Wastewater surveillance

Health Canada’s wastewater dashboard shows the concentration of COVID-19 in wastewater samples from different sites.

The green line shows the seven-day rolling average of the viral load for each site. Health Canada calculates the seven-day rolling average by averaging the viral loads from each day with the previous six days.

An ongoing increase or decrease in the viral load is more reliable for indicating trends. If the wastewater signals are high or increasing, this may indicate a high level of COVID in the community.

The chart below shows wastewater surveillance in Winnipeg as reported from April 2021 — when data first became available in Winnipeg — to Dec. 12, 2022.

Vaccine uptake

The chart below shows the cumulative percentage of all people in Manitoba who have received a COVID-19 vaccine, by vaccination status.  The chart is updated every four weeks.

Knowledge is profitable

Joel Schlesinger 6 minute read 2:01 AM EST

It’s been stated many different ways throughout history that knowledge is power.

That is true with respect to finance today.

What’s more, information is not just a powerful tool to navigating money matters: knowledge can be profitable.

Well-informed consumers are often the most financially healthy or, at least, they’re less stressed.

Province declares state of emergency

Carol Sanders and Larry Kusch 9 minute read Friday, Mar. 20, 2020

The Manitoba government has declared a provincewide state of emergency to reduce the spread of COVID-19, giving legal force to social-distancing directives by provincial health authorities.

Effective 4 p.m. Friday, the province limited the size of indoor and outdoor public gatherings to no more than 50 people for a period of 30 days.

The order includes faith-based gatherings and family events, such as weddings and funerals. It does not apply to hospitals or areas where social services are provided.

What were once guidelines have now become orders, with those defying them susceptible to fines and possible jail sentences.

WHAT IT IS: Fade Into Blue is an enigmatic, evocative oil-on-canvas painting by Laura Lewis, a queer visual artist originally from Halifax and now based in Winnipeg. This large-scale work (183-by-152 cm) is currently on view at Plug In ICA as part of Lewis’s solo exhibition One eye filled with night.

WHAT IT’S ABOUT: This is a show of paintings, often really gorgeous paintings, but Lewis is also using the medium in a conceptual way. Taken together, these pieces are in a tricky critical conversation with the long history of figurative painting. They explore the expressive and esthetic possibilities of the medium, while taking on subjects that have often been sidelined or oversimplified.

The people in these paintings aren’t passive objects but active collaborators. Lewis works with the sitters, who are friends, sometimes fellow artists and members of the LGBTTQ+ community, in long preparatory photo shoots. She shows them in their own private spaces, in poses and postures that simultaneously reveal and conceal. These are not definitive portraits but open-ended explorations, diving into questions about the construction of identity, especially queer identity.

Some of the works in the show make sideways references to historical artists such as Edouard Manet and Marcel Duchamp, but Lewis is also using painting to reference photography and film. Those three mediums have been in an “it’s complicated” relationship since the 19th century, and Lewis continues that productive tension. In style, her works are painterly, with brushy texture and sudden shards of colour. In terms of content, they often call up images associated with vintage film stills.

Lori Ann Mancheese always wanted a home.

But the 53-year-old mother of five from Manitoba's Ebb and Flow First Nation died before her dream could come true.

Earlier this month, her remains were found in a farmer’s field outside of Winnipeg.

“She tried her best to be happy even though she didn’t have a home,” said Norma Mancheese, Lori Ann’s sister.

Marie-Serge Bibeau says she’s one of the lucky ones. As soon as she got pregnant, people advised her to get on the list for a child-care spot. Ultimately, she only had to wait five months: one-third of the average wait time.

“It’s really stressful; it doesn’t give people the initiative and the motivation to go back to work,” said Bibeau, who lives in Lockport.

Although Winnipeg has some of the country’s most affordable daycare, a Statistics Canada survey has found 52 per cent of Manitobans struggle to access spots, the highest rate in Canada.

The spots that do appear seem to exist in higher-income areas.

Fraser Bullock, who leads Salt Lake City's bid to return the Winter Olympics to Utah, sounds very confident about success.

“I believe we'll host a future Game(s). It's a question of when,” he said last week in a local television interview.

But will it be in 2030, the first opening on the IOC calendar? Or might the International Olympic Committee make a double award and also name the 2034 host? When it had two strong candidates 4 1/2 years ago for the Summer Games, the IOC selected Paris for the 2024 Olympics and Los Angeles for 2028.

The IOC isn't saying. An announcement is expected early next year, with media reports in Salt Lake City suggesting a decision in May 2023.
