A Brandon man has hit it big as he was the lucky winner of a $5-million jackpot on his lotto ticket. Louis Montroy said he was in shock when he scanned his ticket. At first, he thought it said $50,000, then $500,000, and finally he realized just how many zeros there were.

Montroy says the first thing he plans to do with his newfound wealth is to make sure his kids are taken care of and have everything they need.

Canadian flags at federal and provincial government buildings will be flown at half-mast today in recognition of the National day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. This announcement comes on the anniversary of the Montreal École Polytechnique Massacre where 14 women were killed in a mass shooting in 1989.

According to Manitoba's minister responsible for the status of women, Cathy Cox, the goal of the day is to "collectively create a dialogue, pursue change, and challenge notions and comments that perpetuate violence against women."

The University of Manitoba Faculty Association and University officials have reached an agreement that could mean the end to the strike that started back on November 2nd. If voted through by UMFA members tonight, this agreement would mean the strike would likely end and classes could resume as early as tomorrow.

The agreement is to send the issue to binding arbitration where an independent third party would review both sides and make a final decision. The arbitration would deal with the salary issue at the heart of the strike because the two sides were able to come to an agreement on other issues that cause the strike. 

The strike started in part due to UMFA members believing that higher salaries are needed to alleviate the retention and recruitment problems the school is having.

Manitobans between the ages of 12 and 17 taking part in indoor sports will now have to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or tested regularly.

The latest restrictions have kids and teens needing to have proof of either at least one vaccine dose or a negative rapid test from the past 72 hours to play indoor sports.

During a news conference earlier this month, Brent Roussin, the province's Chief Public Health Officer had this to say.

"The overall goal of that is to ensure that we have as many vaccinated in that age group as possible or tested," he said.

With cases rising rapidly among people under 20, the new rules are an effort to control transmission among children and youth..

The orders apply to all Manitobans aged 12 to 17 entering any indoor sporting or recreation facility as a spectator or to participate.

Statistics Canada says production fell more than 35 percent this year to its lowest total since 2007.

The national canola crop is estimated at 12.6 million tonnes, with an average yield of 25 bushels an acre.

The heat and the dry conditions had the greatest effect in Saskatchewan, with an average canola yield of 22 bushels an acre.

The majority of all canola in Canada is grown across Alberta, Saskatchewan and right here in Manitoba.

Manitoba RCMP has released its impaired driving statistics from January 1 to Nov 30 this year.

Across the province, there were 73 deaths in 63 collisions with 21 involving suspected alcohol use.

Today is National Impaired Driving Enforcement Day which coincides with the launch of the holiday season impaired driving enforcement blitz.

The Dauphin Ride Program, also known as Reducing Impaired Driving Everywhere, will not be operating this Christmas season because of health and safety concerns associated with Covid-19.

Normally this locally based program operates weekends in December and on New Year’s Eve.

The purpose of the program is to provide safe transportation for individuals, after an evening of celebration involving alcohol and or cannabis.

Organizers of Ride say that going forward with the program at this time would be too high of a risk for both volunteers and passengers.

They would also like to encourage all individuals this Christmas not to drink and drive, and to arrange for safe, sober transportation.
