TORONTO – Singer Dallas Green — who performs under the name City and Colour — has reversed his decision to perform at next month’s Juno Awards in Winnipeg.

In a statement, the musician says that since he has not been nominated this year, he’d prefer to see a “new nominee be afforded the opportunity to perform on the show.”

The Junos announced earlier this week that City and Colour would play at the March 30 show, along with Robin Thicke and Selena Ryder.

Green says he’s honoured by the recognition he has received from the Junos over the years and would be back at Winnipeg’s MTS Centre in May as part of a cross-Canada tour.

Arcade Fire has a leading six Juno nominations, while Ryder and Michael Buble have five apiece.

The host has yet to be announced.

Salvation Army calls on Winnipeggers to donate merchandise as sales soar

Kelly-Anne Riess 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

The Salvation Army is taking donated merchandise from other regions to stock its Winnipeg thrift stores as increasing sales outpace local donations.

Retail activity at the charity’s eight Winnipeg locations grew more than 10 per cent year over year during several months, from January through April, and again in June.

Although local donations remain strong, they haven’t kept pace with demand, prompting the organization to supplement inventory with merchandise from elsewhere.

Ted Troughton, managing director of the Salvation Army’s thrift store operations, said rising living costs are bringing in new customers.

Waters remain murky in uncharted Hellebuyck trade request territory

ST. LOUIS — The thing about being in uncharted waters is that the answer to the next question isn’t always readily apparent either above or below the surface.

Winnipeg Jets head coach Scott Arniel has been doing his best to ensure the upcoming two-game road trip against Central Division opponents doesn’t include a three-ring circus. But with news coming over the weekend that the suspension for goalie Connor Hellebuyck is set to expire on Friday, the club has to prepare for the next step in that process.

The problem, as Arniel conceded during his session on Monday afternoon before the team departed for Missouri, is that some of the hypotheticals need to be eliminated from the equation before the proper response can be determined.

“When it comes to Helly’s scenario, honestly I don’t really have a lot of information,” said Arniel. “I know everybody knows (about) Friday. That’s all we know.”
