Province announces phys-ed curriculum overhaul

Maggie Macintosh 6 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 6:55 PM CDT

Manitoba is overhauling phys-ed class and requiring all high school students to regularly work up a sweat on school grounds to graduate.

Premier Wab Kinew announced on Thursday that a new curriculum is being piloted across the kindergarten to Grade 12 system this fall.

Changes to phys-ed and health education — which apply to all grades, but Grade 11 and 12 students, in particular — will ensure these mandatory subjects are delivered entirely in-person, starting in the 2028-29 school year.

The policy is called “Every Body, Every Day.”

Educating youth major priority for artist

It has to be among the biggest skateboard decks in the country, and it hangs in Peatr Thomas’s art studio on Donald Street in the Exchange District.

The four-metre deck’s artwork created by Thomas, depicts Cree skateboarder Joe Buffalo, spirit lines radiating from his airborne figure, as he becomes the first skater to jump over a massive gap (also four metres) in Montreal’s Peace Park.

“I like that idea and practice of falling and getting up again, over and over to achieve something,” says Thomas, 39.

It’s a lesson he applies to his art practice.

Treating symptoms, not the disease

Charles N. Bernstein 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

The backlog in emergency rooms in Manitoba stems from problems before and after the ER, not in the ER.

In Tom Brodbeck’s piece on the chronic and rising emergency room crisis in Winnipeg (Condition critical, Aug. 21) he quoted several experts who alluded to the backlog of accessible beds, beds needed so that acutely ill people can be moved out of the ER onto hospital wards.

This is a problem of an acute-care bed shortage in the acute-care hospitals and a long-term care bed shortage outside of the acute-care hospitals, where patients who no longer need acute care should be.

One major problem not addressed in Brodbeck’s article is the care required to reduce patients’ perceived or real need to come to the ER.

New businesses start to creep up in former Winnipeg Slurpee shops

Tiago Resko 5 minute read Yesterday at 6:41 PM CDT

The remnants of 7-Eleven can still be seen as new businesses move into spaces where Slurpee machines and taquitos once ruled.

As fresh paint dries on several new ventures — such as a pizza place and a convenience store with a name that might make a customer do a double-take — holes across Winnipeg once occupied by the international convenience chain are slowly being filled.

Business at a Domino’s Pizza in Elmwood, formerly a 7-Eleven, has been booming since it opened June 1, the store manager said.

“The issues that 7-Eleven would have had might be different than what we would have. They were dealing with a lot of theft where people can just walk in and out, but Domino’s isn’t set up that way,” said Paul Hemmerling.
