Good evening. Here’s a look at what our newsroom has been working on today:
“Manitoba is done being a ‘have-not’ province,” Premier Heather Stefanson said Friday at a press conference announcing an “energy roadmap” that calls for a massive expansion of power generation, conservation and storage which the provincial government says will be paid for by green industries that want to move here.
Usually the Winnipeg Parking Authority hands out tickets to motorists who park in bike lanes, but it’s ramped up monitoring and offending vehicles are now being towed due to “an increase in non-compliance.”
A first-of-its-kind, 10-acre greenhouse in Dauphin, Man., aims to produce 10 million pounds of tomatoes every 47 weeks for stores in Winnipeg, Thunder Bay, Regina, Saskatoon, Calgary and Edmonton.
And: Manitoba filmmaker Catherine Dulude’s latest short documentary screens this weekend at the Gimli International Film Festival. It follows a woman with muscular dystrophy confronting body-image issues as she prepares for a boudoir photo shoot; accessibility is front and centre.
