Novillero has replaced Imaginary Cities as the kickoff band for the West End Cultural Centre’s Throwback Thursdays series, which begins on Sept. 13.

The WECC’s series will see local bands reunite for a nostalgia-filled evening.

“For anyone who had planned on going to our show in this awesome new #tbt series put on by the WECC, please know that we appreciate your support and the fact that you’ve stuck with us for so long. We are sad to say that we won’t be able to play it anymore,” Imaginary Cities said in a news release.

“We’re happy to say that one of our favourite Winnipeg bands, Novillero, will be taking the reins and will definitely not disappoint. We hope you attend that first show and party hard with the Novillero crew!”

Novillero formed in 1999, released their debut effort, The Brindleford Follies, in 2001 and then separated in 2002. After a year apart, they reunited for a one-off gig and eventually released new music in 2005 to critical acclaim. The band released their final album, A Little Tradition, in 2008, and have played a handful of shows around town during the past four years.

Tickets are $20 in advance available at the WECC, ticketfly.com and both Into the Music locations.

Hard-hitting Hansen working his way back into Bombers lineup

Taylor Allen 5 minute read 7:06 PM CDT

Thiadric Hansen is a European who lives in India and plays professional football in Canada.

Forget Pitbull, if anyone deserves the moniker “Mr. Worldwide” it’s the German-born defensive lineman for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

“I love it,” Hansen told reporters after Monday’s practice at Fort Garry Lions Field. He resides in Bangalore, the capital and largest city of the southern Indian state of Karnataka, because his girlfriend works there.

“I love travelling. The year before, I lived in Thailand for the off-season so I’m just making the most out of the opportunities that I can.”

Bombers backup Brown takes reps at practice as Collaros recovers from head injury

Taylor Allen 6 minute read 6:26 PM CDT

Let’s cut to the chase: Zach Collaros is dealing with a head injury and did not participate in Monday’s practice.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers returned to work Monday for the first time since beating the Saskatchewan Roughriders 19-6 in the Banjo Bowl — a game their starting quarterback left early after his head hit the turf while attempting to force a defender out of bounds following an interception.

Given Collaros’ well-documented injury history, and the fact that he’s sidelined to start the week despite the club coming off a bye, it’s unlikely he’ll be under centre Friday when the Bombers (7-6) host the Toronto Argonauts (8-6).

“Always, more so as a friend just concerned for his health,” said right guard Patrick Neufeld on his concern level for Collaros.

Jets St. Ivany looking to solidify himself as a regular on defence

Ken Wiebe 6 minute read 5:34 PM CDT

Jack St. Ivany was on the driving range preparing for a round of golf on the morning of June 29 when he noticed he had missed a call from Kyle Dubas.

The general manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins was reaching out to inform St. Ivany that he had been moved to the Winnipeg Jets in a deal for Swedish forward David Gustafsson.

“He’s not really calling me on the regular, so I figured I was traded or that something bigger happened,” St. Ivany said before the Jets faced the Colorado Avalanche in exhibition action on Monday. “I had never really been traded. Everything unfolds quickly. It was pretty crazy. Before you know it, you’re with a new team and you turn the page.”

A series of phone calls followed, including one from Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff, welcoming him to the organization.

Elmwood–East Kildonan candidate promises to tackle ‘inefficiency’ in government

Gabrielle Piché 3 minute read Saturday, Sep. 19, 2026

The former assistant of late Elmwood–East Kildonan councillor Jason Schreyer is again running for the seat.

Chris Sweryda officially launched his campaign Saturday. He did so with the backdrop of a grocery program he runs, where food is sold near-cost out of St. Gerard School’s gym.

Rows of cereal, pasta sauce and chips filled tables ahead of the program’s afternoon opening. Sweryda created the pop-up with Schreyer months ahead of the former councillor’s April 2025 death.

The program sees roughly 500 people each day it’s open (which is every other week on Saturday), Sweryda said.
