After the Next Ice Age In Long Plain Res was commissioned for the 2017/18 WAG exhibition, INSURGENCE/RESURGENCE. Woods is a Dakota/Ojibway artist from Long Plain First Nation. This large painting takes a humorous look towards the future and hope for cultural resurgence, as elders surf down the waves of change.

Woods sees his paintings as expressions of his spiritual journey. The subject of his work is based on the oral histories of his ancestors, dreams and the natural world — blending tradition with wit.

Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Wednesday (free after 5 p.m.) and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Sunday (free on second Sunday of every month).

Klein vows to freeze water, sewer rate for next two years

Mayoral candidate Kevin Klein is promising to cancel a water and sewer rate hike proposed for next year and freeze the fee for two years.

Klein said Winnipeggers are simply paying far too much for the utility.

“I think we have to freeze them right now because we’ve seen (a substantial increase) in the last four years. We are facing some of the most difficult financial times for families right now,” he said.

He would also ask the provincial Public Utilities Board to set Winnipeg’s future water and sewer rates, a power currently held by city council.

‘We’ll stand for the children’: crowds gather for Orange Shirt Day in Winnipeg

Matthew Frank 2 minute read Updated: 1:06 PM CDT

A sea of people clad in orange shirts and waving flags marched through downtown Winnipeg to honour those who survived and died in residential schools.

Wednesday marked National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day. It was first enshrined as a Manitoba statutory holiday on Sept. 30, 2024.

As part of the many organized events throughout the province, the Southern Chiefs Organization held the sixth annual Orange Shirt Day Healing Walk and Pow Wow.

The march began with Indigenous elders leading prayers and a pipe and smudging ceremony at Oodena Celebration Circle at The Forks.

Being in the black, doesn’t mean being out of the woods

The Pallister government may be planning to balance the books in two years. But it doesn’t mean the province will stop borrowing and racking up debt even after it’s in the black. That’s something Premier Brian Pallister alluded to in a year-end press conference Tuesday.

The idea that government still has to borrow money to pay the bills, even with a balanced budget, may sound counterintuitive. But if you look a little deeper into how the province reports its finances, it’s easy to see how the province will still have to borrow money years after it officially balances the books.

That may be disappointing to those who thought a balanced budget — now expected in 2022 — might allow the province to loosen the purse strings. But the way government accounting works, eliminating the deficit doesn’t necessarily mean the province no longer has borrowing requirements.

“We’re not out of the woods yet,” Pallister said Tuesday when talking about the province’s financial status. “We have the highest debt per capita in Canada.”

Billions of dollars spent on health, but scattershot financial reporting leaves decision-makers, Manitobans in the dark, auditor general says

Nicole Buffie 3 minute read Yesterday at 5:20 PM CDT

Manitoba’s auditor general says significant gaps in health-sector financial reporting make it difficult to understand how billions of dollars in public funds are spent.

Auditor General Tyson Shtykalo is calling for clearer, more transparent reporting in his latest report, titled Observations on Health Sector Financial Reporting and Accountability in Manitoba.

“Manitoba spends nearly $10 billion annually on health care, but current financial reporting does not provide a clear picture of how that money is spent, what services cost, or the financial pressures facing the system,” Shtykalo said in a news release.

While some financial information is available, the reports do not provide a “complete, consistent, or easily understood” picture of how health-care funds are spent, the report said.

Pallister’s ego behind carbon tax flip-flop

Dan Lett 6 minute read Thursday, Oct. 4, 2018

It doesn't make any sense.

Earlier this week, Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister stunned onlookers inside and outside the province with a decision to abandon his own $25-per-tonne carbon tax — the core lever in a complex, provincewide plan to curb carbon emissions.

The premier told reporters Wednesday he was throwing out nearly two years of work on a homegrown climate change plan because Ottawa did not "respect" Manitoba's desire to hold carbon taxes at about half the level demanded by the federal government.

It was not clear what Pallister meant by respect; the two levels of government disagree about the level at which carbon taxes should be set. Up until this week, the two levels of government disagreed over policy and methodology.
