Manitoba Hydro Demand $20 Million Dollars

Councillor Janice Lukes says since the vote councillors are giving the issue more serious thought.
Winnipeg Transit Smart Card System Operational
It has been ten years in the making but Winnipeg Transit says their smart card system known as
Peggo is finally ready to operate.
The new fare card is to be rolled out in phases, with seniors being the first group to use their cards starting July 4th.
That will be followed by full fare and youth passengers in early August.
The system first promised in 2006 was to be ready in by 2013, but several glitches delayed the project.
Rare Bear Spotted In Whistler
Biologists are trying to figure out the genetic makeup of a rare, cream-coloured bear cub spotted near Whistler, British Columbia.
Arthur De Jong spotted the cub last Thursday, a few days after a guide first caught a glimpse of it. He says such an unusual bear had never been seen in the ski area, and he snapped a few photos to send to experts.
They're now trying to determine whether it's an albino or a kermode bear, which typically live on BC's north and central coasts.
