Good evening. Here’s a look at what our newsroom has been working on today:
The province’s highest court has not only agreed the City of Winnipeg’s former chief administrative officer took a bribe during the construction of the Winnipeg Police Service headquarters, it says he has to be further punished financially for his conduct. Kevin Rollason has the full story.
As part of an ongoing series on murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls, Shelley Cook writes about Cherisse Diane Houle. Cherisse was 17 when she was killed in 2009. Her homicide remains unsolved.
With the city on the verge of regulating the informal accommodation sector, Gabrielle Piché spoke to a wide number of Winnipeggers affected by short-term rentals ahead of the bylaw’s passing.
Facebook and Google have been making no shortage of headlines this week, in large part because of the move by the tech giants to block Canadians from seeing headlines and news stories. Free Press editor Paul Samyn outlines how the Free Press is responding, including the newspaper’s decision to stop advertising on Facebook.
And, the Winnipeg Folk Festival continues this weekend and Alan Small chatted with troubadour Charley Crockett who will appear on Saturday’s mainstage. Ben Waldman caught up with local klezmer all-stars Finjan who return for the first time in more than 20 years and Rebecca Chambers writes about how Birds Hill Provincial Park becomes a utopia filled with peace, love and everything that makes summertime wonderful in our province.
