UPDATE:

On Friday at 5:45 p.m., officers responded to a disturbance in downtown Dauphin; they attempted to speak with a 22-year-old male on the scene.

When the man was advised that he was being placed under arrest for breaching several court-imposed conditions, he ran back into his apartment complex and barricaded himself inside the apartment.

Officers did not pursue the 22-year-old as it was believed he was armed with a knife.

The suspect was believed to be alone in the apartment.

After several hours of communication with the suspect, he exited the apartment and was arrested without incident.

The 22-year-old male was taken back to the Dauphin Detachment and may face charges of Resisting Arrest, Failing to Comply with Release Order, Mischief, and Failing to Comply with an Undertaking.

The investigation in this case continues.

We continue to wait for more details, and once they become available, you will find out about them here first.

On Thursday, Manitoba Métis Federation (MMF) Minister of Housing and Property Management announced a housing project in Binscarth, in the RM of Russell. 

This project is part of the MMF’s ongoing commitment to affordable, safe, and accessible housing for Métis citizens across Manitoba. 

This housing project will consist of two duplexes, for a total of four affordable seniors housing units.  

Both units will include features to accommodate residents with mobility issues such as space underneath the sink and stove to allow for walkers and wheelchairs, grab bars in the bathroom, a ramp to the front door and more.  

The units will also feature amenities such as a sunroom, deck, an exterior storage shed, luxury vinyl flooring and high efficiency appliances so that future tenants may live in comfort.  

The duplexes in Binscarth are the same design as those already constructed in Portage La Prairie and those currently being built in St. Ambroise.  

The MMF Housing Department is currently conducting market research and engaging with the MMF Regions to determine where future projects are most needed.

Advanced Education, Skills and Immigration Minister Wayne Ewasko and Health and Seniors Care Minister Audrey Gordon have announced that nine family doctors have started or will start practicing in rural Interlake communities, including Ashern.

Ewasko says four of the new physicians are graduates of the one-year Medical Licensure Program for International Medical Graduates offered through the University of Manitoba, which is designed to integrate physicians who have practiced internationally into the Canadian medical system.

“This program has allowed physicians who have practiced internationally to better understand the needs of rural patients and the variety of health-care services people require.”

Recruitment efforts by the region and private clinics are seeing new physicians begin practice in Beausejour, Eriksdale, Lac du Bonnet, Teulon, and Selkirk, with internationally experienced medical graduates working in Ashern and Pine Falls.

The four international medical graduate physicians will be working in rural and underserviced areas of Manitoba and have made a four-year commitment to the region.

The minister noted the nine family physicians include two doctors who completed their two-year residency program in the Interlake-Eastern RHA, as well as three who were trained in rural and Northern Manitoba through the Dauphin, Brandon and Northern-Remote residency programs.

The recent government announcement has impacted multiple changes to Dauphin Recreation Services and their facilities.

As of today, only individuals who are fully immunized against COVID-19 will be able to enter Dauphin Rec’s facilities.

Meaning if you plan to go to a Dauphin Rec facility, you should be prepared to show both your vaccine card and your ID.

Since It is not required for children under 17 to be fully vaccinated to participate in youth recreational sports, Dauphin Rec will not require proof of vaccination for anyone in that age group participating in scheduled youth programming.

Ineligible youth (children up to 11 years old) will be able to enter their facilities with an adult who meets the vaccination requirement.

Unless you are engaging in physical activity, masks will continue to be mandatory while at the facility.

Dauphin Rec says they will continue to follow and adapt to all Public Health Orders.

Starting today, Manitobans will need to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to participate in certain events across the province.

This comes after Health and Seniors Minister Audrey Gordon and Chief Provincial Public Health Officer Dr. Brent Roussin announced last week that not only would the mask mandate be reinstated across the province, but also that Manitobans would have to start showing proof of vaccination with their vaccine card or QR code to be granted entry into events such as:

• indoor and outdoor ticketed sporting events and concerts
• indoor theatre/dance/symphony events
• restaurants (indoor and patio dining)
• nightclubs and all other licensed premises
• casinos, bingo halls and VLT lounges
• movie theatres
• fitness centres, gyms and indoor sporting and recreational facilities (excluding youth recreational sport)
• organized indoor group recreational classes and activities, and indoor recreational businesses

Children who are too young for immunization will be able to attend these facilities and events with a fully immunized adult.

In last week's press conference, Dr. Roussin said that these health orders are being put in place with the hope that it will reduce the need for future public health restrictions and lockdowns that would otherwise be necessary to combat a COVID-19 fourth wave.
