Cineplex Inc. has opened the first of its new theatre, dining and entertainment complexes called Junxion.

The Toronto-based theatre operator’s first location is at Kildonan Place, a Winnipeg mall that was home to a Famous Players cinema.

The Junxion features six auditoriums with reclining seats, an arcade area with more than 50 games, a party room, live entertainment space and dining options.

It comes three years after Cineplex announced the Junxion concept, promising the first location would open at the Erin Mills Town Centre mall in Mississauga, Ont. in 2020.

The mall is still set to house a Junxion, but Cineplex now says it won’t open until the summer of 2023 with further sites to follow.

The Junxion’s opening comes as Cineplex has been working to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic while fending off competition from on-demand streaming services refusing to give all their films traditional theatre runs.

Forever avoid ex who lied about pregnancy

Maureen Scurfield 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I was feeling smothered by my girlfriend — she wanted to be together 24-7 and that was just too much. I told her that. Her reaction was to tell me a month later that she was pregnant.

I was trapped. That just stressed me out and made me worry about what would happen in my life if I married her. I was in hell.

Then she broke up with me. I told one of her friends at the bar, and she took pity on me. She told me that she was not supposed to tell me the secret, but my girlfriend was never really pregnant. She was faking early symptoms to put me through some hell.

I still kind of love that girlfriend, but I want out for good because she’s crazy enough that she would do anything to trap me and keep me around. Still, I dream about her. How can I get over her?

Provinceannounces model to determine flood assistance

Free Press staff 2 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

The provincial government has introduced a model to calculate disaster financial assistance for Manitobans affected by severe flooding.

The province said Monday it would use a rapid residential assessment model in order to speed up payments to those who suffered basement flooding between June 6 and July 1, a news release stated.

The model calculates initial assistance payments based on factors like water depth, basement size, room type, restoration need, alongside the level of finishing.

It also includes emergency work, like water extraction costs and costs associated with removing damaged material, with the aim to help homeowners make their basements livable again quickly.
