SATURDAY, MARCH 17

MOON ALERT Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 8 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. After that, the moon moves from Capricorn into Aquarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Enjoy the last few days of this Pisces sun by giving yourself some solitude somewhere (preferably with a sunny patio and a great espresso bar) so you can ponder what you want your new year (birthday to birthday) to be all about. It’s easier to reach your goals if you define them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Enjoy this time of increased popularity. Continue to accept all invitations and extend some to others. Join groups, clubs and organizations. Shmooze with others and share your hopes and dreams for the future with them. Why? Their feedback will help you!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You are still very much high viz with the sun at high noon in your chart. This great lighting flatters you, so make the most of it by demanding the advantage when dealing with bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs. They will bow to you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Because you’re eager to learn and hungry for adventure, indulge yourself in some way. Travel if you can. Sign up for a course. Go to ethnic restaurants or visit places you’ve never been before. Be a tourist in your own city. (Send your family postcards from the other end of town.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Definitely give some serious effort (yes, the E word) to wrapping up loose details about taxes, debt, shared property, insurance matters, inheritances and wills. Just do it because it’s gotta be done. Then you can give yourself a nice little reward afterwards.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Respect your need for more sleep right now, because it’s a fact. The sun is still opposite your sign, as far away from you as it gets all year — and of course, the sun is your source of energy! Enjoy naps and more rest. (Find someone to cuddle.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Because you are virtually seized with a desire to improve your health and get better organized — act on this! Use this motivation. (It won’t always be there.) Make a list of dietary and exercise regimes as well as a list for cleaning up your act. Feels good, doesn’t it?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Vacations, arts and crafts, romance, love affairs and playful times with children are all tops on your menu now. This is a fun time for Scorpios! Indulge your need to play and enjoy yourself. Very soon, you’ll be working hard. (Oh yeah.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Get as much done as possible while you’re so strongly focused on home, family and your domestic world. Of course, you also want to “hide” and relax at home, especially because family memories and discussions are giving you a lot to think about.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Press on! This accelerated pace is totally appropriate for you now. Short trips, errands, reading and writing plus increased time with siblings and neighbours keep your schedule jam-packed. Press on! This is not the time to dally at home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

“The King was in the counting house counting out his money.” Your focus continues to be on cash flow, assets and your possessions. Perhaps you’re deciding what to keep and what to let go? You’re doing a financial inventory of your life.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

The sun is in your sign for a few more days so make the most of this! Whenever this happens (once a year) it’s your turn to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. It also tends to attract people and favourable circumstances to you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Rob Lowe (1964) shares your birthday. You express your feelings towards others in an almost tender way. You’re imaginative and multitalented. You do many things well. You’re also enthusiastic about life and your enthusiasm is contagious. People like to be around you. Personally, you’re a do-gooder and like to be involved in important causes. Study something important in the year ahead because you will value it.

Hutterite colonies embrace the manufacturing business – while staying faithful to their way of life

Gabrielle Piché 13 minute read Thursday, Oct. 22, 2026

Tucked away at Oak Bluff Hutterite Colony, past rows of communal housing and farm buildings, Aaron Maendel tinkers in a laboratory.

Black-and-white sheets smeared with grey-test formulas cover a counter. A Thermotron — a refrigerator-looking machine — is powered off but standing by to simulate any desired temperature.

Maendel moves to a worktop littered with partly full mixing cups. He pulls out a small, rectangular sample — a sheet showing the drying time of his new fixation, floor coatings.

“Very simple, actually. Very simple machine. Drags a stick through the mud,” Maendel says.

School division’s mental-health liaison helps students in crisis access help faster

School division’s mental-health liaison helps students in crisis access help faster

Kelly-Anne Riess 4 minute read Yesterday at 9:19 AM CDT

A youth experiencing a mental-health crisis at a River East Transcona school was connected with specialized care within hours this fall, offering an early example of how a new partnership is helping students in distress.

After the teen made statements that raised safety concerns, school administrators contacted a newly appointed mental-health crisis liaison, who arrived within 30 minutes, assessed the situation and met with the student, their family and school staff.

By the end of the morning, the student was admitted to a crisis stabilization unit for several days, and arrangements were made for followup therapy.

The intervention was possible because of a pilot partnership between RETSD and The Link: Youth and Family Supports, which began at the start of the school year.

Opening of Portage and Main shows even seemingly insurmountable impasses can be overcome

Opening of Portage and Main shows even seemingly insurmountable impasses can be overcome

Jason Syvixay 9 minute read Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026

There are places in a city that become more than places. Portage and Main is one of them. For generations of Winnipeggers, the intersection has represented downtown, traffic, development and civic identity. Its reopening to pedestrians in 2025, after 46 years of closure, was about more than crossing a street. It was a reminder that decisions made by one generation can shape the choices available to another — and that even seemingly permanent decisions can be reconsidered.

I have spent much of my professional life thinking about Winnipeg as a planner, working in public, private and non-profit settings. My PhD research gave me an opportunity to examine Portage and Main differently: not simply as a debate about cars and pedestrians, but as a window into how power operates in a city. I reviewed 569 archival documents spanning the 1960s to the present, interviewed 48 planners with experience in Winnipeg, and mapped the relationships between planners, politicians, developers, engineers, residents, businesses and advocacy groups.

What emerged was a story about how planning decisions become embedded in a city’s institutions, agreements, infrastructure, professional practices and political expectations — shaping not only what gets built, but who gets to influence what gets built.

The closure of Portage and Main in 1979 did not remain a decision confined to a particular political moment. Over time, it was reinforced by development agreements, physical infrastructure, property relationships, traffic-engineering practices, administrative routines, and public narratives about mobility and downtown revitalization. The people who made many of those original decisions eventually left office. The arrangements they created remained. Later planners inherited them.

Air force pays tribute to retiring CC-130H Hercules planes

Air force pays tribute to retiring CC-130H Hercules planes

Chris Kitching 5 minute read Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026

Royal Canadian Air Force personnel in Winnipeg bid farewell Saturday to the military branch’s last remaining CC-130H Hercules planes — “workhorses” that crews flew in seemingly countless combat, rescue and transport operations.

The federal government is phasing out Canada’s fleet of CC-130H Hercules aircraft, which entered service in 1974, in favour of modern planes, including the CC-295 Kingfisher, which will be used for search-and-rescue operations out of 17 Wing Winnipeg as of November.

“It’s really part of our family and one of us. This was the backbone of a lot of things that we do here out of Winnipeg,” Col. Curtis Wright, commander of 17 Wing Winnipeg, said of the “mighty Herc” after a retirement ceremony and a flypast.

The 435 Transport Search and Rescue Squadron, based at 17 Wing Winnipeg, is the final RCAF unit to fly the CC-130H Hercules. Two Winnipeg-based planes are still being flown. They will be taken out of service Nov. 1 and Nov. 18, Wright said.

First Crumbl cookie shop opens in Winnipeg

The early birds got their cookies.

Klaudia and Jayson Ballantyne were the first in line for the grand opening of Winnipeg’s first Crumbl location at 1570 Regent Ave. West, arriving at 2 a.m. Friday — six hours before the cookie chain was set to open.

The brother and sister brought their lawn chairs and blankets and hunkered down.

Roughly 90 minutes later, by their count, the next customers arrived.
