Government overrides school board in ‘mature minor’ controversy

Maggie Macintosh 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 6:40 PM CDT

The Manitoba government has vetoed the Steinbach school board’s plan to override common law by making parents the ultimate authority on all student health issues.

Since Hanover School Division trustees approved a motion to disregard the category of “mature minors” just over two months ago, there has been widespread debate.

Trustees unanimously voted to stop honouring the mature minor doctrine — in which teenagers 16 and older are automatically assumed to have the maturity to make medical decisions for themselves — at the end of the 2025-26 school year.

“We would just encourage the Hanover School Division to do what they do best, which is providing high-level, quality education for the kids in their community,” Education Minister Tracy Schmidt said in an interview on Tuesday about her July 22 directive to the board to repeal its motion.

Man faces assault with weapon charge in road rage incident

1 minute read Yesterday at 11:18 AM CDT

A 29-year-old man is facing an assault with a weapon charge after he allegedly brandished a handgun during a road rage incident on St. James Street early on Monday.

Winnipeg Police Service officers were called to St. James Street and Ness Avenue at about 6 a.m., where they spoke with the victim, a 53-year-old man.

Another man pulled his vehicle next to the 53-year-old and began arguing with him over his driving, but the fight soon escalated into the other man brandishing what appeared to be a black handgun, police said.

The 53-year-old drove off, but the other man followed him, forced him to stop by pulling in front of him, and then got of his vehicle while still brandishing the gun, police said. He got back in his vehicle and peeled off after he saw the victim calling police.

When Kaitlyn Lawes drives through her childhood neighbourhood, she’ll now be able to point to a park bearing her name — and tell her daughters that anything is possible.

On Tuesday, the City of Winnipeg officially renamed Lindenwood Drive West Park in honour of the two-time Olympic gold medallist curler.

Lawes won her first Olympic gold medal in 2014 as part of Team Jennifer Jones at the Sochi Winter Olympics in Russia and captured a second gold medal in mixed doubles with John Morris at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea.

She has also won the 2018 World Women’s Curling Championship and the 2015 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, earned silver and bronze medals at the World Junior Curling Championships, and represented Manitoba at the Canada Games.

Not that long ago it seemed very unlikely that Luke Boyd was going to turn into one of the American Association’s best pitchers.

He began the 2025 campaign with the Cleburne Railroaders but was released two weeks into the year after getting torched for nine runs in less than seven innings of work.

The Baylor University product was unsure if he would have a future in pro ball after that, but then, his old pal Logan Watkins — the manager of the Winnipeg Goldeyes — threw him a lifeline.

Watkins managed Boyd in Cleburne in 2023 before taking the job in Winnipeg.
