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

Joshua Frey-Sam 7 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.

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.
