A city landmark and iconic restaurant location will be opening its doors once again after a four-year hiatus.

Restaurateur Noel Bernier, who owns Hermanos Steakhouse and Wine Bar and Corrientes Argentine Pizzeria, will be finalizing negotiations to reopen the revolving restaurant at the Fort Garry Place later this month. The restaurant is set to open in October 2013.

“It’s just really exciting. It’s a blessing to be able to reopen this space to the city,” Bernier said.

Prairie 360 will take on a local, Manitoba-grown food concept, he said, offering a taste of the best Manitoba has to offer.

Ace Burpee and Chrissy Troy of Virgin 103 will be participating in a web-based series with the executive chef of Prairie 360 this summer to cultivate culinary inspiration for the restaurant.

“They’ll go to farms, Lake Winnipeg fishing, just really explore the root of what is our food and what kind of food do we have in Manitoba,” he said.

The space has been closed since 2008. It has previously been home to the Royal Crown Revolving Restaurant, operated by the Gill Family Trust.

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I just got a funny birthday card and a single pink rose delivered to me at work from a boyfriend who broke up with me last spring because I’d gotten too serious (in his opinion). I cried for days back then. He ignored his phone.

I don’t know how to respond to him now. Do you think he’s really had a change of heart, or has he just not gotten lucky for a long time and thought I might be open to hooking up on my birthday?

Retiree sues neighbour over alleged dog attack

Scott Billeck 2 minute read Yesterday at 2:00 AM CDT

A Winnipeg man is suing his neighbour over an alleged dog attack he says occurred while he was helping him with a lawnmower.

Arthur Cabel, a retiree who lives on Selkirk Avenue, is seeking unspecified damages from neighbour Saisamone Saegone, according to a statement of claim filed in the Manitoba Court of King’s Bench last week.

Cabel claims he went to Saegone’s home in the afternoon on Sept. 23, 2024, to help him with his lawnmower.

According to the lawsuit, Saegone’s large dog, initially in a fenced backyard, escaped, approaching Cabel and “mauling, attacking and biting him.”

Hydro reports $446-M loss in 2025-26, points to fourth drought year in past five

Scott Billeck 3 minute read Yesterday at 6:38 PM CDT

Manitoba Hydro posted a $446-million loss in 2025-26, as drought conditions slashed hydroelectric generation, forcing the Crown corporation to buy more power while leaving it with less electricity to sell outside the province.

The loss was $666 million worse than the $220-million profit Hydro had budgeted. The utility posted a $63-million loss the previous year, according to the utility’s annual report released Tuesday.

Hydro said the 2025-26 fiscal year, which ended on March 31, marked its fourth low-water year in the past five years, among the worst stretches of water-flow conditions in its recorded history.

Hydroelectric generation fell 23 per cent to 24 billion kilowatt-hours from 31 billion the previous year, leaving Hydro a net importer of electricity.
