UPDATE: Gromit went home!! His dog sitter has learned the hard way that this handsome devil can open the front gate. Thank you to Lynn the poll worker for making this reunion possible!

Found today in a parking lot near James Ave and Waterfront in the East Exchange. Most orange cats are male so he's likely a male, and neutered due to having the ear tattoo. I have contacted Humane Society to look up the tattoo number but they may take a while to respond so I'm posting here. I took him to a vet and he is not microchipped.

If this cat belongs to you, or you have any ideas, please message me here!

Question: any book burners hiding in the midst of the River East/Transcona candidates? All of their bios are vague on everything. Obviously certain personal views won’t be openly shared, but needing to not move the way of the states is so important. Any thoughts on the matter?

I need to send my ps5 to somebody to get my ps5 hdmi fixed and I would pay for all shipping repair and convenient cost for you, thank you I need my ps5 fixed i have 2 boys who loves playing with it.

Today is municipal election day in most of Manitoba.

Starting at 8 a.m., eligible voters can cast ballots for the offices of mayor (or reeve, as the head of council is known in many rural municipalities), councillor and school trustee in most of the province's 137 municipalities.

A general municipal election happens every four years and always on the third Wednesday in October. The only exceptions are in Winnipeg Beach, Dunnottar and Victoria Beach, where elections were held July 24.

Voting locations are open until 8 p.m., but don’t worry if you're still waiting to vote at the deadline. As long as you're in line, you'll be able to mark your choices.

The City of Winnipeg says the busiest times are typically right when the locations open and then again from 3 p.m. until close.

If you have the option, consider voting during the quieter period between 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., when the process may be a little quicker, the city says.

Winnipeg voters must be Canadian citizens, at least 18 years old on Oct. 28 and Winnipeg residents or property owners for at least six months (since April 28), the city says.

Results for all of Manitoba will be updated on the 2026 Manitoba municipal elections website shortly after polls close at 8 p.m., as they are received from voting locations. CBC Manitoba will also have coverage of the election online and on radio and television.

More choice

More Manitobans are getting a choice of who leads their communities than in 2022.

There are fewer acclamations compared to four years ago, the Association of Manitoba Municipalities said. Uncontested races are down to 30 per cent from 37 per cent in 2022.

At the same time, the number of women candidates has increased to 340 this year from 289 in the previous election, the association said.

Incumbent mayors in several Manitoba communities, however, were acclaimed after no challengers registered to run. Those include Portage la Prairie, Winkler and Niverville.

Some places, like the Municipality of Cartwright-Roblin and the Rural Municipality of Argyle, saw their entire slate of council candidates acclaimed.

Rules about eligibility to vote in municipal and school board elections can by found on the provincial government website. This includes eligibility for non-resident voters in municipal elections.

For Winnipeggers, if you're not sure which ward you live in, you can check out a series of ward maps on the City of Winnipeg website. There's a set of school division ward boundary maps too.

Voters are required to provide proof of their name and current address by showing identification. A list of accepted ID is available on the city's website.

Don't know where to vote? The city's website has an address look up tool to help you find voting locations in your area.

The owners of Manitoba’s Port of Churchill say they’re working with Dubai-based DP World Inc. to potentially boost traffic at the arctic port.

Indigenous-owned Arctic Gateway Group says the memorandum of understanding it has signed with DP World focuses on port operations and possibly creating a transportation corridor linking Manitoba to global markets.

The supply chain memorandum also includes the CentrePort Canada inland shipping hub based beside the Winnipeg airport, as well as the Hudson Bay Railway that links it to the Port of Churchill.

No dollar investment commitments were announced with the memorandum.

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew has championed a Port of Churchill expansion, which would include a liquefied natural gas export terminal that could cost more than $70 billion to build.

The port has done little traffic in recent years, but it has seen renewed interest as Canada looks to diversify trade routes and thinning sea ice expands the potential shipping season.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 26, 2026.

I read that Quebec consumers are exempt from Rogers 1.6% charge to pay their bills by credit card. To be clear I don't do that but many do.

Its time that the Manitoba government looked to enact a consumer protection act like Quebec's.

Hey everyone! We just moved to Winnipeg from a small city in Saskatchewan for work, and we’re excited to get to know the city.
What do you usually do on weekends or days off here? We’d love recommendations for places to explore, things to do, restaurants to try, or anything you think someone new to Winnipeg should definitely check out. With winter coming up, indoor activities and winter favourites would be great too.
We’re also trying to get familiar with the different neighbourhoods. Which areas are worth exploring, and what are they known for—food, shopping, walking around, nightlife, etc.? Basically, what areas should a newcomer know about?
Looking forward to exploring a bigger city. Thanks in advance!

My personal pick is Noah Redden

Some amazing work being done by local residents to add trees in our community.

Hey everyone!

Some friends of mine started Kiln and Tell, a Manitoba-based project where they interview well-known Manitobans to get to know the real person behind the name. They’ve never done anything like this before (so gentle feedback is encouraged!), and it’s women- and Indigenous-owned and led.

Thought I’d share it here! Go check them out if you get a chance. I know they’d really appreciate the support!

I’m currently in a very rough situation; where I’ve had to flee my home due to domestic violence. I have a cat I need to hand over to temporary fostering. Until I can get back on my feet. This isn’t a permanent surrender. (I’d rather keep in touch with him if possible while fleeing my situation. Because I’m so attached to my little buddy and he only does well in my care 80% of the time.)

Downside, all the resources I’ve been given will either not take him due to his age. (He’s a 5-year old adult cat. He’s fixed, up to date on all his vaccines, and trained to graze his food/litter trained. He’s very low maintenance.) Or will not take him due to situation I’m feeling.

Does anyone in Winnipeg know pet services that might help me in this situation? He’s a pet I love dearly and surrendering him permanently would break my heart more than it already is, but it seems this is the only solution…

Glen Murray is endorsing Winnipeg mayoral candidate Noah Redden in Wednesday’s civic election, a news release issued by Redden’s camp says.

Murray — who was the city’s mayor from 1998 to 2004 and came second in the 2022 mayoral race, narrowly losing to Scott Gillingham — endorsed the progressive 27-year-old on Tuesday morning, a day before voters go to the polls.

“While other candidates are busy tearing each other down, Noah Redden is focused on building our city up,” Murray said in a news release distributed by Redden’s team. “At a time when Winnipeg desperately needs fresh thinking, practical solutions and a renewed sense of possibility, Noah stands out as a candidate who understands how great cities work — and, more importantly, how to make them work better for everyone.”

Murray called Redden’s platform a “thoughtful and pragmatic plan” to restore city neighbourhoods, boost the economy and modernize infrastructure.

“Noah understands something fundamental: a city’s greatest asset isn’t its roads, buildings or balance sheet,” Murray said in the release. “It’s its people, its neighbourhoods and the extraordinary things they can accomplish together.”

Once a low-polling candidate, Redden is now in third place with 14 per cent support, tied with candidate Mike Vogiatzakis, an Abacus Data survey released Friday shows.

Incumbent Gillingham remains in the lead with the support of 36 per cent of decided voters — 19 percentage points lower than a September survey conducted by Abacus for the Free Press.

The new data placed former city councillor and Progressive Conservative cabinet minister Kevin Klein in second place with 19 per cent support — a drop of four percentage points since September.

The latest poll gave Redden, a software developer who rents in Osborne Village, the biggest jump (10 percentage points).

Redden, who’s run from the left of centre, has operated a grassroots campaign with a large focus on social media and few traditional media announcements.

Murray was deemed the front-runner in the 2022 mayoral race until former workplace allegations surfaced against him, which some political experts said hurt his campaign. He lost to Gillingham by a narrow margin.

Hello, can anyone recommend a physio with experience working with hEDS? Bonus points if they're within a half hour bus ride of downtown. TIA 🙂

Halloween is coming up really fast and I'm pretty excited. I've loved Halloween for all my life and unfortunately, I'm an adult so it'd be pretty socially unacceptable for me to go door-to-door trick-or-treating alongside actual children.

I had an idea, maybe not a good one, but still an idea. I wanted to do something for the parents, adults, unhoused individuals, college students, and older teens of Winnipeg. The plan is to prepare some treat baggies, full sized candy bars, kind notes or messages, and maybe some hand warmers. Anything that money could buy, give out the goodstuff, y'know? Step two would involve me running around in my lovely-dovely costume handing the treats out to folks or going door-to-door roughly in the Central St. Boniface and St. Mary's Rd area.

Is this a yay or nay idea? If so, do you have any recommendations on what I should hand out or anything in my big genius plan to adjust? I just really love Halloween and want to do something more unique and spectacular than the regular old handing out candy.

Thanks a bunch, Winnipeg!!!!

^{p.s. if you manage to run into me, correctly identify me, and ask if i'm that smelly redditor handing stuff out, i'd love to slip you extra candy <3}

edit: please suggest anything to hand out pretty please and thank you with a cherry on top!!!

I am closer to 60 vs 55 in years. I was a teenager during the dynasty in Edmonton where I have spent the majority of my life. The last time I was in Winnipeg was 1990. I remember feeling snobbish over the lack of skyscrapers and all the old buildings. I carried this prejudice until yesterday. I love the way your downtown looks. I noticed alot of brutlism architecture, like Edmonton. All the beautiful older buildings gave me such a sense of nostalgia that Edmonton Is honestly missing. It was build build build in Edmonton with no thought to preserving some beautiful buildings. I loved investigating the old buildings and how neat and well built everything was. Edmonton had pop. 500 000 when I got there. It's like 1.6 greater area now. And a mess in many ways. The traffic is no joke now it takes forever if you have to go downtown or home after work. On my commute which included 2 busses and a train cost me 3 and a half hours in valuable time. Also the terrible toll the drugs are taking and there are many people on the street and the transit.

So I moved to a small town in Eastern Saskatchewan and luckily I had to go to Winnipeg.

So I would like to apologize for rating your city all those years ago. You have a beautiful city, a cool city and everyone I interacted with was very nice.

Our cat went outside yesterday morning and has not returned. Located near the school in South Pointe area. We put out some food and dropped off missing posters to neighbors surrounding us. Also called the humane society (left a message) to report him missing but no response from them. He is microchipped. Appreciate if anyone has any sightings to report, as he isn’t normally out for more than an hour.
Thank you!

Wihuri and Saskatchewan. Red Nissan KZE 876, came from the military base. Would you report this? To who? WPS or military police?

Also, PAY THE FUCK ATTENTION.
