r/Winnipeg

We live near Gladstone school off Osborne and since we moved in two years ago someone comes and prunes a bunch of our garden in the fall. Last year it was one rose bush and we almost thought we were imagining it. But this weekend we went to do garden work and a bunch of our perennials had been cut back.

While I imagine the person probably feels they are helping out, my wife loves her garden and gets very frustrated about this. She spends a lot of time planning her pruning for her future garden plans and this mystery pruner cuts back too much and too early. We have one new bush that they cut back so much we aren't sure it will survive.

Has this happened to anyone else?

In my mid 30s finally trying to learn to drive lol. After searching online, many seem to recommend Leanne driving school and I was wondering if her charge of $150 for 1.5 hours a normal rate for Winnipeg driving schools? seems pricey to me unless I texted the wrong number

Going to Winnipeg for a few days and looking for local recommendations! I’ve already booked some time at the spa and I’ll be in town mid-week.

Some interests include good coffee and pastries, enjoyable walks, good local restaurants. Would love to bring home some sourdough bread. Any boutiques or local shops to look at artesianal goods. I also weirdly love little independent grocery stores. I’m planning on having a sandwich from Myer’s Delicatessen but would love to hear of other small joints that mostly only locals hit.

Thank you for your recommendations!!

Wow! I cannot believe how much they upped their game.

From a barren walk filled with disappointment to a gauntlet of entertainment, kudos to the people who organized this year because 2 minutes in and we’ve already experienced more than we did the whole circuit last year.

I've spotted at least a dozen over the last week or so affixed to lightposts, mailboxes, basically anything outside you can tape something to. It is ok to remove this and put it in the garbage where it belongs. Hate speech is not protected speech.

Thanks for fixing the power outage in our neighbourhood and getting the electricity restored.
Thanks Hydro workers for getting it restored.

A Winnipeg mother says she is terrified to go for a walk after her three children were struck by a car at an intersection Monday afternoon. The mother believes the crash was preventable and is calling on drivers to be more cautious.

“Honestly, I am terrified to go outside now with the stroller and my kids,” said Brooke Pascal, a Winnipeg mother.

Pascal says her family was waiting on the sidewalk here when they saw a car speeding their way.

When she realized the car was not stopping, she tried to pull the stroller further from the road.

That’s when she says the car didn’t stop at the red light and mounted the sidewalk.

“There is no reason that car was moving as fast as it was,” said Pascal.

Pascal’s daughter was hit the most. She was taken to hospital and had stitches on the back of her head. Her face was covered in bruises. All three of Pascal’s children were taken to hospital in stable condition.

“The car hit my kids. And they flew 20 feet from where they were at,” said Pascal.

The driver and the passenger in the car were taken to hospital in unstable condition, but later upgraded to stable.

Pascal says she’s still waiting for Winnipeg police to interview her about the incident.

Winnipeg police said the driver was issued a ticket and that, when necessary for investigative purposes, arrangements may be made at a later date to conduct interviews. But Pascal says, since the crash, she has a hard time going outside with her children.

“I am always on high alert. My son is always on high alert when we go out. It’s really scary,” said Pascal.

She’s calling on Winnipeg drivers to be more cautious and hopes this doesn’t happen to someone else.

“Pay attention to the families on the sidewalks and not to be so reckless with your driving,” said Pascal.

We are getting into the dark and foggy season now. PLEASE wear something reflective. Especially the E-scooters Because your body doesn't move, it's very hard to pick you out on a dark road.

At least bikes have reflectors on the pedals, so you see a weird motion and realize that you need to slow down and make room.

Sincerely, The school bus driver who's desperately trying not to kill you.
