WestJet will launch direct flights to two more warm destinations this winter.
On Monday, the Alberta-based airline announced a direct route between Winnipeg and Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, and a direct route between Winnipeg and Belize City, Belize.
Each will be offered once a week, starting on Nov. 28 and Dec. 14, respectively.
The additions support the growing demand for options to warm weather destinations, John Weatherill, executive vice-president and chief commercial officer of WestJet, said in a news release Monday.
Search-and-rescue crews on Monday continued their efforts to locate two boys who are presumed drowned after falling into fast-moving rapids at Nutimik Lake on the weekend.
The boys, identified as brothers Aaron Au Ramirez, 13, and Maximo Au Ramirez, 10, were visiting the lake in Whiteshell Provincial Park with their father and some friends when they entered the water near the Sturgeon Falls Trail on Saturday afternoon.
Lac du Bonnet RCMP received a report of the possible drowning at about 12:40 p.m. Police, along with local emergency responders, searched the shoreline and waterways but were unable to find the boys, RCMP said in a news release.
The Manitoba RCMP Underwater Recovery Team and the Hutterian Emergency Aquatic Response Team were later deployed to assist with the search. Drones have also been used.
Police are investigating after a woman died on the Sandy Bay First Nation, reportedly after being attacked by dogs.
The woman was identified by family as 37-year-old Amanda Nobiss.
“It’s just disbelief,” said Sherri Nobiss, her mother, in a phone call. Her family is devastated by the loss. “You just want to know what has happened.”
She said Amanda was a dedicated animal advocate who was volunteering with K9 Advocacy Manitoba in the community at the time. Amanda, who was from Winnipeg, is pictured with a dog in almost all of her photos on social media.

The Masjid Bilal is a chunky grey building just off Logan Avenue surrounded by warehouses and railyards. It looks more like a bunker than a mosque.
But on a summer Friday afternoon, its green-and-white carpeted interior is humming with activity. Two men in white robes and flat woolen caps are seated on the carpet poring over a copy of the Qur’an. A few young boys dodge through hallways, poking curious noses into open doors. At the back, next to a table piled with prayer mats, two girls in hijabs share schoolyard gossip. In the kitchen, women are cooking up pots of rice and chicken for people who will soon arrive for Friday prayers.
The Masjid Bilal is a community hub for members of Winnipeg’s African diaspora as well as Muslims from many other countries.
It’s also home to the Bilal Community and Family Centre, an innovative, community-centred nonprofit that is meeting vital needs for newcomers in this city.
