Be part of the healthcare solution

Erin DeBooy 4 minute read Monday, Nov. 28, 2022

The University of Manitoba is taking major steps to combat the province's healthcare crisis — expanding enrolment capacity in the Bachelor of Nursing program and accelerating its completion time.

“There’s a high vacancy rate within the nursing workforce throughout the province, so as a provider of nursing education we feel that we have an opportunity to make a difference and provide leadership in addressing that nursing shortage,” said Dr. Netha Dyck, dean, College of Nursing, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences.

"We recognize that the nursing shortage has a serious impact on the ability to provide quality care and we have the opportunity to really make that difference.”

A third intake of 120 students will be added beginning in May 2023 — increasing the number of students in the program in Winnipeg from 240 to 360.

Taking a stand on health care

Noah Schulz 4 minute read Saturday, Jul. 25, 2026

Public health care didn’t develop in Canada by accident. It was fought for by people across the country.

Those grassroots efforts grew into the public health-care system we know today, first enshrined as a national right in 1984. At the time, the Canada Health Act was passed unanimously by all parties sitting in the House of Commons. This political consensus was the product of grassroots organizing and provincial leadership from Saskatchewan.

It is important to know and celebrate this history, while acknowledging that the job of building a truly equitable, universal, accessible and comprehensive public health-care system in Canada is not done. Gaps in access to care exist along many lines, including those rooted in geography and identity.

We must be honest about the challenges facing the public health-care system, but that does not mean abandoning this system.

HSC weapons scanners effective, needed at other hospitals: nurses union

Carol Sanders 5 minute read 9:57 AM CDT

The AI weapons scanners at Health Sciences Centre have detected close to 2,000 items since they were installed at Manitoba’s largest hospital.

From March 6, 2025 to the beginning of this month, a total of 1,973 items had been flagged by the scanners and identified for further review, Shared Health said this week.

Knives, Swiss army knives and other multi-tools, drugs, alcohol, box cutters, syringes and other injection devices were detected, it said. The technology set up at entrances to the adult and children’s emergency rooms and the crisis response centre is designed to identify a wide range of objects that may require review under site safety protocols.

But Manitoba Nurses Union president Darlene Jackson said the technology isn’t available everywhere at HSC, and a sawed-off rifle was discovered in the adult ER earlier this month.

Family of slain lawyer offers forgiveness to killer

Dean Pritchard 4 minute read Thursday, Feb. 10, 2022

In voices sometimes choked with anguish, family members of a young city lawyer who died defending a friend from a senseless assault offered forgiveness to his killer Thursday.

“I release you from the unpayable debt you owe for my brother’s life,” Michael Silicz told 22-year-old Keishawn Mitchell at a sentencing hearing Thursday.

Justin Silicz, 32, died on June 2, 2019, after he was stabbed while walking to his car from an after-hours club with friends.

A jury convicted Mitchell of second-degree murder following a trial last November.

Fighting tariffs with the power of boycotts

Fighting tariffs with the power of boycotts

Editorial 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

Speaking this week about an important deadline for a renewal of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico agreement on trade, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew promised that Manitoba will continue to keep American booze off the shelves of government liquor stores if a fair deal cannot be reached.

“No CUSMA, no booze-ma,” Kinew said with poetic flair.

Manitoba is not alone in this threat.

Although he lacks Kinew’s poetry, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he was only willing to allow U.S. wine, beer and spirits back onto the shelves of government liquor stores if the U.S. scaled back the 50 per cent tariffs on steel, aluminum and autos U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to impose on Aug. 19.

Oleksiak makes history with seventh Olympic medal

The Canadian Press 8 minute read Sunday, Aug. 1, 2021

TOKYO - The Canadian women finished their impressive medal haul in the pool – including a record-setting performance from Penny Oleksiak – and Andre De Grasse finally got Canada's men on the board with his second consecutive Olympic bronze in the men's 100 metres.

After finishing third in the medley relay, Maggie Mac Neil draped a bronze medal brimming with significance around Oleksiak's neck as their teammates Kylie Masse and Sydney Pickrem celebrated on the podium.

"Most decorated," they chanted in unison with their arms around each other during post-ceremony interviews with reporters.

On the final day of swimming competition at the Tokyo Olympics, Toronto's Oleksiak took her place at the top among Canada's greatest Olympians. In helping the medley relay team win bronze, she earned her seventh career Olympic medal, and at just 21 became the most decorated Canadian Olympian of all time.
