This weekend marks the 25th anniversary of the Fabulous 50’s Ford Club of Manitoba’s annual Flashback Weekend.

The fun kicks off tonight at 8 p.m. with a sock hop social at the Transcona Country Club with live dance band the Dynamics and a silent auction loaded with terrific prizes in support of the Children’s Rehabilitation Foundation.

On Saturday, a car cruise departs from the Garden City Shopping Centre (south parking lot) at 2 p.m. and makes its way to Lockport and the Half Moon Drive In.

On Sunday, the club presents Manitoba’s largest free car show at the Garden City Shopping Centre.

In previous years, more than 1,000 vehicles have been on display, and organizers are anticipating a record-breaking number of vehicles for the 25th anniversary.

Registration is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and it’s free to register for all classic and special-interest vehicle owners.

The show is also free for spectators and is open from noon to 5 p.m.

Dash plaques will be given away to the first 500 registrants, and there will be class awards for the best cars, a 50/50 draw in support of the Children’s Rehabilitation Foundation, a vendors row featuring companies catering to our massive local car scene and live music from the Russell Lee Band.

Following the big show, hundreds of cruisers will make the drive across town to the Grant Park location of the Pony Corral Restaurant & Bar for the weekly Sunday Night Cruise.

For tickets to the social or more information on any of this weekend’s events, call 204-453-4871 or check out fabulous50sford.com.

Foreign workers at Manitoba hotel are owed $138K in unpaid wages and fees, labour board rules

BRANDON — The Manitoba Labour Board has ordered the Western Star All Suites Hotel to pay nearly $138,000 in unpaid wages and administrative fees after it dismissed the appeals involving three foreign workers employed by the company.

In a decision dated Aug. 25, the board ordered 6692452 Manitoba Ltd. (doing business as Western Star All Suites Hotel), 1638185 Alberta Ltd. and company director P.X. to pay a total of $137,915.79 to the Employment Standards Branch for wages owed to foreign workers S.J., J.B. and G.R.

The decision was edited to protect the personal information of the employees, who worked at a hotel, reportedly in Melita, at different times and also lived there during their employment.

The board stated the employees were owed wages after hearing evidence about long working hours, irregular payments, inadequate employment records and working conditions.

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

Eva Wasney 4 minute read Yesterday at 5:30 PM CDT

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.”
