On Tuesday, two Winnipeg restaurants were named to the Canada’s Best 100 Restaurants list: Osborne Village’s Segovia and the Exchange District’s Deer + Almond.

The annual list, determined by a national panel of 97 judges, including chefs, restaurateurs, journalists, gourmets and industry leaders, is considered the Michelin Guide of Canada.

In listing it at No. 46, the judges singled out the contemporary takes on tapas at Segovia.

“There are many reasons for sitting up and paying attention to Winnipeg’s improving culinary scene — and Segovia is the strongest case in point,” judges said.

Deer + Almond came in at No. 75.

Transcona teen — and Nigerian royalty — earns high school diploma as queen mother beams with pride

Manitoba’s public school system is receiving high praise from a Nigerian king who sent his only son to Grade 12 in Transcona.

Prince Adetola Samuel Owoade — known as “Sam,” to friends and family — kept his royal title under wraps throughout his tenure at Transcona Collegiate.

It wasn’t until an end-of-year ceremony that many of Sam’s peers and their families learned nobility was among the Class of 2026.

His Royal Majesty, Abimbola Owoade I, was unable to vacate his throne in southwestern Nigeria for the occasion, but he made his fatherly pride known.

Play for all: story time inspires students to fight for accessible playgrounds

Maggie Macintosh 5 minute read 6:18 PM CDT

Concerned about injustice on their school jungle gym, St. Vital students spent months researching upgrades to make playgrounds more accessible for children in Manitoba.

Darwin School is dismissed for the summer, but one of its teachers plans to resume an advocacy project after the break.

“It’s not fair,” 12-year-old Selena Wei said about the fact one of her classmates — along with other children who use wheelchairs — can’t fully experience the pea-gravel playground at 175 Darwin St. and others like it.

“A playground is a really big part of a child’s life. It’s where they experience most of their outside time and where they’re the most social,” Selena said.

Seniors group denied second chance to ask for funding

Joyanne Pursaga 4 minute read Updated: 6:02 PM CDT

A local seniors group can no longer appeal the city’s decision to deny funding for a program that helps older victims of crime.

Last week, the city scheduled an appeal hearing for Thursday, when A&O Support Services for Older Adults could challenge the city’s denial of its application for a $150,000 community and neighbourhood grant.

The city said this week the appeal was scheduled in error and has been cancelled.

“It has been determined that the decision is not subject to appeal under section 189 of the City of Winnipeg Charter,” wrote city spokeswoman Tamara Forlanski, in an email.

‘Iconic institution’ Halal Meat Centre for sale

Gabrielle Piché 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

Formally, Manitoba’s oldest halal shop is called Halal Meat Centre. But to many in the Muslim community, the outdoor sign could just as easily read “Yusuf’s.”

Until now.

After 36 years, owners Yusuf and Roshanara Abdulrehman are retiring. The 206 Maryland St. building and turnkey business are listed for $795,000.

“I’m here every day … I don’t take any day off,” Yusuf said. “It’s about time. I should let it go, let somebody else enjoy and benefit this place that I’ve been enjoying and benefiting.”

Tragedy on two wheels: Motorbike deaths rising

Morgan Modjeski 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

This year has been a tragic one for Manitoba’s motorcycle community.

The latest fatality involves a 56-year-old Steinbach woman who crashed in Whiteshell Provincial Park on Sunday, the sixth motorcycle-related death of 2026.

The woman died in hospital after she lost control while heading eastbound on Highway 44 near Provincial Road 312. RCMP said Tuesday she flipped the bike into the south ditch at about 5:30 p.m. Her identity has not been released.

RCMP said the investigation is ongoing, but preliminary findings indicate debris or gravel on a curve in the road may have been a factor.
