Supplied Mateo is up for adoption through Manitoba Great Pyrenees Rescue.

Breed: Husky/Malamute cross

Size: Large

Time in care: Eight months

Mateo came into the care of Manitoba Great Pyrenees Rescue with his canine brother Harley (who has since been adopted) from a community in Saskatchewan.

They were thin and unaltered when they first arrived. Mateo was a very shy boy and would avoid people, always having Harley do the greetings. It took months for him to feel comfortable and trust people.

He stayed with Sonia, the rescue’s founder and director, for many months and now has transitioned into a foster home. He’s doing amazingly well.

Mateo enjoys companionship with other dogs, is good with cats and is thoroughly enjoying car rides now.

He’s very active and enjoys a great walk, running and has even done some bike-joring. He loves getting his belly scratched and enjoys his treats. He has also been great at the groomers.

Mateo would make a great companion and requires a secure, fenced-in yard.

Those interested in meeting Mateo can fill out an application at mgpr.weebly.com. All the dogs (and cats) in the care of Manitoba Great Pyrenees Rescue are homed in private residences until they find their forever homes. A home visit with a rescue volunteer is one of the final steps of the application process.

On eve of Folklorama, Ghana pavilion scrambles to replace stolen outfits

Chris Kitching 4 minute read Friday, Jul. 31, 2026

Volunteers from Folklorama’s Ghana pavilion scrambled to replace cultural costumes for about 40 young dancers after the outfits were stolen in Winnipeg days before the annual festival begins.

Two plastic storage bins containing the costumes, to be worn by children and teenagers, were taken from the trunk of a parked car on Banning Street, near Notre Dame Avenue in the West End, likely late Wednesday or early Thursday.

“I felt sad that this has happened. I felt completely devastated for the mother who had them in her car,” said pavilion co-ordinator Abigail Larson. “The initial feeling of sadness changed to, ‘OK, how do we make this a positive?’”

The costumes belong to the Ghana Union of Manitoba Dancers, whose members have rehearsed for months for Folklorama, which begins Sunday.

Sci-fi, fantasy bookstore to land downtown

Ben Sigurdson 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:03 AM CDT

New bookstore alert! New bookstore alert!

On Tuesday at 10 a.m., Other Places Books is slated to open its doors at 436 Graham Ave., just a few doors down from mainstay Bison Books (424 Graham Ave.).

The bookstore’s focus will be science fiction and fantasy, and, says the website (opbooks.store), “will be a friendly, inclusive, and very queer space.” Other Places is the project of Didi Chanoch, who has been chronicling the bookstore’s progress on Bluesky (@didichanoch.northsky.social).

Other Places is the third genre-specific bookstore to open in Winnipeg in recent years. Raven’s End Books (1859 Portage Ave.) opened in 2024, specializing in the horror genre, while Bound to Please (995 McPhillips St.) kicked off selling books in the romance genre in February.

Manitoba Hydro expects storm-related power outages to be repaired Saturday

Manitoba Hydro expects storm-related power outages to be repaired Saturday

Zoe Pierce 6 minute read Yesterday at 5:46 PM CDT

As Manitoba Hydro crews work to restore the last pockets of power following this week’s severe storms, some Winnipeg residents say the prolonged outages left them effectively stranded, unable to safely leave their apartments or charge essential mobility devices.

More than 30,000 Manitoba Hydro customers lost power after powerful storms swept across southern Manitoba Wednesday and Thursday, bringing down trees and power lines. Environment and Climate Change Canada recorded wind gusts of 133 km/h in Brandon, 113 km/h in Souris and 91 km/h in Winnipeg, along with more than 2,900 lightning strikes within 50 kilometres of the city.

In an update posted to social media Saturday morning, Manitoba Hydro said about 500 customers remained without power. The utility said it hoped to restore all remaining storm-related outages later in the day.

“Right now, we’re prioritizing customers that have been out the longest,” the post reads. “The final restoration work will still take time, in part because we’re dealing with small, localized outages and need to travel across a widespread area.”

Kreviazuk, in her own voice

Eva Wasney 7 minute read Friday, Jul. 31, 2026

Chantal Kreviazuk is in the midst of a very busy year.

In May, the Winnipeg-born singer-songwriter released her 11th studio album, In My Own Voice — a project that reclaims and reimagines a selection of hit songs she’s written for some of the world’s biggest artists.

The 12-track album features Kreviazuk performing ethereal covers of Pitbull’s Feel This Moment, Drake’s Over My Dead Body and Gwen Stefani’s Rich Girl, among others.

But she didn’t stop there.
