Uptown, the alternative weekly that has had many incarnations over the decades, is about to get a new home.

Beginning Nov. 1, Uptown will be relaunched as a new section that will run as part of the Thursday edition of Free Press delivered to subscribers and available for sale on newsstands.

“Uptown has long been seen as the go-to guide for what’s going on in arts and entertainment in our city,’’ Free Press editor Paul Samyn said.

“We want to build on that reputation with a bold new look for Uptown that will not only help readers plan their nights out but also give them lots to think about when it comes to culture and our city.”

While Uptown is moving upstairs to the Free Press newsroom from its sister publication Canstar Community News, the weekly will still be distributed in the existing Uptown boxes and racks around the city.

Stephanie Scott and her team received the miniature wooden canoe during a ceremony at Assiniboine Park in Winnipeg.

They also left with a freshly signed corporate declaration of action, where national companies pledged their commitment to reconciliation.

“Your commitment, your courage is so important,” Scott told a room of roughly 15 people in the Pavilion. “It is a very long journey that we’re all on.”

Waiver wire pickup leads Jets to victory in Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH – Now that’s a positive first impression.

The Winnipeg Jets swept a two-game road trip, thanks in part to Clay (Mud) Stevenson making 30 saves in his debut with the team that claimed him off waivers one week earlier.

Stevenson was excellent in a 3-2 victory for the Jets over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday night at PPG Paints Arena.

“He obviously made some big big stops, right up to the end of the game there,” said Jets head coach Scott Arniel. “He was real solid and confident and looked comfortable. It was great to see a kid come in here like that, a new organization late in training camp. He came as advertised.”

Bombers still control post-season destiny

Taylor Allen 6 minute read 6:42 PM CDT

Jake Ceresna was confident he was putting pen to paper with a Grey Cup contender.

When the star defensive tackle signed with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in free agency back in February, did he foresee any scenario in which they’d be under .500 at this point in the season and in danger of missing the playoffs?

“That’s a good question,” Ceresna admitted after Wednesday’s closed practice.

“Obviously, at the beginning of the year, you think you’re gonna go 18-0. But the reality of life is there’s roller-coasters. There’s going to be hard times, there’s going to be good times. We’re in the valley right now and we just have to come out of it and get back to the peak.”
