gillingham said.

“We can disrupt what is going on and turn the tide on north Main Street.”

Janice Filmon has a new accolade to add to the list of honours she’s received over the years.

The volunteer, philanthropist and former lieutenant-governor of Manitoba was inducted into the Winnipeg Citizens Hall of Fame on Wednesday. A bronze bust of Filmon was unveiled in Assiniboine Park, where it joins 51 others near the Leaf.

“It’s exciting,” Filmon said. “I don’t remember being so surprised in my adult life as I was when I was told that this was happening.”

In addition to serving as Manitoba’s 25th lieutenant-governor from 2015 to 2022, Filmon has chaired the Nellie McClung Foundation, the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation and co-chaired Leadership Winnipeg.

Disgraced former law dean arrested, facing extradition to Canada

Morgan Modjeski 2 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 9:17 AM CDT

Jonathan Black-Branch, the disgraced former dean of law at the University of Manitoba, has been arrested in Europe and is awaiting extradition to Canada on fraud charges, Winnipeg police say.

Black-Branch, who failed to defend himself in a lawsuit filed by the U of M and his disbarment proceedings, was ordered in May 2025 to repay more than $682,000 in misspent expense funds.

Winnipeg police confirmed his arrest and pending extradition Wednesday morning. “The extradition process is ongoing,” police said.

Black-Branch left the university in 2020 amid allegations he had misspent public dollars and schemed to evade oversight while running Robson Hall from 2016 to 2020.

Door-knocking trustee candidate calls for changes to expansive boundaries

Maggie Macintosh 4 minute read Yesterday at 8:14 PM CDT

John Baert wants all the school trustee candidates who follow in his footsteps to have far less ground to cover.

The Island Lakes father said he was, in retrospect, “naive” when he launched his campaign in the Louis Riel School Division.

“When I started knocking on doors, I had a goal to hit every single door in the ward,” said the nominee for Ward 4, which encompasses Royalwood, Southdale, Sage Creek and Island Lakes.

More than one million steps later — Baert’s Garmin watch has been tracking his canvassing efforts on evenings and weekends since mid-July — he is about 60 per cent of the way to his goal.
