Air Canada’s inflight EnRoute Magazine released the long list of national contenders for its annual best new restaurant award, and Winnipeg’s Máquè was on it.

The 30-seat, Asian-inspired spot in a former nail salon at Stafford Street and Dorchester Avenue is the third Winnipeg restaurant opened by chef Scott Bagshaw, and the second of which to draw attention from the magazine; last year, his River Heights eatery Enoteca was ranked No. 9 in the country. Bagshaw also owns Deseo Bistro on Osborne Street.

Máquè received a four-star review from the Free Press in March.

Serious crash at West Kildonan intersection known for collisions

Nicole Buffie 3 minute read Sunday, Sep. 20, 2026

Residents in West Kildonan say an intersection that was the site of a serious car crash Sunday morning is notoriously dangerous.

Rob Lick heard a loud bang around 7 a.m. and rushed out of his home on Leila to see what the commotion was. He saw two crushed SUVs, a white and black one, in the intersection. Police vehicles arrived shortly after.

“It sounded like when (garbage trucks) drop a big dumpster,” he said. “I heard somebody crying or wailing, they were standing by the vehicle so I don’t know who exactly it was or if someone was injured.”

The sound of sirens followed shortly after when emergency crews came to the scene. The intersection was immediately blocked off.

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

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

Taylor Allen 5 minute read Yesterday at 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.

Councillor facing sex charges running for re-election

Morgan Modjeski 2 minute read Yesterday at 7:47 PM CDT

A Winnipeg city councillor who faces sexual assault charges says he is running for re-election.

A day before Tuesday’s deadline, Russ Wyatt registered to run in the Transcona ward where he has served five terms and to which he was first elected in 2002.

“After much reflection, I have decided to stand for re-election in the Winnipeg municipal election,” Wyatt said in a statement Monday.

“Time and time again, I have stood up to the powers that be, and they would love to get rid of me. But I see the mess this city is in today, with the disastrous new bus routes, ever rising water bills, developer largesse, and poverty in our streets,” he said.

Labour leaders, councillors urge Wyatt to reconsider re-election bid while facing sexual assault charges

Malak Abas 3 minute read 3:39 PM CDT

City councillors and labour leaders called on incumbent Transcona councillor Russ Wyatt to reconsider his decision to seek re-election while facing sexual assault charges.

A day after Wyatt announced he would be running again, the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 500 and the Winnipeg Labour Council, joined by councillors Cindy Gilroy (Daniel McIntyre) and Evan Duncan (Charleswood-Tuxedo-Westwood), told reporters Wyatt would not be able to serve Transcona while fighting multiple sexual assault charges in court and should step aside.

“I am not declaring him guilty of anything, the courts will decide that, and his lawyer says that he is innocent. I’m stating a plain fact about capacity. Every hour spent on legal defence is an hour not spent on Transcona,” CUPE 500 President Patrick Troughton said at city hall Tuesday afternoon.

Wyatt filed his registration papers to run for councillor on Monday, one day before the nomination deadline.

Rudick banks win, Bisons nab first team victory in seven years

Joshua Frey-Sam 5 minute read 2:49 PM CDT

Jack Rudick knew what it meant personally. He was surprised to find out how significant his breakthrough victory was for his program.

Earlier this month, the fourth-year Manitoba Bisons golfer strung together 36 holes of excellent play to win by four strokes over teammate Rory Neill at the Augsburg Fall Invitational at Majestic Oaks Golf Club in Ham Lake, Minn.

Rudick not only earned the individual victory, but his 5-under-par finish also helped the Bisons to their first team victory in seven years. With Neill (1-under), Terence Rafferty (6-over) and Ethan Portey’s (9-over) cumulative scores, Manitoba combined for a dominant 12-stroke victory.

For Rudick, it was a long-awaited breakout as a university player.

Hellebuyck standoff caused by… Nathan MacKinnon?

Mike McIntyre 6 minute read Friday, Sep. 18, 2026

Looking for someone to blame in the Connor Hellebuyck fiasco and cast as public enemy No. 1? How about long-time Winnipeg Jets nemesis Nathan MacKinnon?

Allow us to explain as we fire up the time machine and head back to February in Italy.

Oh, what could have been if MacKinnon had been able to score on what appeared to be an open net late in the third period of the men’s gold medal game with Hellebuyck down and seemingly out of position.

Instead, the star forward fired wide, keeping the score deadlocked at 1-1 as the clock ticked down on regulation.
