MIKAELA MACKENZIE / FREE PRESS Winnipeg Blue Bombers running back Brady Oliveira (20) said he understands his head coach’s decision to not go for a potential two-point walk-off convert in Sunday’s Labour Day Classic. If the Blue and Gold win Saturday’s Banjo Bowl, the season series will be decided by point differential.

Missed opportunity could come back to bite Bombers

Taylor Allen 7 minute read Wednesday, Sep. 9, 2026

Three yards.

That’s all the Winnipeg Blue Bombers needed to leave Sunday’s Labour Day Classic in Regina with a victory.

But instead of attempting a two-point conversion for the win, head coach Mike O’Shea played it safe. He trotted out kicker Sergio Castillo for an extra point to force overtime after rookie receiver Dorian Singer caught a five-yard touchdown with zero seconds left on the clock.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders (8-4) dusted themselves off and hit pay dirt in extra time to escape with a 32-26 win in front of a record crowd of 34,352 — the most since the new Mosaic Stadium opened in 2017.

“When was the last day you threw nothing away?”

It’s a question Karrie Blackburn likes to ask people to encourage thought and awareness about how we view waste.

As Winnipeg celebrates one year of success with community food waste drop-off sites, Blackburn — sales and customer service lead with Compost Winnipeg — remains passionate about all things related to composting and saving landfills from more methane-producing waste.

“We are incredibly proud of our community for embracing the food waste drop-off program,” she said. “This program diverts waste, reduces greenhouse gas emissions and fosters a culture of sustainability in our city. The results speak for themselves.”

NEW DELHI (AP) — Scores of dead bodies have been found floating down the Ganges River in eastern India as the country battles a ferocious surge in coronavirus infections. Authorities said Tuesday they haven't yet determined the cause of death.

Health officials working through the night Monday retrieved 71 bodies, officials in Bihar state said.

Images on social media of the bodies floating in the river prompted outrage and speculation that they died from COVID-19. Authorities performed post mortems on Tuesday but said they could not confirm the cause of death due to the decomposition of the bodies.

More corpses were found floating in the river on Tuesday, washing up in Ghazipur district in neighboring Uttar Pradesh state. Police and villagers were at the site, about 50 kilometers (30 miles) from Monday’s incident.

International Peace Garden 9/11 remembrance ‘especially meaningful’

Alex Lambert 6 minute read 5:05 PM CDT

INTERNATIONAL PEACE GARDEN — Hundreds of people on the American side of the International Peace Garden, which straddles the Manitoba-North Dakota border, bowed their heads and observed a moment of silence Friday on the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Firefighters, politicians, military members and aviation officials were part of the ceremony at the garden, held to remember and honour the nearly 3,000 people who died and the heroic acts of first responders.

“Twenty-five years have passed, but the significance of that day has not diminished,” said Dave Schellenberg, the vice-chair of the Manitoba Association of Fire Chiefs.

On Sept. 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked four planes and flew two of them into the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers in New York City and a third one into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., while a fourth one that was targeted to hit the White House crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. The attacks were orchestrated by al-Qaida.

Pallister’s education policies crash the party

The University of Manitoba graduated 510 Indigenous students on Saturday, the largest cohort in its history.

Comparatively, in 2011 — the year I started teaching at the U of M — there were 158.

That’s more than three times as many and one of the highest numbers in North America (University of Saskatchewan hasn’t released this year's numbers yet but it is often slightly higher than the U of M).

This means we will have more Indigenous professionals entering the workforce than ever before, and its a number that has been increasing every year for a decade.

Vote for your local trustees

John R. Wiens 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:00 AM CDT

It’s the start of a new school year, but not just any school year. It’s also school board election year.

Nominations are public knowledge and close on Sept. 22 and, on Oct. 28, new or continuing trustees will be elected, re-elected or acclaimed. For the next four years the people chosen will make many of the crucial decisions that affect our children’s education. It’s a big deal (one-third of our children’s school lives).

As a former superintendent, I want to encourage everyone to get involved and, at the very least, vote.

At least two school divisions during the last round elected or acclaimed people who were openly residential school deniers and sexists, people willing to break the law, deny human rights and who defied their educators’, communities’ and government’s efforts to rein them in. They were community dividers, pitting people against one another and against children. Therefore, it’s important to vote responsibly, meaning voters need to familiarize themselves with their candidates.
