A community brought the Trident Press home

Stephen Borys 6 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

A truck pulled up outside Oseredok a few weeks ago carrying more than an exhibition.

Inside were the panels of Ukrainian Voice: A Legacy Mosaic, a monumental artwork built from the printing blocks once used to reproduce the photographs and illustrations in one of Canada’s longest-running Ukrainian newspapers.

A dozen people gathered to unload it. Some were longtime members of Winnipeg’s Ukrainian community; others were newcomers who had arrived since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Together, they lifted, unpacked and carried the panels through Oseredok’s doors.

It was an ordinary act of volunteer labour, but also a fitting final stage in an extraordinary journey. More than a century ago, Ukrainian newcomers created the newspaper whose printing blocks form the mosaic. Now another generation of newcomers was helping bring that history home.

DANDONG, China - China on Friday put on trial one of two Canadians held for more than two years in apparent retaliation for Canada’s arrest of a senior Chinese telecom executive.

Canada said its consular officials were refused permission to attend the proceedings against Michael Spavor, who is accused by China of stealing state secrets.

Jim Nickel, the Canadian Embassy’s deputy chief of mission, said the hearing ended at noon Friday after two hours. No verdict has been announced.

Nickel declined to give other details, citing rules on protecting Spavor’s privacy.

Retailers turn to collaborations to woo customers

Roots Corp. has been doing collaborations since before they were cool.

Just ask Karl Kowalewski, head of the Canadian brand’s leather factory since the company was founded nearly 50 years ago.

He’s designed shoes for Richard Gere and Eugene Levy, a leather goods collection with writer and visual artist Douglas Coupland and more recently a varsity jacket with The Weeknd and the XO brand.

Some of the collaborations were commercialized. Most weren’t.

With the death of Queen Elizabeth II, what happens to our bills and coins?

The Canadian Press 2 minute read Thursday, Sep. 8, 2022

OTTAWA - Canadians are used to seeing Queen Elizabeth II on their money, but that could change following the death of the longest-serving British monarch and Canadian head of state.

However, the Bank of Canada, which produces Canada's paper bills, said changes likely won't be seen immediately.

The current $20 bank note featuring the Queen, is intended to circulate for years to come, the central bank said, and there is no legislative requirement to change the design within a prescribed period when the monarch changes, it said. New bank notes, including the portrait subject, are approved by the finance minister.

One observer says he doesn’t know if Canadians will ultimately see King Charles III, as he’s now known, on our bills.

Downtown residents say Portage Place proposal promising

Maggie Macintosh 4 minute read Friday, Dec. 20, 2019

The proposal for Portage Place holds promise, downtown residents and advocates say — as long as developers don’t forget about the people who frequent it now.

Humans of Portage Place documents the downtown cafeteria’s regulars and visitors who do their errands at the shopping centre at 393 Portage Ave. And according to one of the Facebook page’s founders, it highlights the faces who need to be heard in discussions about the downtown hub’s future.

“There is a real lack of real public spaces in the downtown area — probably the closest place to Portage Place is the public library, the Millennium Library, and that has become less accessible due to the security measures. There’s no community centre or rec centre close by,” said Kate Sjoberg, a North Point Douglas resident who often visits the mall.

“People make space... and that, in many ways, is Portage Place.”

Union members representing a total of more than 25,000 health-care support workers have voted to ratify a new collective agreement.

A tentative contract deal that was reached about 90 minutes before a strike deadline on Oct. 8.

“Our members stuck together to get a really good deal that will help solve the health-care staffing crises,” CUPE 500 president Gord Delbridge said in a news release Friday afternoon.

“We have built an agreement that helps recruit new members and retain the ones we have.”
