Rainbow Trout Music Festival — an annual independent event held just south of St. Malo along the Roseau River — has announced its lineup, bringing to the water an eclectic genre-spanning mix of Manitoban and Canadian artists from Aug. 16 to 18.

Weekend passes are available for $145 and day passes ($45 for Friday, $75 for Saturday, $25 for Sunday) will only be available at the gate. Admission is free for children 12 and under.

A few standouts of the nearly 30 artists performing include Windsor, Ont.-based Palestinian-Canadian experimental guitarist Bilal Nasser; bilingual eco-pop duo Beau Nectar; and Western Canadian Music Award-nominated Field Guide.

A few other local favourites include songwriter Larysa Musick, rising indie groups Sundayclub, Strawberry Punch and Leon’s Getting Larger, electronic acts Meanspath and Gora, oddball performance artist Smoky Tiger and post-rock artist Thunder McVey.

The full lineup is available at rainbowtroutmusicfestival.com.

Founded in 2008, Rainbow Trout is a not-for-profit, volunteer-run event that has grown to welcome more than 900 attendees each year to the festival grounds, a property owned and maintained by former St. Boniface residents Georges and Florence Beaudry.

Bison kicker Turner named captain, shows she belongs

Even on nights like this, Maya Turner can appreciate how far she’s come.

Though it feels like yesterday that the Manitoba Bisons kicker arrived on the scene with an unheralded right leg and a point to prove, these days the fifth-year student-athlete is lining up to split the uprights with a veteran boot and the added responsibility of being a team captain.

Getting to this point wasn’t easy, though.

It’s now four years ago that Turner ditched her NCAA Division 1 soccer career at Loyola University in Chicago to kick a different ball on the gridiron and signed with the Bisons, who were one of more than one hundred programs across North America that she sent tape to in hopes of realizing a new dream.

Positive anticipation is growing about major housing developments underway in Winnipeg’s downtown

If traffic is light and the wind is down, Somia Sadiq is able to hear the roar of Winnipeg Jets fans twice: first through her window, then on TV.

From her apartment view high above downtown, she can look out at Graham Avenue’s painted pedestrian landscape, see construction cranes and hear the heavy equipment at work as massive housing projects take shape at The Forks, at what used to be Portage Place shopping centre and at the former Hudson’s Bay building.

Sadiq has lived at 300 Main for 2 1/2 years, a few steps from the city’s famous, windy and reopened-to-pedestrians Portage Avenue intersection. At 42 storeys, it’s the tallest building in Winnipeg.

She is among 18,000 downtown residents who will soon be joined by thousands of others attracted to the city’s core by the new wave of major construction projects.

MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions from 3 a.m. until 6 a.m. The full moon in Aries peaks at 11:49 p.m.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is a restless day for you because the full moon is in your sign. (This happens once a year and it can create tension between you and those close to you.) Patience is your best ally. Give yourself the freedom to change plans.

‘In Normandy, we remember’

Aaron Epp 4 minute read Yesterday at 6:23 PM CDT

Travelling nearly 7,000 km from his home in France to Winnipeg gave Gabriel Zaranski a new perspective on warfare.

“It’s very different to speak about war in school (than) to speak with real people who (have fought) in a war,” he said. “We can feel the emotion when they speak … The testimony has more impact when it’s real soldiers.”

Zaranski is one of 14 Grade 12 students from Bayeux, a town in France’s Normandy region, in Winnipeg this week for a learning tour.

The students, who attend Lycée Arcisse de Caumont high school, met on Saturday with veterans from the Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada, a local military regiment, to discuss their studies and the regiment’s role in the Second World War.
