Manitoba Co-operator: Students bring KAP resolution on kochia (UM Today)

Manitoba's Muskoka - Beyond The Contour (Beyond The Contour)

I will admit: being from Alberta, the concept of a swampy, rock-infested region where golf courses navigate the horse fly dominated watery hazards and the ...

Nevertheless, a day at Granite Hills is not one wasted, and provides a cool contrast to the prairie layouts in Winnipeg and to the west. The routing, while exciting because of the way it teases the golfer and ends on a bang, is a bit confusing with so many crossovers to make it work. Granite Hills is nothing if not picturesque, though, and while my experience in Manitoba is limited to ten courses, that includes most of the ones you want to see. At Granite Hills, the routing brings us to the lake on the 3rd, and then finishes on the shores for the 15th through 18th. Then there is Granite Hills, a golf course that if someone blindfolded you and asked where you were, you might say Gravenhurst, Ontario in the heart of the Muskokas. In my nerdy nature, I quickly enjoyed the 1st and 11th, both doglegs—the 1st moving left and the 11th right—with fairways sloping to the outside corners. The golf here is almost a secret, hidden by stereotypes of Manitoba and poor media coverage. I did not play any golf in Winnipeg on the second trip, instead, I focussed on the surrounding areas: Brandon, mostly, and a trip to Lac du Bonnet for Granite Hills, a Les Furber design northeast of the city. The obvious choice is Predator Ridge’s Predator course, and with Doug Carrick’s recent tweaks, it is better than it once was. Most of the work he has contributed either has been or needs to be ripped up. No longer am I playing faux-links golf in the prairies of Alberta or Saskatchewan. My second visit, however, reminded me a lot like the first time I went to Muskoka.

Opinion: Manitobans facing bad and worse at polls (Winnipeg Free Press)

Over the past few weeks, Manitoba's Progressive Conservative government has been repeatedly rocked by the release of reports that further jeopardize its sagging ...

That same day, yet another report in this newspaper told us, according to the 2022 Prosperity Report released by the Manitoba Employers Council, Manitoba ranks dead last among the five provinces west of Quebec in 11 of 33 key economic indicators. Viewed from that perspective, it’s easy to regard the coming election as a depressing contest between bad and worse. According to 2020 taxation data, nearly 65,000 Manitoba children — 20 per cent of all children in the province — were living in poverty. That’s the “ballot-box question” Manitoba’s New Democrats want voters to ask themselves as they choose which candidate to vote for in the upcoming provincial election. 14, it was reported in this newspaper that Manitoba has the highest child-poverty rate of all Canadian provinces, more than seven per cent higher than the national average. 3, a report in this newspaper revealed that Manitoba’s cities have experienced their largest exodus of citizens to other provinces in more than two decades.

'A humbling experience': Manitoba nursing recruitment trip is ... (Globalnews.ca)

Manitoba's mission to find nurses in the Philippines to supplement the province's health-care system is underway in Manila.

Warren said the recruitment process is two-fold. “In my experience, yes, there are a lot of sacrifices, the process is rigorous. … It’s a humbling experience.” “We really see this as one of our strategies to bring that help to nurses and the (health care) teams, while we wait for those increased nursing seats to really realize those actual increased numbers of Manitoba-grown nurses here in Manitoba.” The response so far, Borce said, has been very positive. We have a lot of Filipino communities outside of the city,” he said.

WINNIPEG - The Manitoba government is adding 10 positions to its prosecutions service, with a special focus on violent and gun-related crime.

Federal Justice Minister David Lametti said he would give the idea serious consideration. “We’re certainly experiencing some of that, where we encounter someone in the community as part of a criminal investigation, only to discover that they’re already on bail for a violent or a gun-related offence,” Smyth said Tuesday. Crown attorneys in the province have long complained about high workloads and Goertzen says the new personnel could be in place within a few months to ease the burden.

Our provincial government announced today new funding in order to target firearms trafficking and violent crime in Manitoba.
