Manitoba is close to hitting its third goal on the 4-3-2-One great summer reopening path.

The next goal is for 80 percent of eligible Manitobans to have their first dose and 75 percent to have their second.

Currently, 78.7 percent of eligible Manitobans have had at least one dose and 66.5 percent have had two doses.

Dr. Brent Roussin says we’re getting closer to a post-pandemic Manitoba with each passing day.

“This is going to be a Manitoba with public health guidelines, rather than public health restrictions. This Manitoba won’t be reporting cases daily so we need to start adjusting and getting used to not hearing daily case counts on COVID-19.”

The demand for the Manitoba physical immunization card continues to be high. All cards requested by July 11th have been mailed out and additional card stock has been secured and printing has resumed.

The Manitoba Government is extending the state of emergency.

Infrastructure Minister Ron Schuler made the announcement today.

“As we continue towards our government’s safe summer reopening plan to allow for fewer restrictions and further rebuild our economy, we need Manitobans to continue to follow the fundamentals and get vaccinated to ensure we keep on a positive trajectory to a post-pandemic Manitoba.”

The extension goes into effect today, Monday, July 26th at 4 p.m. for a period of 30 days.

The state of emergency was first declared on March 20th, 2020, by the powers set out in section 10(1) and 10(2) of the Emergency Measures Act.

A criminal charge of voyeurism against a Brandon police officer will not be going to trial after the Crown entered a stay of proceedings.

The officer was accused of secretly recording images of someone for a sexual purpose.

The Crown stayed the charge in June, about a month before a trial was set to begin in Brandon.

Manitoba's Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba, which is mandated to investigate all serious incidents involving police officers, filed the charge in May 2020.

Both the IIU and Brandon Police Service said at the time the officer will not be identified to protect the identity of the complainant.

On July 23, 2021, at approximately 11:40 pm, Lundar RCMP responded to a report of a head-on collision on Highway 6, approximately 10 kilometres south of St. Laurent.

The grounds of the McKay residential school in Dauphin and the Guy Hill residential school near The Pas are set to be searched with ground-penetrating radar.

This comes as unmarked graves on residential school grounds have recently been discovered across the country.

Elders from Opaskwayak Cree Nation (OCN), a First nation near the Pas, are being consulted before a ground radar search begins.

Those who attended the schools or have knowledge because of relatives who attended will help map out areas to search on the sites.

The search could begin within a month.

The Manitoba MudRun which has taken place just outside of Dauphin for nearly 10 years is no longer.

After running the event for seven years and taking a two-year break due to the pandemic, organizers have decided to put an end to the annual festivities.

"We feel that now is the right time to transition to other ventures and no longer host this yearly event," organizers shared on a Facebook post. "It was a difficult decision and not one that was made quickly or without hesitation but it's the right decision for our organization."

The event has raised over $250,000 since the beginning and the funds have allowed the Dauphin Rotary Club to make financial contributions towards the Dauphin Skate Park, Dauphin's Recreation's waterslide upgrade, Parkland Crossing's indoor playground, Whitmore School's playground revitalization and most recently, the beautiful Northgate trail system.

The pandemic has taken a toll on the mental health of many people, but the transition out of the pandemic could also be difficult for some.

Registered Psychologist, Dr. Syras Derkson says these changes in routine may be particularly difficult for introverted people, or people with social anxiety.

“People in these situations have often really enjoyed the pandemic. I know extroverts have really have struggled, but people with social anxiety have actually really appreciated it because it takes away that pressure. But now, because they’ve been at home for so long the anxiety will often increase, and what was hard to do before is even harder now.”

Dr. Derkson says everyone’s situation is different, and it’s good for anyone who’s struggling to readjust to get individualized advice, or go through a therapy process.

“When you’re coming out of something like this, taking small steps can be really helpful.”

We have resources for Manitobans who are struggling with mental health here.

The Dauphin Clinic Pharmacy, alongside the Dauphin Countryfest Community Cinema, have renewed their partnership in extending the screen naming rights for one of the theatre's screens with a 25,000 donation from the pharmacy.

Sarah Watson, Pharmacist and part-owner of the Clinic, disclosed how the renewal came about,

"The theatre approached us and just asked if we would renew our naming rights. I think the pandemic has really been finically detrimental for the theatre since it's been closed for over a year. So Dauphin Clinic Pharmacy did decide to donate another 25,000 to the theatre to renew the screen naming right."

Watson went on to illustrate the Clinic's support of the Theatre,

"We feel so lucky just to have such an awesome theatre in our community, and we obviously wanted to see it thrive. The Dauphin Clinic Pharmacy has always enjoyed giving back to worthy community projects, and we think the theatre is defiantly deserving of it. So we want to keep supporting our community and donating to projects that are in need."

The Pharmacy has held the rights to one of the four-screen names at the Theatre since the Cinema opened over ten years ago.

This news comes as the Cinema reopened yesterday with new public health guidelines.
