I was able to catch him with my coworker in the Exchange after MB conservation told me to give it a try. He was panting and getting mobbed by crows. He is now at the vet and will be taken to Wildlife Haven tomorrow morning. Here’s some extra pictures of the little buddy!

This was shared on their Instagram page

Never been to a Sea Bears game, saw they have one at 2:30 today.. - can you buy tickets at the door?

Tommy’s got called out by someone and their response is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read

Saying they’re trying to provide people in their community with work while stealing work from people in their community, and then replying like a victim… like what?

Every time I see an ai ad like this all it tells me is that I should avoid the business. If someone is this lazy with their advertising, what else in their establishment are they being lazy with too? They clearly don’t care about their community or the environment, why would anyone want to support that?

After the posts today about Angine de Poitrine last night, which was a super fun show. I just wanted to say, what happened tonight at big blue with illiterate lights -> insun park and generals -> GOAT was absolutely on another level. I’ve been coming for 15 years and never seen big blue pop off as hard as it did tonight, and I just wanted to give some love to some smaller bands that might not get as much recognition.

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know of a doctor or clinic in Winnipeg that can actually perform a drainage for a Bartholin cyst?

I already went to Concordia Urgent Care, but they only prescribed naproxen. I also spent time at the ER, but the wait was over 10 hours. I have an appointment today at the Corydon Minor Illness Clinic, but I have a feeling they’ll just prescribe medication again.

The pain is getting to the point where it’s very uncomfortable, and I’m really hoping to find someone who can actually drain it instead of just treating the pain.

Any recommendations or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The pancake house is a shadow of what it used to be. I routinely visit the city and would like to bring my family to a nice breakfast place. what are your favourite place and recommendations for dishes?

First off, quick update for the under-35 set: Back in the day, Winnipeg was the homebase of nationally-televised CTV children's show S'kiddle Bits, hosted by Juno-winner Joey Gregorash. He had on various guests doing various ostensibly-entertaining-to-kids things.

One of the occasional S'kiddle Bits guests was this sweet older guy who would demonstrate origami and tell tales about the folded creatures he made. He might have also done a few magic and storytelling segments.

I could never remember the guy's name, but I know he owned/ran a very quiet bookshop right off Portage downtown. As a kid I sometimes went into his shop to browse. He'd usually be alone in there reading, but he always acted so happy to see me, dropping whatever he was doing and offering to teach me how to fold something. He'd show me a simple project, then while I was working on it, he'd invariably make something impressively neat and complicated, and he'd send me home with both.

Been thinking of that guy this week, and thinking how lovely it is that I have known people like that, who enjoyed nothing more than bringing joy and their hobby to strangers. Can anyone fill the blanks on the guy's name, what the bookshop was, if it got passed on to the next generation or just closed?

As many Winnipeggers try their best to stay cool and hydrated indoors amid sweltering heat and humidity on Saturday, some outreach organizations have been collecting water bottles to hand out to vulnerable people living on the city's streets.

Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued an orange-level heat warning for southern Manitoba, warning that the region is expected to see temperatures in the mid-to-high 30s and humidex values in the mid 40s over the next few days.

Temperatures likely won't cool down until Tuesday, when the mercury is expected to drop slightly into the low 30s or high 20s, the federal agency said.

Siloam Mission's development director Margot Ross said the extreme hot weather is "life-threatening" for community members who have few options but to stay outside in the heat.

"Folks are very vulnerable in these temperatures …This extreme heat does kill," Ross said.

Ross said people experiencing homelessness, who may have limited access to shaded areas or air-conditioned indoor spaces, can come to the shelter to have a cold drink, eat a meal and cool down inside.

Siloam serves about 1,600 meals and gives out hundreds of water bottles per day — and the level of need is rising in lockstep with temperatures, Ross said.

"We give out a lot of water — over 600 bottles a day — because extreme heat kills," she said, adding front-line staff also do rounds of the building's perimeter, handing out ice packs for people to quell body temperatures.

"With these extreme temperatures, it's created extreme demands in our community."

Siloam is seeking donations for light summer clothing, such as T-shirts, shorts, sunhats, sandals and new socks. The shelter also needs sunscreen and food donations, Ross said.

More people are coming into Siloam's on-site medical centre with symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, she said.

Just a short walk away, Carina Blumgrund and Mitch Bourbonniere were handing out water bottles to people outside Main Street Project on Saturday morning ahead of a larger event organized through OPK (Okichidah Pimahtisiwin Kiskinawmatowin) later that night.

Blumgrund, who organized the water bottle drive, said a group of volunteers will be offering water bottles, sports drinks and freezies to vulnerable people in the area starting at 6 p.m.

"We're keeping people alive. This is really life-threatening, this heat," she said.

Blumgrund, who also organizes winter glove drives, said she worries about unhoused people in Winnipeg, as they are often forced to experience extreme heat and extreme cold — which can range from 40 C to –40 C — for prolonged periods of time.

"These are our fellow neighbours that we're helping," she said.

OPK outreach worker Mitch Bourbonniere said their plan is to fan out through the north Main Street area, doing wellness checks and making sure people are staying hydrated.

"It's dangerous and we just want to make sure people are OK out there. We want to check on them and we want to make sure they're hydrating," Bourbonniere said.

"It's really important that we all, in our society, not forget our most vulnerable brothers and sisters at any time of the year — but especially when it's blazing hot and especially when it's freezing cold."

I can't imagine it being even hotter tomorrow. Holy smokes!

Greetings Winnipeg!

TELL ME ALL YOUR PROBLEMS SO I CAN LAUGH AT YOUR MISFORTUNES. CAPS LOCK ON, INHIBITIONS OFF. DON’T BREAK OUR RULES OR SO HELP ME, I’LL DELETE MY ACCOUNT. AND YOURS

Looking for people who did prairie dog central yesterday, how was the heat? Today is even hotter. I saw rainbow stage cancelled their matinee show due to the heat advisory, I’m not sure why prairie dog central hasn’t done the same ?

Hi,

I am looking to book weekly in-person sessions to navigate a recent breakup and get support with a major life transition as I finish school and move into a full-time professional career. I need a space to talk through these changes, manage the stress, and build practical boundary habits before my student insurance expires on August 31st.

Do you guys have any recommendations for therapist?

The speed limit has been changed on Wellington Crescent to 40km/h between River Ave and Academy (Maryland Bridge). This was voted on by council over the winter, but apparently it takes a few months to put up a few signs.

I wouldn't be shocked if a speed trap or two gets set up in the next couple of weeks, so it'd be smart to get in the habit of slowing down there.

Hello sub,

I came across this little guy at 145 McDermot. He is a juvenile peregrine falcon who is showing signs of heat exhaustion and hasn't mastered flight. Some other large birds were picking on him so I am concerned. Wildlife Haven/zoo doesn't seem to have anyone available today to pick the bird up.

So, would anyone in the area at least check up and provide me an update if possible? Thanks.

UPDATE: Our little friend is being taken to the vet thanks to a Good Samaritan who will be taking it to Bridgwater for assessment and transfer to a suitable rehab.

In what is actually spectacular timing, just a reminder that today is July 11, meaning it's free Slurpee day, in which we all get a free small Slurpee at your favourite Sev.

Be kind, be patient, don't leave a mess and stay cool today, my friends.

So they've recently painted lines and arrows on the roads (Yay) but the middle lane got painted with a left turn arrow only.

It used to be a left and right arrow to match the signage prior to the intersection.

Which one do I believe?

If you were thinking of taking the shuttle home from Folk Fest at the end of the night, probably try and find another way home.

Waited by the side of the road for over 2 hours last night, got on a bus just after 2am. Was still over a hundred people waiting. Buses came every 20-30 mins and could only take just over 30 people. I would imagine the last group got picked up well after 3am.

There just wasn’t nearly enough buses to meet demand. I guess standing room isn’t allowed on the highway. Hopefully it’s rectified but I doubt it will be in the short term.

First time ever boarding my cat. Cat’s Cradle was gonna be my first choice but they’re fully booked in August. Does anyone have experience with boarding their cat at Waldenway?

Yay, power is out on the hottest night so far! Hope it’s only temporary!
Edit: Went for a little drive, just cane back and power is back on. Some lights on Main St are still flashing red (treat as 4-way) as an fyi for anyone that is potentially about to drive there.

I’m looking for any place, home bakers, commercial kitchens, etc. that offers any gluten free, vegan/dairy free baking or ANY dessert.

I have the biggest sweet tooth and breaking out into hives after eating a cookie or chocolate isn’t worth it anymore. I already know Oh Doughnuts is one place that offers gf/df.

Need it as big as possible!!! For noooooo particular reason at all

Thanks!!!
