Post-secondary leaders to discuss cross-campus collaborations

Maggie Macintosh 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

The artificial intelligence boom is inducing panic about the makeup of Manitoba’s future workforce and influencing new post-secondary application trends.

What remains a constant, says the economist who oversees the University of Manitoba, is the often-overlooked value of a liberal arts degree.

“I’ve always believed in it being a foundation for lifelong learning,” said Michael Benarroch, president and vice-chancellor of the largest post-secondary institute in the province.

“Even more so, in a world of AI, where AI is going to do certain tasks, I think humanities education and social sciences education is going to become even more important.”

Happily guiding others through city’s art world

AV Kitching 8 minute read Yesterday at 6:00 AM CDT

The last Saturday in September is fast approaching and Ed Benjamin, 69, is gearing up for his regular volunteer stint at Nuit Blanche.

While he hasn’t grabbed this year’s T-shirt yet — he’ll only be able to pick it up during Friday’s orientation — he’s more than prepared for his 5:30-9:30 p.m. shift on Sept. 26.

This will be Benjamin’s sixth year volunteering at the annual contemporary art festival, now in its 16th year.

“I think it’s the best night of the year in Winnipeg, just a fantastic night. And having done it once, I just want to keep going back. It’s very intense but it’s not a significant commitment, it’s just one night, so it’s easy to commit to it,” he says.

Power outages expected as giant tanks moved

Manitoba Hydro customers in some communities may be temporarily without power while eight giant storage tanks are transported across Manitoba by truck between Tuesday and Thursday.

Outages may affect areas primarily along highways 23 and 59, Hydro said.

Crews will either lift or temporarily disconnect power lines at about 220 locations along the roughly 430-kilometre route from the Manitoba-Saskatchewan boundary and the Tolstoi border crossing into Minnesota. Each outage is expected to last about 1 ½ hours.

Hydro said the empty storage tanks, manufactured in Alberta, are being moved so they can be shipped overseas. Each tank is about the height of a two-storey building.

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.
