A quick look at where provinces and territories stand on time changes

The Canadian Press 2 minute read Updated: 6:28 AM CDT

WINNIPEG - Manitoba's government said Thursday the province will be sticking with daylight time year-round, making it the latest jurisdiction to move away from twice-annual time changes. Here's a look at where things stand across Canada:

British Columbia said in March that it was moving to permanent Pacific daylight time. The change also means that parts of northeastern B.C., which have been on mountain standard time year round, are now in alignment with the rest of the province.

Alberta also switched to permanent daylight time this year in what it calls Alberta time. The change means it now has the same time as Saskatchewan year round.

Saskatchewan has been on permanent central standard time since 1966.

Sod turned on new apartment complex for Old Kildonan

Aaron Epp 4 minute read 7:27 PM CDT

Blue blazers and black hard hats were front and centre as developers and politicians dug their shovels into the ground Friday at the sod-turning ceremony for a new apartment building near the north Perimeter Highway.

Real estate development and investment company Rockport Investment Group Inc. is constructing the building at 928 Fernbank Ave. in the Highland Pointe development in Winnipeg’s Old Kildonan neighbourhood.

The $40-million apartment building will include 90 units and is expected to be completed in the next 24 months.

It’s Phase 1 of 920 North, a three-phase, $160-million project Rockport is undertaking that will result in four multi-family residential developments and a centralized amenities building.

AC/DC fans power up with pre-show pop-up

By Sheldon Birnie 3 minute read 9:58 PM CDT

Those getting ready to rock on Sunday night at Princess Auto Stadium, can prime their engines at AC/DC’s PWR/UP Pop-Up this weekend.

Fans lined up all the way down Fort Street south of the Pyramid Cabaret for a special preview event on Friday night.

“We’re so excited,” said Marcella Ceron shortly after getting into the Pyramid. Ceron and her husband were hoping to win tickets to Sunday’s concert, one of a number of promotions running throughout the pop-up’s tenure at the downtown bar. “We were in line since 5 o’clock.”

According to organizers, the venues across Canada have been handpicked – including the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver and Foufounes Électriques in Montreal, among others — owing to their reputations as “places where fans already gather and music culture lives.”

‘One of a kind’: CEO, philanthropist Doug Harvey dies at 72

Morgan Modjeski 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 12:57 PM CDT

Doug Harvey, a Winnipeg business titan and philanthropist, has died after battling cancer for more than a decade.

Harvey gave millions of dollars to Winnipeg organizations while he was CEO of DLH Group, a nationwide network of businesses that support heavy duty truck and trailer users.

Loren Remillard, CEO and president of the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce, said the business community is mourning the loss of the influential businessman who helped shape Winnipeg.

“We are a transportation and logistics hub in Winnipeg and it was partly the result of geography, and a big part because of leaders and visionaries like Doug Harvey,” he said.

Hellebuyck standoff caused by… Nathan MacKinnon?

Mike McIntyre 6 minute read 6:34 PM CDT

Looking for someone to blame in the Connor Hellebuyck fiasco and cast as public enemy No. 1? How about long-time Winnipeg Jets nemesis Nathan MacKinnon?

Allow us to explain as we fire up the time machine and head back to February in Italy.

Oh, what could have been if MacKinnon had been able to score on what appeared to be an open net late in the third period of the men’s gold medal game with Hellebuyck down and seemingly out of position.

Instead, the star forward fired wide, keeping the score deadlocked at 1-1 as the clock ticked down on regulation.

Mayor honours pair who rescued little girl, father from Red River in August

Morgan Modjeski 4 minute read 7:29 PM CDT

A “proud and thankful” Mayor Scott Gillingham honoured two Winnipeggers Friday who rescued a young girl who fell into the Red River last month.

Gillingham said he was humbled to meet Jayclyn Morrissette and Brady Saunders before he presented them with the Mayor’s Award of Valour for saving the child and her father, who jumped into the water in an attempt to help his daughter and nearly drowned.

“These are the kind of people who we have in our city,” he said. “When someone is in need, they’ll step up, risk their own lives, to help someone they’ve never met in their life.”

Morrissette and Saunders were at St. John’s Park in the evening on Aug. 24, when they saw the man and child in the river.
