TORONTO - Kent Monkman’s first-ever public art installation is dam good.

The celebrated Cree artist’s new permanent sculpture, dubbed “The Colony,” debuts Wednesday in Toronto’s east end.

The 15-foot-high bronze structure features beavers dancing, feasting and celebrating, evoking Indigenous ceremonies.

It highlights the vital role of beavers in the natural, Indigenous and colonial histories of Turtle Island, says a release.

Bombers near must-win territory as Als look to punch post-season ticket

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers slayed the beast from the East once already this season — but can they do it again?

The Blue and Gold (7-7) will try to pull off another upset when they take on the Montreal Alouettes (11-3) on Saturday (6 p.m.) at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium.

The two teams last met in Winnipeg on Aug. 28 when the Bombers pulled off an unexpected 44-28 victory.

The stakes are much higher this time around. The Als can clinch the East Division with a win, while the Bombers are clinging to the West’s crossover playoff spot by a thread, with the Calgary Stampeders (7-8) hot on their heels.

The paths couldn’t have been more different, even if the destination ended up being the same.

Viggo Bjorck is the can’t-miss prospect — a Top-10 pick with a clear path to The Show. Though it’s evident he hasn’t taken a single step in this process for granted.

Tyrel Bauer is the rough-and-tumble long shot, a sixth-round pick whose uphill battle to graduate to the highest level has featured a ton of scar tissue, both literally and metaphorically.

Disorganized — that’s what Marcus Langlois calls recent United States tariffs.

He expects suppliers’ prices to increase — on mugs, pens, hoodies — for his employer, Dreamcatcher Promotions, if the United States–Canada trade war persists.

Still, he’s not pining for a quick trade deal.

“I think it should wait,” said Langlois, Dreamcatcher Promotions’ vice-president. “Let’s hope that it’s later on with proper negotiations happening.”

Sisters relieved hospital takes accountability after mother’s death

Scott Billeck 5 minute read Thursday, Oct. 1, 2026

Eight months after losing their mother, two Winnipeg sisters say an internal hospital review has finally given them something they had been seeking since her death: accountability.

Chelsea Mann and Samantha Burns said St. Boniface Hospital officials acknowledged mistakes were made in the care of their mother, Judy Burns, during a recent meeting to discuss the findings of a critical incident review into her death.

The acknowledgement marked a significant departure from an earlier meeting with hospital officials, when they felt their concerns were largely dismissed.

Burns, 68, died on Jan. 21, three days after being admitted, after experiencing rectal bleeding.

Clock ticks down on destruction of records documenting residential school abuses

Marsha McLeod 13 minute read Yesterday at 12:49 PM CDT

In less than a year, a private company is set to destroy the largest cache of records detailing the widespread abuse of Indigenous children at residential schools in Canada.

The destruction, which was ordered by an Ontario court in 2014 and later upheld by the Supreme Court, is set to take place on Sept. 19, 2027.

This countdown is igniting emotional conversations that seek to balance the immense historical value of the records alongside the confidentiality survivors were promised as part of the process of providing detailed testimony about abuses they’d suffered.

The records were created as part of the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, a class-action settlement stemming from survivors who began suing the federal government in the late 1990s over the harm they’d been subjected to at residential schools.
