The family of “a kind and gentle giant” is grief-stricken as officials try to determine what kind of animal killed the 21-year-old man in western Manitoba.

Moses Campeau was walking on a road to a friend’s house in Sapotaweyak Cree Nation, about 600 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg, when he was fatally injured Sept. 9, his mother, Paula Campeau, said Monday.

“Moses was a kind and gentle giant,” she said. “He was a person who (people) would ask to come and help them, and he would go without even hesitating.”

Manitoba RCMP said officers from the Swan River detachment responded to a report of a suspicious death at about 3:10 a.m. The scene was held and the RCMP’s major crime services took over the investigation.

Man serving time for 2018 second-degree murder pleads guilty to manslaughter in 2024 prison slaying

Dean Pritchard 3 minute read 4:32 PM CDT

A Manitoba man is now serving his second life sentence in prison after an unexplained technical mistake resulted in a fatal seven-on-one attack on another inmate.

Randal Hastings pleaded guilty Monday to manslaughter for his part in the July 2024 killing of 37-year-old Dean Tyler Young at Stony Mountain Institution.

Hastings, 33, was previously convicted of second-degree murder for a 2018 killing in Thompson and, at the time of Young’s death, was serving a life sentence with no chance of parole until 2033. His latest sentence comes with a seven-year period of parole ineligibility.

“It may be a very long time before any parole board is asked to consider whether you can and ought to be safely released into the community,” Court of King’s Bench Justice Sarah Inness told Hastings.

Menstruation, consent move up in sex-ed lesson plan

Maggie Macintosh 4 minute read Yesterday at 6:00 AM CDT

Manitoba’s newest curriculum introduces the menstrual cycle earlier and repeatedly calls for explicit lessons on how students can give, seek, and decline to provide their consent.

The education department has released its sweeping proposal to overhaul how exercise, nutrition and sexuality are taught between kindergarten and Grade 12.

Grade 5 has long served as a key turning point for “the talk,” said J Fiedler, a sexual and reproductive health educator who provided input on the new curriculum.

“There’s no ‘the talk’ anymore. Now, there’s continuations of multiple ‘talks,’ which can hopefully reduce stress for students and stigma that people experience talking about sexuality.”

If you’re a longtime hockey fan from around these parts, chances are you’ve seen the photo.

It’s an iconic snapshot of Ulf Nilsson and Anders Hedberg carrying the Avco Cup together on the ice after helping the Winnipeg Jets win the World Hockey Association’s top prize in 1978.

The person behind the camera was the late, great Jon Thordarson, who was inducted into the Manitoba Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association’s Media Roll of Honour on Tuesday inside the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame.

And while they say every picture tells a story, there’s also a darn good story about what happened after Thordarson hit the shutter button.
