At Rainbow Stage, Frozen is hot, so the outdoor theatre company is adding two performances to meet audience demand.

Originally scheduled to close on Aug. 24, the musical will now have an evening performance on Aug. 26 and an additional matinee performance on Aug. 27.

An adaptation of the 2013 hit Disney animated film, the Broadway version of Frozen has been a stone-cold hit for Rainbow, with all other matinee performances sold out.

Tickets to regularly scheduled evening performances are still available, the company says.

“Rainbow Stage artistic director Carson Nattrass, who helmed this 145-minute production, has mined gold with his latest crackerjack cast and creative team,“ wrote Holly Harris in her rave of the production for the Free Press.

Tickets are for the added performances are $29-$78 at rainbowstage.ca.

New businesses start to creep up in former Winnipeg Slurpee shops

Tiago Resko 5 minute read Thursday, Aug. 27, 2026

The remnants of 7-Eleven can still be seen as new businesses move into spaces where Slurpee machines and taquitos once ruled.

As fresh paint dries on several new ventures — such as a pizza place and a convenience store with a name that might make a customer do a double-take — holes across Winnipeg once occupied by the international convenience chain are slowly being filled.

Business at a Domino’s Pizza in Elmwood, formerly a 7-Eleven, has been booming since it opened June 1, the store manager said.

“The issues that 7-Eleven would have had might be different than what we would have. They were dealing with a lot of theft where people can just walk in and out, but Domino’s isn’t set up that way,” said Paul Hemmerling.

The Associated Press U.S. President Donald Trump holds up a signed executive order renaming Lake Ontario as “Lake America” in the Oval Office of the White House on Thursday. Erasing the Indigenous name for a lake is just another step in Trump’s attacks on Indigenous Peoples, Niigaan Sinclair writes.

Carney’s defence of Lake Ontario carries enormous weight

Niigaan Sinclair 4 minute read Friday, Aug. 28, 2026

For centuries on Turtle Island (North America), explorers, map makers, and political leaders have erased Indigenous place names and substituted them — more often than not — with political, ethnocentric, and self-aggrandizing names.

In recent years, a few places on the continent have had Indigenous names re-established, but as of today, few of the original names are “official.”

So, it was no surprise when U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order directing the U.S. Department of the Interior and Board on Geographic Names to take steps within 30 days to officially rename Lake Ontario as “Lake America.”

The move may have been a result of the Canada-U.S. trade war and Trump’s pettiness and ego, but it also fits in perfectly with his career.

‘Fine wine’: Vintage Collaros shows up in big win over Als after 38th birthday

Ken Wiebe 6 minute read 10:29 AM CDT

Zach Collaros was in no mood for I-told-you-so’s.

There were no references – either thinly veiled or direct – to the naysayers, many of whom thought the Blue Bombers were in deep trouble as the league-leading Montreal Alouettes rolled into town on a roll for a matchup on Friday that could have left Winnipeg with a sub-.500 record heading into the Labour Day Classic.

No, that’s not Collaros’ style or part of how he operates.

After outduelling Alouettes quarterback Davis Alexander in a convincing 44-28 victory, Collaros stood in front of a group of reporters and displayed almost no emotion, despite delivering what can easily be described as his best showing of the season.

Council candidates call out vandalism after campaign signs defaced in Waverley West

Scott Billeck 4 minute read Updated: 11:34 AM CDT

A council candidate in Waverley West said she will not be intimidated after 16 of her campaign signs were vandalized this week — some with apparent gang symbols.

Nafiya Naso is the second candidate in the ward whose signs were defaced this month. Jasmine Brar, who is also running for the council seat, had some of her signs broken on Friday along Kenaston Boulevard and signs near Naso’s that were also defaced on Saturday.

Earlier this month, Eaglewood Park in the nearby Prairie Pointe neighbourhood was also vandalized with graffiti that included homophobic slurs, anti-India messages and repeated references to “3LK” — a symbol Naso believes is associated with a gang.

Naso’s signs, located along Waverley Street near Tim Sale Drive and across from École South Pointe School in southwest Winnipeg, were spray-painted with apparent gang signs, crude drawings and other messages, including “loser” and “Ur not winning” written across her name and photograph.
