Operation Red nose Winnipeg


Operation Red Nose Winnipeg LogoIt is that time of year again. The streets are slippery, the malls are jam packed, and you’ve probably received notarized lists of random objects from friends and loved ones. You are correct to assume that Christmas is upon us. With the Holiday season comes dozens of staff parties, friend’s staff parties, family parties, so and so on etc, etc. For many ...

Club Regent Hotel and Casino


It doesn't matter if it is +30 or -30 if you need something to do on a evening in Winnipeg why not try hitting up the casino! There is nothing like taking twenty dollars into the casino, exchanging it for piles of nickels, and spending an evening winning and losing some cash. If pulling a lever isn't really your style, try your hand black jack or poker, or if you ...

Winnipeg wants a Family Day


Alberta has had one for years, Saskatchewan get their first one this year, so why wouldn’t Manitoba want to jump on the good ship Holiday in February? That is what the folks at 92 Citi FM have been saying lately, and their cries have not gone unanswered.

CSI: Manitoba Museum


CSI post

Unless you've spent the past seven years under a rock, you are most likely harbouring some resentment towards the forensic scientists (ok, ok...the casts) of CBS's assorted CSI teams. What makes them so special that they deserve a job that much cooler than your own? Well, if you're kickin' around Winnipeg between now and May 28, stop living vicariously through Grissom and get your butt in to ...

The Underground Cafe in Winnipeg Exchange District


One of my favorite places to hang out in Winnipeg is the Exchange District. There always seems to be something fun going on, whether it be the Winnipeg Jazz Festival, the Winnipeg Fringe Festival, or just hanging out with friends at the King's Head Pub. There is an energy and excitement about the area that not everyone in Winnipeg has tapped into yet.

There are a lot of ...
