Six-year-old Layla Allen, her mom Cher Allan and dad Tod Allen spend the day hanging out in Old Market Square watching performances and playing games.
BRANDON — A 22-year-old man is facing several charges, including impaired driving, after he was arrested last week for going 100 kilometres per hour near a park.
On July 16 around 4:30 p.m., Ste. Rose du Lac RCMP officers saw a truck that appeared to be travelling 100 km/h in a 40 km/h zone near a park in Ebb and Flow First Nation.
The truck was seen near the intersection of Lake Road Northeast and Northwest Road, RCMP said Tuesday.
Police realized the truck matched a description of a vehicle that had fled from officers multiple times earlier in the week, the release said.
An outreach organization at the centre of growing concerns over safety in Osborne Village says it is taking steps to improve conditions around its drop-in centre and reaffirming its commitment to the neighbourhood.
“We recognize the concerns raised about the activity around our… drop-in site and understand the importance of maintaining a safe and welcoming neighbourhood for everyone including residents, families, local businesses and the people who access our services,” 1JustCity, which operates the drop-in Oak Table, said in a statement issued late Wednesday.
The organization said it is increasing staff presence, conducting regular patrols, expanding outreach efforts and extending Oak Table’s hours to provide more supervised indoor space, meals and access to supports, while continuing to monitor the surrounding neighbourhood and encourage respectful use of public spaces.
The province is also providing the organization with $500,000 to expand Oak Table’s hours and launch a new outreach team.
School security camera footage of a nearly 15-second hug between a teacher and one of her students was repeatedly screened and scrutinized at a historic hearing.
“This isn’t a fleeting or a casual embrace. The two were comfortable with each other,” teacher commissioner lawyer Tristan Sandulak told a professional disciplinary panel on Tuesday.
Sandulak made a case for cancelling Janice Wen Ying Ma’s teaching certificate, citing the early career educator’s alleged conduct and “credibility issues.”
The lawyer presented on behalf of Noni Classen, the independent commissioner who oversees Manitoba’s new teacher registry, during a videoconference that took up much of the day.

A Winnipeg dermatologist has been allowed to continue practising — albeit with a reduced scope — after pursuing a relationship with a female patient and seeing another patient without a required chaperone at a time when his office was normally closed.
A College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba inquiry panel, in a June 30 disciplinary decision, said it was concerned with Dr. Earl Minuk’s level of contrition and future compliance, while noting his pattern of violating professional boundaries.
A shortage of specialists factored into the decision to allow him to continue to practise.
“CPSM carefully considers the need to protect the public while balancing the need for access to care. Dr. Minuk’s expertise includes managing a condition that can be disfiguring if left untreated,” the college said in a statement Tuesday.
