Work keeps Bombers QB from attending Kelce-Swift wedding

HAMILTON — You would think Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift would’ve looked at the Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ schedule before locking in a date for their wedding.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end and the global music icon tied the knot Friday at New York’s Madison Square Garden in front of a star-studded guest list.

Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros — who was teammates with Kelce during their time at the University of Cincinnati — was invited but had to miss the occasion to prepare for Sunday’s road clash against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (6 p.m. CT).

“I told him that! I talked to him the other day,” said Collaros shortly after arriving in Hamilton on Saturday. “They were taking a walk together and I’m like ‘You guys could’ve taken a look at the damn schedule.’ But yeah, it is what it is.”

Animal Justice wants lawsuit by Manitoba farmer tossed out

Erik Pindera 3 minute read 6:00 AM CDT

Animal Justice says a defamation lawsuit filed against it by a Swan River farmer who exports horses to Japan has no merit and should be tossed out of court.

Carolyle Farms and its owner, Lyle Lumax, filed the lawsuit in the Court of King’s Bench last month, naming Animal Justice and its executive director, Camille Labchuk, as defendants.

The farmer alleges Labchuk made a defamatory comment in a video posted to social media platforms in February.

Animal Justice argues its director’s comment was factual.

Brandon declares local state of emergency

4 minute read Saturday, Jul. 4, 2026

BRANDON -- The City of Brandon has declared a state of local emergency as officials prepare for forecasted flooding along the Assiniboine and Shellmouth river basins and continued increases in river levels.

The council voted unanimously during a special meeting Saturday evening to support the recommendation of the city’s Emergency Manager, Tobin Praznik, and Director of Engineering, Kyle Winters, following updated provincial flood forecasts showing continued increases in expected river levels.

The city's mayor, Jeff Fawcett, said the move is a proactive measure to protect residents, critical infrastructure and property.

“The declaration should not alarm residents … it is intended to ensure the city is prepared well before the river reaches its expected peak around July 12,” he told the Sun.

Police searching for suspect seen armed with submachine-style gun

2 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 12:35 PM CDT

Winnipeg police are asking for the public's help as they try to find a man who was seen with a submachine gun-style weapon at a Henderson Highway hotel Saturday night.

A suspect has not yet been located, the police service stated in a news release Sunday. The man allegedly sprayed bear spray inside the Curtis Gordon Hotel (1011 Henderson Hwy.) and brandished the gun just before midnight Saturday. A witness captured video of the man walking across the hotel parking lot while armed with the weapon. The video was circulated on social media, where a post compared the weapon to an "uzi" submachine gun. Police located an airgun at the scene.

"Officers flooded the area in search of the suspect but he was not located. During the search, police recovered a CO2-powered gun that matched the appearance of the weapon seen in the video. However, investigators cannot confirm at this time whether the recovered gun is the same weapon shown in the footage. Until proven otherwise, police are treating the incident as involving a real firearm," the WPS news release stated.

The suspect is described as a tall, thin man with a light complexion. He was carrying a black backpack and was wearing a grey sweater, beige pants and a black baseball cap with white lettering.

Businesses report ongoing struggle amid reduced walk-by traffic 1 year into Graham Avenue transit corridor rework

Gabrielle Piché 6 minute read Saturday, Jul. 4, 2026

Layoffs, squeezed profits, reduced hours and a downsizing have plagued Graham Avenue businesses in the year since buses were removed from the former Winnipeg Transit strip.

A convenience store along the road doubled its footprint two years ago. Now, it’s operating in half the space: a wall was built in the middle of the shop last month, creating room for a new tenant.

Across the street, bong seller Aluminum Sound has laid off two staff. It’s one of at least two companies to lessen its employee count following the Transit overhaul.

“You could fire a cannon down Graham Avenue a lot of the time and not have to worry about any casualties,” said Aimee Peake, owner of Bison Books.
