Day 3: Easy to make peanut butter balls simply delicious

Deep Dark Woods brings haunted sound back to city

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Time, after all, is a circle.

For Ryan Boldt, singer and principal songwriter for the long-running, award-winning Canadian folk-rock outfit the Deep Dark Woods, that circle remains unbroken.

“I’ve been playing in bands and going on tour for over half my life now,” Boldt says with a laugh. “It’s really bizarre to think about.”

Founded in Saskatoon in 2005, the Deep Dark Woods has released seven albums of original music, along with two followup volumes to Boldt’s Broadside Ballads series of traditional folk songs.

‘Where are they going to go?’: encampment policy blamed for homeless people sleeping outside thrift store

The owner of a Portage Avenue thrift shop says the city’s encampment ban has pushed dozens of homeless people from tent communities to spaces near her store.

Susan Lockhart, who runs Just Like New to You at 635 Portage Ave., says anywhere from 25 to 50 people can be found at any given time behind the store and along the back lane stretching between Sherbrook and Furby streets.

“Where are they going to go?” she said Wednesday from her shop. “I was just here on the weekend and I couldn’t get to our back door. There were people everywhere. Mattresses.”

Earlier this week, the city reported 275 people were known to be living in 72 encampments across Winnipeg — down from 100 encampments housing about 700 people last September. The report also noted that 141 sites have been remediated since the city’s encampment policy came into effect in November.
