‘Belligerent’ man ticketed after dog left in hot car

2 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 3:05 PM CDT

Winnipeg police have ticketed a man accused of leaving his dog in his vehicle in a grocery store parking lot, then attacking bystanders who were concerned about the pet's welfare during the intense heat earlier this week.

Winnipeg Police Service patrol officers were called to the Safeway parking lot on the 600 block of Osborne Street at about 1 p.m. on Wednesday over the incident.

Police believe the man parked in the lot and left his German Shepherd in the vehicle to shop. Several bystanders gave the "thirsty, distressed" dog cold water through a crack in the window. The driver confronted them, then went back into the store. The bystanders continued to try to help the dog, as the temperature was about 30 C with a humidex value of 43 C.

The man then returned to his vehicle and was "belligerent" with the bystanders, before hitting one of them with his vehicle, reversing into a parked pickup truck and driving off at a high speed, police said.

Kreviazuk, in her own voice

Eva Wasney 7 minute read Yesterday at 4:00 PM CDT

Chantal Kreviazuk is in the midst of a very busy year.

In May, the Winnipeg-born singer-songwriter released her 11th studio album, In My Own Voice — a project that reclaims and reimagines a selection of hit songs she’s written for some of the world’s biggest artists.

The 12-track album features Kreviazuk performing ethereal covers of Pitbull’s Feel This Moment, Drake’s Over My Dead Body and Gwen Stefani’s Rich Girl, among others.

But she didn’t stop there.

IG Wealth Management to sell longtime Portage Avenue HQ

Gabrielle Piché 4 minute read Thursday, Jul. 30, 2026

The downtown IG Wealth Management building will soon be up for sale.

The Winnipeg-based financial services company is moving its headquarters after nearly 40 years at 447 Portage Ave., across from the former Hudson’s Bay flagship store.

By current timelines, staff will move into a newer downtown tower — 360 Main St. — in 2028.

Roughly 1,100 employees will make the transition, according to Nancy McCuaig, executive vice-president of IGM Financial, IG Wealth Management’s parent company.

Wild weather uproots trees across city, leaves thousands in Manitoba without power

Wild weather uproots trees across city, leaves thousands in Manitoba without power

Chris Kitching 8 minute read Thursday, Jul. 30, 2026

This summer’s latest barrage of severe thunderstorms caused widespread property damage and power outages for more than 30,000 Manitoba Hydro customers, mostly in Winnipeg, as winds of up to 133 km/h wreaked havoc.

Charleswood resident Ian Glover’s house had minor damage compared with a neighbour’s home, where a large, uprooted poplar tree crashed through the roof while the storm pummelled Winnipeg late Wednesday night and early Thursday.

“I opened the window after I woke up (around 6 a.m.) and the tree — oh my God,” Glover said. “I got my wife up and she couldn’t believe it. I was totally blown away. (Our neighbour) said the branch went right through the house into their living room.”

Glover was thankful his neighbours were not injured. Some of the tree’s outer branches clipped the corner of his home.

Sci-fi, fantasy bookstore to land downtown

Ben Sigurdson 4 minute read 2:03 AM CDT

New bookstore alert! New bookstore alert!

On Tuesday at 10 a.m., Other Places Books is slated to open its doors at 436 Graham Ave., just a few doors down from mainstay Bison Books (424 Graham Ave.).

The bookstore’s focus will be science fiction and fantasy, and, says the website (opbooks.store), “will be a friendly, inclusive, and very queer space.” Other Places is the project of Didi Chanoch, who has been chronicling the bookstore’s progress on Bluesky (@didichanoch.northsky.social).

Other Places is the third genre-specific bookstore to open in Winnipeg in recent years. Raven’s End Books (1859 Portage Ave.) opened in 2024, specializing in the horror genre, while Bound to Please (995 McPhillips St.) kicked off selling books in the romance genre in February.

The bountiful harvest: Thousands of visitors flock to St. Norbert Farmers’ Market every Saturday

Melissa Martin 17 minute read Yesterday at 6:00 AM CDT

While most of Winnipeg is still sleeping, or perhaps just starting to think about making the morning coffee, a patch of shade and sun just south of the Perimeter Highway is already humming with life.
