TORONTO – Jasmine Lorimer will have cameras documenting her search for love on “The Bachelorette Canada.”

The Kenora, Ont., native has been named Canada’s first “Bachelorette” on the homegrown spinoff of the smash U.S. reality franchise.

The 27-year-old hairstylist is currently based out of Pemberton, B.C., and is described as a “small-town girl at heart” with an “artistic nature and adventurous spirit.”

Lorimer will search for her special someone among 20 eligible bachelors on the televised dating series.

The suitors will compete for Lorimer’s affections on individual and group dates both locally and in exotic locations abroad as she narrows the field to one.

Noah Cappe will take on hosting duties for “The Bachelorette Canada” when it premieres on W Network this fall.

Chefs gather in St. Boniface to see whose version of jollof is best

Eva Wasney 4 minute read Tuesday, Sep. 1, 2026

Chef Alex Bockarie is bringing an age-old African culinary battle to Winnipeg.

On Saturday, five local chefs hailing from Senegal, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ghana and Nigeria will go head-to-head to determine who makes the best jollof — a rice dish simmered in a savoury tomato-based stew.

“Jollof rice originated from Senegal but it has spread throughout West Africa and every country has its own method of cooking it,” Bockarie says. “It’s a long-standing fight; even among the communities here in Winnipeg, everybody’s always saying that Sierra Leone’s (jollof) is the best, Ghana’s is the best, Nigeria’s is the best.

“It’s a friendly competition; friendly, but very serious too.”

Manitoba association pitches CentrePort for national food terminal

Gabrielle Piché 4 minute read 6:00 AM CDT

A Manitoba association is vying for federal dollars to build a major food terminal as Ottawa unrolls its national food security strategy.

Michael Mikulak, head of industry advocate group Food & Beverage Manitoba, said he’s in talks with several federal departments.

He’s envisioning a 120,000-square-foot site at CentrePort Canada, the trimodal inland port spanning parts of Winnipeg and the Rural Municipality of Rosser.

About 15,000 sq. ft. would become a production-focused commercial kitchen for Manitoba companies to rent as they grow. A warehouse to store and distribute food — from Manitoba and elsewhere — would consume most of the building, Mikulak said.

Mayoral rematch between Gillingham, Klein gets ugly on Day 1

Joyanne Pursaga 6 minute read Tuesday, Sep. 1, 2026

Former city councillor and provincial cabinet minister Kevin Klein says he will soon enter the race to become Winnipeg’s next mayor — prompting an immediate war of words with incumbent Scott Gillingham.

Gillingham quickly responded to the announcement by calling Klein “toxic” and a “fixer” for Peter Nygard.

Klein said Tuesday he had decided not to enter the mayoral race weeks ago due to an unspecified health scare that required surgery. After recovering, he decided to run.

“The future of the city means a lot to me. I believe that we have so much untapped potential that I felt I should do something about it,” said Klein, noting he felt compelled to run because key city issues, such as perceptions of public safety in the downtown, have grown worse over the past four years.

Jockey wisecrack a hurtful low blow

Maureen Scurfield 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:00 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I ran into my boyfriend from Grade 9 at the horse races recently. He’s still really short. I said, “You’re so small you could be a great jockey!” He said, ”And you still talk before you think!”

Ouch! I was just stating what was true. If he doesn’t like being compared to a jockey, he should stay away from the racetrack, where people will mistake him for one, don’t you think?
