Glimmer of hope amid skyrocketing COVID-19 cases

As Manitoba's COVID-19 infection rates reach some of their highest yet, with more than 2,000 new cases recorded over the past four days, the pace of the vaccine rollout is offering a glimmer of hope that the province is in a better position now compared with last fall.

Dr. Brent Roussin, Manitoba's chief provincial public health officer, said Monday it's too soon to say if restrictions would be loosened when public health orders expire at the end of the month. The orders, which came into effect Sunday, are the strictest measures Manitoba has had since second-wave lockdown restrictions were lifted in February.

"We are considering a significant amount of Manitobans protected by the end of May, so we really wanted to have that opportunity to review things very closely, see if there's any chances to loosen some of these restrictions at that point," Roussin said.

For the third day since Friday, Manitoba recorded more than 500 new cases of COVID-19 — matching the province’s third-highest daily case count since the beginning of the pandemic. Another grim milestone is on the horizon as the province's death toll from the virus rose to 997, with four more deaths announced Monday.

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

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.

Chef friends bring London's culinary culture home to Winnipeg

Eva Wasney 5 minute read Tuesday, May. 11, 2021

The chefs are back in town and they’ve started their own London-inspired catering company.

Michael Robins, co-founder of Sous Sol, and Keegan Misanchuk, former chef de cuisine at Segovia, recently returned home to Winnipeg after several years of cooking in high-profile English kitchens. Their new private catering and pop-up venture, called Two Hands, brings together everything they learned during their culinary exchange and is emblematic of their focus on handmade food done well.

“I was just thinking about cooking,” Robins, 36, says of the inspiration behind the name. “And whether it’s fine dining or anything else, it all starts with your hands… and that’s the thing I love about cooking the most.”

So far, the pair have hosted a handful — pardon the pun — of pop-up events at local breweries and restaurants featuring everything from East London-style bagel sandwiches to Thai barbecue. They’ve also been channelling the British savoury-pie tradition with a recurring event called Proper Pies.

City exceeds housing targets as millions in federal funds set to roll in

Joyanne Pursaga 3 minute read Yesterday at 2:58 PM CDT

The City of Winnipeg has exceeded several homebuilding targets tied to its share of the federal Housing Accelerator Fund, with permits issued for 14,833 new housing units since December 2023.

The agreement to claim $126.5 million from the fund since the end of 2023 required the city to approve at least 14,251 new dwellings before Dec. 5.

“We set aggressive targets for new building permits in the Housing Accelerator Fund and we have exceeded the targets that we set three months before the deadline… (It) is very good news for Winnipeg at a time when we need more housing,” said Mayor Scott Gillingham.

The city expects to receive its final $32.6-million federal payment in early 2027, after its results are reviewed by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

Scrounging bestie overdue for reality check

Maureen Scurfield 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I’m almost 40, and one of my closest friends who was jobless for three years is once again earning decent money again — but she’s still acting like she’s broke!

I don’t care how people spend their money, but she still expects me to pay for her. For instance, if we go out for lunch, she’ll ask if we can do a 75-25 split, with her paying the lower amount. She also comes to potlucks with nothing to share, and then has the nerve to ask to take food home. She will also ask me to cover something and promise to pay me back, but then I have to hound her for weeks to get the money!

But it really took the cake recently when we went to a concert and she asked me to cover her ticket. Then she bought two T-shirts at the merch table! It feels underhanded to me — and insulting to my intelligence. It also feels weird to have to bring it up to her. We’ve been besties since high school —many, many years ago. Please help.

Sour celebration: Mother’s Day call to remote learning weighs on parents, teachers

Maggie Macintosh 4 minute read Monday, May. 10, 2021

Rather than join her children on a hike Sunday, Brandy Cook was among the many teacher/mothers in Manitoba who spent what was supposed to be an afternoon of celebration preparing for an abrupt shift to remote learning.

It was not the extra work, which has been constant for educators throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, nor cancelled plans that frustrated her. What angered Cook was the timing of the province’s announcement: 1:30 p.m. on Mother’s Day.

“The reality is that child care in a large amount of families falls onto mothers. The pandemic has affected women at higher rates than men. They’re the ones expected to make sacrifices,” said Cook, who teaches Grade 9 social studies, science and English in Winnipeg.

“The idea that they waited until Mother’s Day seemed malicious and sexist, and it just really made me angry because it was unnecessary.”
