The Burton Cummings Theatre has launched a new website for concert-goers.

The site, www.burtoncummingstheatre.ca, offers concert-goers unlimited access to information on all events at the theatre, including event announcements, ticket information and photo galleries of events.

“Our support and involvement at The Burt is another significant opportunity for us to expand our entertainment footprint in Winnipeg,” Kevin Donnelly, True North Sports and Entertainment’s senior vice president of Venues and Entertainment, said in a statement today.

Student union coalition scrutinized, accused of providing minimal benefit for fees paid

Maggie Macintosh 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 8:36 AM CDT

Despite being labelled as “permanently closed” online and maintaining a website filled with outdated information, a coalition of student unions is defending itself as an active entity deserving of fees in spite of its low profile.

The Canadian Federation of Students and its local chapter, better known as CFS-MB, collect annual membership dues from campuses across the province to support their advocacy work.

Alan Saji Koshy’s advice to new and returning students to the University of Winnipeg? “Start asking questions.”

“We pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for practically no benefit and students don’t even know (CFS-MB resources) exist,” the recent graduate and former student association president said.

The circle of life — garden-sized

5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

“The lesson I have thoroughly learnt, and wish to pass on to others, is to know the enduring happiness that the love of a garden gives.” — Gertrude Jekyll (1843-1932), horticulturalist

It’s a chilly day for August — more like fall — but in the garden things are progressing as nicely as if every day this summer had been the perfect combination of sun and showers.

The peonies are spent, their heavy heads with a hangdog look. Soon the petals will fall, revealing the jester-hat seedpods within. The lilacs, too, their beautiful, fragrant blossoms now transformed into brown scruff.

But the day lilies are plumping up, ready for their big reveal. And the roses are still magnificent — dozens and dozens of fuchsia, red, white and coral blooms that turn our stone circle into a heavenly scented bower. It is here where we come after a hard day’s work in the garden, newly scrubbed and wearing fresh clothes, to sit at a little bistro table and have a glass of wine and enjoy the results of our labour.

Transcona councillor faces new sex assault charge

Erik Pindera 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 6:40 PM CDT

A city councillor charged with sex assault earlier this year faces new sex charges in a separate incident, in a case Winnipeg’s mayor called “deeply concerning.”

Transcona Coun. Russ Wyatt, 56, was charged Monday with sexual assault and administering a noxious thing with intent to aggrieve or annoy over an October 2023 incident.

Allegations of a 2023 assault were reported to the Winnipeg Police Service in April, a month after Wyatt was charged with sex assault in relation to a 2025 incident.

In the 2023 incident, a man told police he become acquainted with Wyatt through a website in July of that year and said they met in person on more than one occasion.

A new chapter: Renamed Winnipeg Book Festival takes to The Forks this fall

Ben Sigurdson 5 minute read Yesterday at 4:22 PM CDT

Winnipeg’s long-running annual literary festival returns this fall, once again featuring a slate of authors, local and beyond, ready to engage with readers.

New this year is pretty much everything else, including a new name, executive director and team of staff — as well as a shift to a tight, condensed timeline and a move to hold all events under one roof.

The festival formerly known as Thin Air/Livres en fête is now the Winnipeg Book Festival; the event takes place Oct. 1-4 at The Forks Market, with most events offering free admission.

It’s a lot of changes for the stalwart literary festival, which was run for more than two decades by Charlene Diehl, who stepped away in late 2025.

RCMP investigating four-year-old girl’s death, two younger girls’ injuries in home on First Nation

Free Press staff 2 minute read Yesterday at 1:05 PM CDT

RCMP are investigating after a four-year-old girl died in suspicious circumstances at a home in Long Plain First Nation over the weekend.

Paramedics called Manitoba First Nations Police Service officers at about 7:45 a.m. on Sunday, asking for assistance at a home where the girl was reported as injured and in medical distress.

Officers helped paramedics with emergency treatment, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Two other girls — a one-year-old and a two-year-old — were also found injured at the home. Paramedics took both to hospital. One of the girls was in critical condition, while the other was stable. Both are now stable.

Missing pet tortoise found at Oak Hammock Marsh

Zoe Pierce 3 minute read Yesterday at 6:58 PM CDT

They were somewhat shell-shocked.

Nobody at Oak Hammock Marsh expected to find an African spurred tortoise wandering through the wetlands. Least of all one that had travelled more than 20 kilometres from home to get there.

But after being missing for two weeks, Molly, a 15-year-old pet tortoise, was discovered tromping around the marsh.

At first, staff thought there had been a case of mistaken identity after visitors started reporting sightings of the animal.
