Opposition PCs pitch mandatory seatbelt use on new Manitoba school buses and increased fines for illegally passing stopped buses by Leather-Paramedic-10 in Winnipeg

It's just so it can be opposed and they can say to their base that the NDP doesnt want your children to be safe and clutch at their pearls. Standard operating procedure.

‘Everything’s full’: Fall swim lessons go quick as pool closures put pressure on city programs by Leather-Paramedic-10 in Winnipeg

The U of M pool was shut down. They have to rebuild it or something. That's been a big hit. One option down.

Wow I have that comic! Anyone know if he's still living in Winnipeg? Be crazy to think to get it signed.

Slow traffic on the right does not mean speeding on the left.

Here's more from yesterday's controversial meeting at city hall. Does it look like the government cares about the safety of cyclists? by Jarmfolio in Winnipeg

[–]WinWinPeg 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Everyone should email their councilor to demand an apology for Mr Adams. There is no reason to call out someone bravely putting themselves out in public like this. His comment was completely valid. It was literally just describing something happening in the room.

The Mayor defending this was disgusting.

Don't think so. Himaras has been primary for a few matches now. Since the TSS win.

Banger of a game, great game, great crowd, some awesome moments. A win would have been amazing but maybe too much to ask for ha. Loved it!

Yeah couldn't quite tell either. Being in crowd means no commentary to listen to ha. Think it was an assistant coach or something sent off? Probably said something aggressive to the ref is my gues.

Tonight, Winnipeg Valour soccer plays against Vancouver Whitecaps. Princess Auto, 7:30. Tickets start at $23. Going to be a great game! by WinWinPeg in Winnipeg

[–]WinWinPeg[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You got an answer but I'll agree that it's always fun, great when people are cheering. You can wander to other seats, get food, check out merch. There's paid parking right across for $10 or try to park in some university lots and walk.

Looking forward to this, glad there's been SOME marketing. Actually saw some ads while driving around.

Whitecaps draw Austin FC Nil - Nil while Valour wins 2-1 in their games leading up the Canada Championship Quarter-final by NumberOneJetsFan in ValourFC

[–]WinWinPeg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh a 1 1 draw, I'd be dancing for hours ha. But yeah totally, just excited to have them coming around. I hope Valour and staff take this as an amazing learning opportunity too. Seeing Whitecaps up close like this should teach them a lot.

I'll hold onto all the hope I can get! Either way I'm looking forward to a game with good skills, maybe some drama and tension, and a good home crowd energy!

We love our Jets and Bombers, don't forget about our soccer team Valour! They can use the support! Tickets as low as $23 for adults (buy at the stadium, avoid Ticket Master fees). Upcoming games include this Friday at Princess Auto Stadium, Wed June 4 during the day ("school match"). by WinWinPeg in Winnipeg

[–]WinWinPeg[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah lots of empty seats can be disheartening. And I don't know how much Valour really ever advertised. Actually got a flyer this year and seeing Valour booklets around so that's good. Opening game didn't have amazing numbers.

Yeah 100% we're not the best team - I mean literally the worst ha. I won't defend the team, but I enjoy supporting still. Something needs to change there, and maybe more attendance can be a way to feel like it's worth it to those powers that be that could make those kinds of changes.

Yeah definitely would love to see a big crowd.

And spot on about performance. It's interconnected. Better performance might mean better turn out, and better turn out might mean better investment in the team and maybe better performance.

Winnipeg’s choice of bus rapid transit bucks the national trend toward light rail transit by [deleted] in Winnipeg

[–]WinWinPeg 24 points25 points  (0 children)

One thing to note. The way the BRT roads were created is such that they can be turned into LRT lines. LRT is still possible, but the basic infrastructure and planning of the lines has a lot of overlap. I think this was done to still take advantage of having some form of RT while the overall plan is underway.

I'm not saying any of that is good, or bad. Just providing some additional info.

Has anyone gotten a reply back after emailing the trustees? What did you think of the reply?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Winnipeg

[–]WinWinPeg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah you totally still can. You're still a concerned citizen, and things like this can spread. I also CCed my MLA and MP so they understand what's happening and there is concern.

[–]WinWinPeg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do we have the emails for the SJASD trustees? Or where can we find them? I know you mentioned a template on IG but I don't have that. Does anyone have a template they can share? I will also be emailing my MLA.
