MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping or important decisions after 7:30 a.m. The moon is in Aquarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is a marvellous day to schmooze with friends and members of groups or organizations. You’re in top form and everyone loves you. Heed the moon alert and spend money only on gas, food and entertainment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Like it or not, your visibility is high. People are taking notice of you, but fear not, all is good. Relax and enjoy the company of friends. Do not agree to anything important when talking to bosses or parents. Don’t volunteer for anything.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This is a wonderful day to explore the world and expand your universe. You will enjoy talking to people from different countries and other cultures. Study or travel will stimulate you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Be careful in discussions regarding a will, inheritance or shared property because this is a poor day for important decisions. Agree to nothing. Just fill your data bank and wait until tomorrow to sign on the dotted line.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Go with the flow today and don’t agree to anything important. Enjoy the company of others and be co-operative. Confine spending to food, gas and entertaining diversions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You want to work hard and be efficient, but shortages and delays will dog your steps. Restrict your spending to food, gas and entertainment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a playful, happy day. It’s also a wonderful day to explore your creative talents. Get out and enjoy sporting events, playful activities with children, movies or musical performances — you will feel recharged.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Despite your desire to play and have some fun, you will linger at home because you want to relax and take it easy. Let friends come to you. Pamper yourself with good food and pleasant diversions. Restrict your spending to food, gas and entertainment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You’re on the move and looking for adventure. You will enjoy meeting new people and seeing new places. Don’t spend money on anything other than food, gas and entertainment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You’re in a business frame of mind and are concerned with financial matters. Unfortunately, most of this day is occupied by a moon alert, making this a terrible time to make financial decisions. Restrict your spending to food, gas and entertainment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The moon is in your sign, making you a bit more emotional (just like yesterday). The moon alert also adds an element of uncertainty to the mix. Now, you feel unsure of things. This is a poor day to shop or make important decisions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You want to cocoon at home and maintain a low profile. Take things easy and enjoy time chatting with friends, neighbours and siblings. Confine your spending to food, gas and entertainment.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Cillian Murphy (1976) shares your birthday. You are adaptable, imaginative, talkative and witty. People enjoy your company. You can also be restless. Service to others is your theme this year. Take care of yourself so that you are a strong resource. Invest in the relationships you value. Tap into your personal creativity and hobbies.

Daycare connected to fire-damaged apartment shuttered

A Winnipeg mother is scrambling to find care for her autistic son after a fire at a connected Manitoba Housing building shuttered a West Broadway daycare.

The daycare, licenced for 45 children, was forced to lock its doors after a fire at 25 Furby St. sent eight people to hospital early Thursday morning.

Parents were informed about the closure of the Cornish Child Care Centre on the morning of the blaze. When Tara Gogal saw the extensive damage to the building, she knew her three-year-old son Finn would not be able to go back any time soon.

“I said to myself: ‘it’s impossible this daycare is opening,” she said. “I couldn’t imagine the amount of damage.”

Confusion part of syllabus as MITT winds down operations

More than 500 students are trying to complete their courses before the Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology permanently closes.

Manpreet Singh, who is set to graduate from the electrical applications program in the fall, said finishing his studies is a confusing and anxiety-inducing process despite the promise it would go smoothly.

“Nobody has a clear image,” he said.

Officials said in January the post-secondary institute was no longer financially viable because of the federal government’s decision to cut the number of international students allowed to study in Canada. Nineteen of its programs are being absorbed by Red River College Polytech, which is taking over the institute’s campuses in south Winnipeg.

‘Cautious optimism’ in Brandon as river crests

Scott Billeck 2 minute read 11:17 AM CDT

Water levels on the Assiniboine River, which have threatened Manitoba’s second-largest city over the past week, crested overnight, Brandon officials said Monday.

The river reached 1,179.46 feet, “indicating the river level has stabilized and reached its peak overnight,” according to an update posted on the city’s website.

The level stood at 1,179.23 feet on Sunday morning after rising 1.63 feet from Saturday. Officials had expected it to climb by as much as another foot before cresting. Overall, the river has risen about 7.5 feet over the past week.

Despite the crest, residents are still being urged to remain prepared as conditions could change.

Former fashion mogul Peter Nygard found guilty of sexual assault in Montreal

Erika Morris, The Canadian Press 3 minute read Updated: 2:14 PM CDT

MONTREAL -  A Court of Quebec judge in Montreal has found fashion mogul Peter Nygard guilty of sexual assault and forcible confinement.

The 84-year-old, who founded the now-defunct women's apparel company Nygard International, accepted a plea deal and did not present any evidence in his defence Monday. He appeared via video call from an Ontario prison.

The Quebec case is separate from Nygard's conviction in Toronto, where he was found guilty in 2023 of four counts of sexual assault and sentenced to 11 years in prison.

Quebec Crown prosecutor Jérôme Laflamme said Nygard's plea was unexpected and he was prepared for a 10-day trial before a judge only.

If it works in Ontario, why not in Manitoba?

Grid-scale battery storage has fundamentally changed the global energy landscape — and Manitoba needs to get on board.

Battery systems store large amounts of excess electricity for when it’s most needed. While they can be charged from any generation source, they are especially beneficial for integrating wind and solar power, which vary with weather and time of day. Batteries allow electrical grids to meet the need for firm, dispatchable and affordable capacity using renewable energy, rather than relying on coal, nuclear and fossil gas. They also provide numerous other benefits, including reducing overloading of transmission infrastructure and helping to regulate the grid’s frequency and voltage.

Average costs for grid-scale batteries plummeted by more than half between 2023 and 2025 and installations have skyrocketed in China, the U.S., Australia and Europe. Texas now has 16,500 megawatts (MW) of battery storage, while California has 15,200 MW. Closer to home, Ontario recently awarded 640 MW of contracts to three battery storage projects in a competitive auction, with batteries beating out fossil gas-fired power plants on cost every time. One of these projects will be built near Dryden, only four hours east of Winnipeg.

Each battery system will provide eight hours of capacity but will cost considerably less than Ontario’s previous battery procurements, which provide only four hours of capacity. With this latest auction, Ontario has now secured 3,600 MW of battery storage capacity, including the operational Oneida (250 MW), Hagersville (300 MW) and Napanee (250 MW) projects. Almost all have significant Indigenous participation, with the latest procurements boasting 50 per cent First Nations ownership.
