Alexis Enns left her guidance counsellor’s office empty-handed, but no less excited about starting Grade 12 — even though she still didn’t know how she would get there or her timetable — on Tuesday.

“My summer was pretty boring,” the 17-year-old said after an unsuccessful trip to get her free bus pass and bearings at Technical Vocational High School.

“I like back-to-school. I like having somewhere to be every day and something to do every day.”

For some families in the Winnipeg School Division, hers included, the 2026-27 academic year kicked off with delays related to the rollout of free youth transit and course schedules.

JOHN WOODS / FREE PRESS FILES How are we going to solve the problem of homelessness while two of Winnipeg’s prominent social-service agencies are clashing with each other?

Battling agencies would have far greater impact on homeless crisis by working together

Dan Lett 5 minute read 3:14 PM CDT

In the midst of one of the most concerted efforts to reduce, if not eliminate, homelessness, why are two of Winnipeg’s more prominent social service agencies fighting each other?

This week, city councillors Cindy Gilroy and Ross Eadie accused Main Street Project of trying to derail efforts by another agency — St. Boniface Street Links — to find housing for people living in homeless encampments. Gilroy and Eadie said as Street Links outreach workers started efforts to move encampment residents into more stable housing, MSP workers arrived to tell the same residents they did not have to leave if they preferred to stay where they were.

This is not the first time these two organizations have clashed, reportedly over the same issue.

In July 2024, Coun. Janice Lukes told the Free Press she called Street Links to help the residents of a Southwood encampment find permanent housing, but as its outreach workers were collecting personal information, MSP outreach workers arrived and told residents they didn’t have to leave.

MLAs reject private member’s bill to extend municipal voting rights to permanent residents, teens 16 and older

Maggie Macintosh 4 minute read Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2025

MLAs have rejected a pitch to explore allowing permanent residents and students aged 16 and up to vote in municipal and school board elections.

Mark Wasyliw, a independent MLA, tabled voter-eligibility changes last week in Bill 211 (The Local Elections Voter Eligibility Act).

“Many young people and new­comers are already deeply involved in their communities,” Wasyliw told the house Tuesday. “They study here, work here and raise families here, yet they currently have no say in the local decisions that shape their everyday lives.”

Wasyliw, who began his political career as Winnipeg school trustee from 2011 to 2019, made a lengthy, passionate speech in support of his private member’s bill when the legislature resumed after the Thanksgiving long weekend.

Ford’s anti-tariff ad leaves bruise

Editorial 4 minute read Saturday, Nov. 1, 2025

Say what you will about Ontario Premier Doug Ford — he knows how to get under a fellow populist’s skin.

Ford succeeded in irritating U.S. President Donald Trump with his decision to run a TV ad critical of Trump’s tariff scheme, utilizing old footage of former president Ronald Reagan to make the point that the late president — still greatly admired among many Americans — would not have approved of Trump’s methods.

Reaction to the ad among Trump and his supporters was swift and furious. MAGA acolytes denounced it, claiming it skewed Reagan’s words, while Trump claimed the ad was AI-generated (it was not). He immediately threatened to impose an extra 10 per cent in tariffs on Canada, “over and above” what he has previously laid out.

The clips of Reagan, pulled from a 1987 speech, are authentic, although a case can be made they did not include the full context of Reagan’s words regarding the U.S.’s trading relationship with Japan — the subject of the comments — at the time of the speech.

St. Charles golfer takes opening round lead at national senior men’s championship

Joshua Frey-Sam 6 minute read Yesterday at 7:59 PM CDT

David White didn’t set any expectations entering this week.

The St. Charles golfer knew he had the game to keep up with a talented field across four days, but wouldn’t go so far as to say he’d be in the hunt for a title.

So the 59-year-old walked away in great spirits after an opening round three-under 69 has him leading the Canadian senior men’s championship at Niakwa on Tuesday.

It was a terrific display of resilience in blustery conditions for White, who was one shot clear of Scotland’s Ronnie Clark, the only other player to reach red figures.

Seven-year-old Ethan Minski is among tens of thousands of Manitoba students who have officially started a new school year.

Before entering King Edward School, Minski said he was most looking forward to phys-ed class.

“Everybody loves gym. It’s just fun!” the Grade 2 student said.
