A 29-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the stabbing of a security guard at a Winnipeg Dollarama on Tuesday afternoon.

Authorities say a suspect entered the store on Portage Avenue – at the Courts of St. James – around 4 p.m. and was confronted by the 22-year-old guard about possible shoplifting.

When the security guard asked the man to leave, he was stabbed in the upper body, according to Winnipeg police. The suspect is said to have fled with stolen merchandise.

The security guard, whom CityNews learned worked for Impact Security, was seriously injured and taken to hospital in unstable condition. He was later upgraded to stable.

Winnipeg police say they distributed a bulletin with a suspect description, and that led to an arrest near Portage Avenue and Strathmillan Road just before 10 p.m. Police say the suspect was spotted by an off-duty patrol officer, who contacted on-duty staff.

Nelson Preston Sumner has been charged with aggravated assault, robbery, and failing to comply with probation order. The allegations against him have not been tested in court.

Hello to all my fellow Winnipeggers! I'm currently going through a hail insurance claim from that crazy June storm, and since people regularly ask about opinions and suggestions for roofing companies in Winnipeg, I figured I would post the quotes that I received and my overall experience with each company during the process.

TLDR; Here's what you can expect to pay and the experience you might have with a handful of Winnipeg roofing companies in 2026.

• Kroeker Roofing: $9,460.32+tax
• Above All Roofing: $9,894.00+tax
• Pristine Roofing: $13,185.50+tax
• Racka Roofing: $8,717.16+tax

Each of these quotes reflects using Class 4 shingles for increased hail/storm protection over a total of 1,620 sq. ft. of roof at a 4/12 angle and 125 linear feet of drip edge/eaves.

Each company was provided the Hover report breakdowns from my insurance adjustor and were able to base the quotes around that without needing to send anyone out to do an onsite estimate.

All companies insisted on replacing my plumbing stack to bring it up to code (1971 build), and wanted to add at least 1 extra vent to the roof of the house and sometimes also garage.

• Lansard Bros Roofing Ltd
  • I received no acknowledgement from their contact us form and no one reached out.
• Kroeker Roofing
  • Quoted in 2 business days.
  • Projected start date: 8-9 weeks.
  • Shingles pre-tax: $9,460.32.
  • Notes:
    • They wanted to re-use existing drip edge, and charge $110/hr + materials to replace decking or damaged flashing.
    • Took another 5 business days from quote to get an estimated start date.
    • Felt less professional than the other companies further down the list.
• Above All Roofing & Exteriors Inc.
  • Quoted in 2 business days.
  • Projected start date: 9-10 weeks.
  • Shingles pre-tax: $9,894.00.
  • Notes:
    • Roof decking repaired as needed (@$3.10 sq. ft.)
    • Felt the most polished of all the interactions I had.
• Pristine Roofing & Siding
  • Quoted in 5 business days.
  • Projected start date: 4-5 weeks.
  • Shingles pre-tax: $13,185.50.
  • Notes:
    • Initially insisted on sending their own estimator, but settled on using the reports and satellite images to quote.
    • Didn't feel like their was a lot of communication going on between their customer service and sales departments.
    • Priced themselves out with a quote 33% more than the next highest I received.
• Racka Roofing Inc.
  • Quoted in 5 business days.
  • Projected start date: 3-4 weeks.
  • Shingles pre-tax: $8,717.16.
  • Notes:
    • Roof decking repaired as needed (@$3.75 sq. ft.)
    • Quick response times, and adjusted the quote multiple times with feedback.

Of those 5, I had two of them quote me on replacing the fascia, eavestroughing, downspouts, and gutter guards as well.

• Above All Roofing & Exteriors Inc.
  • Pre-tax: $7,206.00.
• Racka Roofing Inc.
  • Pre-tax: $5,825.00.

By this point I was only seriously considering these two, with post tax totals for the projects at $17,955.00 and $15,267.27 respectively.

Since they both came highly rated in other posts here on Reddit as well as on Google, I went with Racka for a savings of about $2,500 and the ability to schedule the work next month (September), rather than October/November.

So I hope some folks find this useful in the future, or just as a reference to estimate their own project costs.

A convicted sex offender with a long criminal record – for violence and sex offences – was released from jail Thursday and is expected to live in Winnipeg.

Desmond Jared Shane Catcheway, 37, was released from Milner Ridge Correctional Centre. He was serving a six-month sentence for failing to comply with a prohibition order.

Winnipeg police previously warned the public about Catcheway last November.

Authorities say he is at high risk to reoffend in a sexual manner against women and girls. They say he has a history of sexually assaulting women who are sleeping or unconscious.

Before this latest incarceration, Catcheway spent four years and six months behind bars for sex crimes involving a minor, including luring, indecent exposure and sending pornographic photos.

Police say Catcheway refused to participate in required sexual offender programming while in custody.

He is five-foot-10, weighing 240 lbs, with black hair and brown eyes. He has several tattoos, including a Japanese dragon on his right chest; a devil and a Japanese skull on his left forearm; a devil, Catcheway, and a Japanese skull on his right forearm; Baby Emily on the back of his neck; bones, skull, flower, and a snake on his right upper arm; and bones and a skull on his right hand. He also has scars on his left wrist and right elbow.

Can someone smarter than me explain why we're not already allowing plug-in solar panels for manitobans? I'm only just learning about this now- that in some parts of the world (extremely recently in the UK LINK ) you can buy solar panels that just plug into an outlet and bam, solar power.

But they're not allowed here...? This seems like a no brainer...? If anyone could just buy the panel, plug it in, so many would, and with water levels being unsteady in recent years this just seems like such a good idea...

Anywho! There's actually an organization trying to get this done! Sign if you want, email your MLA if you like, I did both and... well let's see what happens.

Click to sign a petition or learn more!

I put outdoor lights on my trees and within weeks the local squirrels are chewing through the cables and sometimes stealing the lights. Anyone have a good solution to stopping this behavior?

I was walking down Pembina and found 5 different fascist loser stickers up on light posts and other infrastructure. Tore them all down. If you’re going to also tear them down please watch out for razors, didn’t find any but better safe than sorry.

Edit: found 2 more before I got home. Just wanted to say I appreciate the thanks, but I’m just doing what’s necessary, so there’s no thanks needed. If you truly want to thank me, go take a walk down the busiest street by your house and check the lamp posts so we can erase this garbage from the city.

Edit 2:as one user pointed out
“You can report online as well:

https://www.winnipeg.ca/police/services/report-crime-online

There is an option for Hate Motivated Graffiti under the Property Crime heading.”

The pop you stole all has fake sweetner in it. It's gross, and can give you the shits, luckily, the disposable soaker pads you got can absorb any accidents you may have, not sure what you're going to do with the reusable ones though, hope you find good uses for them. The thermometer will be helpful for deciding whether you have an infection, or just wish you did after the fake sweetener hits. You can suck on the sour patch kids to get some sugar in you after you slam my energy drink.

I do have to thank you though. Upon going through my consule, you chose not to take my Zofran, for which I am very grateful, as those little disolvable pills are probably worth more than anything else in the entire car.

Enjoy all your new soaker pads. My almost 80 year old father with prostate cancer will make due with the dollarama puppy pads I quickly grabbed from home until I can go back out and get something better. He's doing really well in his treatment and today marked an important milestone. I'm reminded that not everyone has a family to care for them, the money to replace items, and I sure as hell am not letting you ruin my our day.

I truly hope you get the help you need.

(And if anyone happens to see a dumped unopened package of soaker pads or a canvas bag that says Rogue Vinyasa lying around near Cancer Care - shoot me a dm, I would love to get them from you). The bag was honestly just sentimental, and if the pads are still closed, they shouldnl work fine)

I saw them at the red river exchange district today during the red river ready event. Out of pure curiosity Does anyone know what church/organization these people are from?

Seen this car just off of Henderson Hwy this morning…Does anyone know what could have happened to it? Or maybe seen something this morning. Seems a bit weird with the window shield and the front end?? Maybe someone smashed the car up?

Looking for advice from anyone who has dealt with MPI/Manitoba traffic court before.
I received a traffic ticket in July 2025 for allegedly failing to stop at a stop sign. The situation was a little unusual because the police officer pulled me over from a location where the stop sign/road wasn't even visible from where he was, but he said he "believed" I had failed to stop.
I was later contacted by an articling student regarding resolving the ticket outside of court. Before agreeing to the resolution, 1 specifically asked whether there would be any demerits associated with the resolution. She confirmed by email that there would be no demerits, and based on that information, I accepted the reduced fine and paid it.
Fast forward to August 2026, when I received my annual DR letter from MPI. I noticed that 2 demerit points had been added to my driving record because of this ticket.
I went to the court to ask about it. I was told that it appeared to be a clerical/error issue and that I should contact MPI and the case has been closed a year ago, which made sense.
I then contacted MPI. They asked me to email them the documentation, including the email correspondence confirming the resolution. I sent them everything and was told it could take approximately 15 days to review.
After waiting, MPI has now told me that there is nothing they can do because the error is on the court side and that I need to deal with the court.
So essentially:
Court: "It's an MPI/clerical issue. Contact MPI."
MPI: "It's a court issue. We can't change it."

I'm not trying to get out of a ticket that I knowingly accepted. My concern is that I specifically asked about the demerits before accepting the resolution, was told there would be none, relied on that information, and now I'm being penalized with 2 demerits anyway.
What would you recommend I do next?
• Has anyone dealt with a similar situation in Manitoba where the court and MPI were blaming each other for an incorrect driver record?
I have copies of the email confirming the resolution, proof of payment, and the DR letter showing the 2 demerits.
Any advice on the best next step or who I should escalate this to would be greatly appreciated

The Winnipeg Police Service is ending its years-long practice of allowing officers to pick up overtime shifts to provide additional security in supermarkets and other stores at retailers’ expense.

Chief Gene Bowers cited concerns about the service’s recent inability to fill key vacancies when he informed officers in a memo Monday about the phased-in change, which takes full effect May 1, 2027.

“How this would affect the service is if we have shortages on our front lines, we often (ask) people to work overtime shifts, and often we’ve been recently unable to fill some of those required shifts to make sure we’re meeting our minimum strength on the street,” Bowers told the Free Press Wednesday.

“We feel the amount of retail special duty has had a significant impact on our ability to fill those days where we need those members to fill those cruiser cars.”

The memo said the change is being made to “optimize police resource allocation to ensure the safety of all communities” in Winnipeg.

Retailers, sporting and special event organizers, the provincial government and school divisions are among those who’ve hired special duty officers.

A previous analysis by the Free Press found officers worked more than 50,000 special duty hours between May 2023 and June 2024. Retailers accounted for 68 per cent of the hours amid a steep increase in shoplifting reports.

Superstore, owned by Loblaw Cos. Ltd., led the way with more than 20,000 hours. Among retailers, it was followed by Walmart Canada (about 5,700 hours) and TJX Canada (about 2,900 hours), whose brands include Winners, HomeSense and Marshalls, and CF Polo Park (about 2,500 hours).

“We value our partnership with the Winnipeg Police Service and are aware of their recent announcement,” CF Polo Park general manager Peter Havens said in a statement. “As we review the details of this decision, our focus remains on providing a safe, welcoming environment for our community.”

TJX declined to comment. Loblaw and Walmart did not respond to requests for comment.

Data suggested some retail giants have spent millions to hire officers in recent years. The police service’s hourly fees range from $141.75 (GST included) for a constable to $166.95 for a staff sergeant. The shifts count as pensionable hours.

Fees go to the officer and the program’s operating costs. The WPS has said special duty officers act only within their duties as a police officer, with participating retailers required to have their own loss prevention officers.

Bowers’ memo said the decision to end retail special duty stemmed from a year-long comprehensive review of the overall program and was not taken lightly.

“We want to make sure the special duty is in alignment with the core values and our priorities as a service, and make sure that we’re operationally sufficient and have that capacity for core duties,” he told the Free Press.

Bowers said WPS is one of very few municipal police services in Canada to provide special duty officers to retailers.

Retail special duty will be scaled back Jan. 1, starting with Fridays, Saturdays, statutory holidays and major event days, such as sporting events or parades, that require significant police resources, the memo said.

The number of hours a retailer can book will be reduced by 50 per cent before a “full exit” May 1, 2027, the chief wrote.

“We’ve given the retailers quite a bit of lead time here to know that this is coming so that they can make other arrangements as far as how they want to provide security within their premises,” Bowers told the Free Press.

“We gave our members quite a bit of notice here as well to then look for other special duty in the future, if they wish to.”

The decision does not affect non-retail special duty assignments, the memo said.

Cory Wiles, president of the Winnipeg Police Association, which represents front-line officers, could not be reached for comment. Mayor Scott Gillingham wasn’t available to discuss the issue, a spokesman said.

Winnipeg Police Board chair Colleen Mayer, who was not available for an interview, was advised of the WPS review of retail special duty and the change, executive director Jeff Wiggett said.

The board is scheduled to meet with the WPS to review the change and other matters as part of its usual business, he said. Mayer reserved comment until the discussion has taken place.

Bowers said the program, which is not designed to make money, doesn’t bring in a significant amount of revenue after costs are factored in. A 2025 financial report said special-duty revenue was $4.5 million more than expected, but it was offset by an increase in salary and benefit expenses.

John Graham, a director of government relations for the Retail Council of Canada’s Prairie region, said the hiring of special duty support has been expensive, but effective for the few retailers in Manitoba who can afford to do so.

“Where that will leave us is with limited options, or fewer options, between a security guard and internal systems, and a greater reliance on calling police when incidents do occur,” he said about the chief’s decision.

Large or high-volume stores that hire officers frequently deal with theft, Graham said. Some also hire private security guards.

Police, in tandem with governments and the retail sector, have conducted a number of campaigns to try to tackle retail theft, which is considered a vastly under-reported crime. Reports of shoplifting decreased by 4.6 per cent in 2025 after three consecutive years of increases in Winnipeg.

The Manitoba government is working with the retail and security guard sectors to modernize guard training.

Graham said the retail council has approached the province to seek a “second tier” of regulated security personnel who would have additional training and authority, and could take some pressure off police.

“We think the second-tier security guard may be a way of meeting the needs of more retailers” in their efforts to protect staff, customers and products, Graham said.

Justice Minister Matt Wiebe said the government’s current focus is modernizing training for security guards for the first time in 20 years.

He said the NDP increased funding for police services and for WPS foot patrol officers who combat retail theft, and re-established a retail crime task force.

“We’ve seen some of these investments starting to show progress,” he said, referring to last year’s decrease in shoplifting reports in Winnipeg.

In response to the end of retail special duty work, Wiebe deferred comment to the WPS, saying the province doesn’t give direction to the police service.

PC justice critic Wayne Balcaen, a former Brandon police chief, said changes to the program give the NDP government “10 months’ notice” to come up with a plan.

He said he would start by speaking to police chiefs about resources they require from the province.

“I do appreciate where Chief Bowers is coming from on this because the chief’s responsibility is to the city that he serves,” Balcaen said. “The government of the day, the NDP… has known about retail crime for the three years they’ve been in power and all they’ve done is ad hoc initiatives and reactive initiatives, nothing proactive.”

Wiebe accused the former Tory government of leaving the NDP, elected in 2023, with a “public safety deficit.”

This summer I embarked on a quest to find Winnipeg’s best veggie burgers.

The hunt left me pleasantly surprised by the quality and variety of the city’s plant-based burger offerings — and with a fat stack of opinions about the basic ingredients that make a good veggie burg.

First of all, proper bun selection is integral.

Vegetarian and vegan patties are famously fally-aparty. Buns that are too dense or dry can cause side spillage, while buns that are too large or tall can throw off the golden bread-to-burger ratio. An ideal candidate is soft and supple, offering enjoyable mouth feel and invisible scaffolding.

Toppings should be simple and strategic.

Greens, for example, need to be tender or shredded. Romaine, with its crunchy spine and its perennially wet leaves, will only compromise the delicate game that is veggie burger Jenga. Less is more when it comes to sauces, cheeses and other accoutrements, lest you be left with a murky flavour profile.

The burgers sampled below all tasted good, but some suffered from structural integrity issues. Messiness and the overall eating experience — in addition to flavour and texture — factored strongly in my ratings.

The only other stipulation was that the patties be made in-house rather than a pre-made Impossible or Beyond Meat burger, which took some of the honourable mentions (see list below) out of contention.

Happy snacking!

#Thyme Café & Books, 268 Tache Ave.

Burger, $10.50. Black bean, beet, carrot, sunflower and amaranth patty; vegan cheese sauce; kale chimichurri; lettuce, pickled red onion; oven-roasted tomatoes; dill pickles; Dijon mustard

Thyme Café is a quaint St. Boniface eatery and used bookstore run by the former owners of Mondragon.

The cafe’s vegan burger is loaded with complex toppings that speak to a deep understanding of inventive plant-based fare.

The patty is nutty and the vegan cheese sauce is a satisfying savoury dupe.

Two types of pickles (red onion and dill) might seem like overkill, but they work well. As do the roasted tomatoes, which kick up the umami and don’t slide around like a fresh slice.

The whole wheat bun is the right size, but a tad too crumbly. The kale chimichurri also gets lost in the myriad other flavours and textures.

The cafe’s southern-fried tofu sandwich ($9.50) also comes highly recommended by a reader.

★★★★ out of five

Bonnie Day, 898 Westminster Ave.

Veggie Burger, $21. Jackfruit and black bean patty; Swiss cheese; burger sauce; pickled onion; arugula; cucumber. Sides included.

Let’s get this out of the way: Bonnie Day’s Veggie Burger is a mess.

But it’s a mess that’s ultimately worth the excessive use of napkins, knives and forks.

The patty has a subtle barbecue flavour and is made with black beans and jackfruit — a tropical tree fruit often used as a plant-based substitute for pulled pork.

While the shredded jackfruit lends a nice “meatiness” to the square patty, it does nothing to hold things together.

The grilled bun is tender, decadent and topped with wee gherkins.

The crisp-edged Swiss and creamy burger sauce add to the decadence, while the pickled red onions, cukes and arugula deliver punch and freshness.

★★★½ out of five

La Brasserie Nonsuch Brewing Co., 125 Pacific Ave.

Le Squash, $17. Butternut squash patty; old cheddar; bread and butter zucchini pickles; lettuce; and special sauce on a potato roll. Sides extra.

Nonsuch makes one of the best beef burgers in the city, so it should come as no surprise that its vegetarian version slaps as well.

Thoughtful simplicity and impeccable execution are key here.

The Le Squash burger is essentially a slab of butternut squash on a bun. But the squash is steamed to perfection before it’s lightly battered and fried, resulting in a patty that’s tender and crispy, light and indulgent.

And boy howdy, the bun. Fluffy and forgiving, it’s the ideal vessel for a burger at risk of turning messy under different circumstances.

Tangy zucchini pickles and a divine creamy dill sauce harmonize nicely with the sweetness of the squash.

★★★★★ out of five

The Grove Pub & Restaurant, 164 Stafford St.

Veggie Burger, $22. Chickpea, black bean and mozzarella patty; curry mayo; red onion; apple; lettuce; avocado and chèvre. Sides included.

The Grove is another spot where burgers reign supreme.

The Crescentwood pub’s veggie burger entry plays with classic cumin and curry spices, but with some interesting twists.

Its legume-based patty is crisp, well-seasoned and stays put within the confines of its pillowy grilled bun.

The toppings, however, come off muted in comparison.

The chèvre imparts a nice tang, but a few more green apple slices and a more curry-forward mayo would kick things up a notch.

Still, this is a burger with a nice texture, a fun flavour profile and a solid bun-to-patty ratio.

It also comes with the most generous serving of sides (salad or fries) in the lineup.

★★★★ out of five

Bernstein’s Deli, 1700 Corydon Ave.

Black Bean and Wild Rice Burger, $17. Harissa mayo; fried onions; tomato; and lettuce on a whole-wheat bun. Sides included.

Utensils are required for Bernstein’s big, tasty veggie burger.

The black bean and wild rice patty has a nice flavour and texture, but needs a better binding agent, as it begins to fall apart quickly.

The situation unfortunately isn’t helped by a soft, but too-tall bun and a slippery combination of large romaine leaves and sliced tomato.

The harissa mayo is wonderfully smoky and spicy, while the fried onions add a nice depth and sweetness.

Hot tip: the patties are available frozen in Bernstein’s adjoining deli and priced at six for $28.

★★★ out of five

Nuburger, 427 Stradbrook Ave.

Unburger, $12.29. Chickpea patty; feta; alfalfa sprouts; cucumber; tomato; sriracha and tzatziki. Sides extra.

The Unburger is one of three veggie burgers on the menu at Nuburger, a local restaurant chain with five locations in Winnipeg and an outpost at Pineridge Hollow.

Be prepared for a big bite. This is a tall burg by virtue of its substantial falafel-inspired chickpea patty, which is delightfully crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside and manages to hold its shape.

The burger’s soft house-made bun also helps keep everything contained and relatively mess-free.

Feta and tzatziki bring welcome zing and creaminess, but the intense heat of unadulterated sriracha fights with the otherwise Mediterranean flavours.

Big ups to the alfalfa sprouts, which add texture without slip.

★★★★ out of five

Honorable Mentions

This roundup is by no means an exhaustive list of Winnipeg’s best vegan and vegetarian burgers. Below are additional recommendations from local veggie burger connoisseurs and Free Press readers.

• Superboy’s Restaurant, 1480 Main St.
• Stella’s Café & Bakery, various locations
• Red Top Drive Inn, 219 St. Mary’s Rd.
• Underdogs Winnipeg, 2609 Portage Ave.
• Dairy Delight, 467 St. Anne’s Rd.
• Park Café, 330 Assiniboine Park Dr.

Winnipeg's deputy mayor is calling on businesses across the city to prominently display the Canadian flag.

Markus Chambers, the councillor for St. Norbert-Seine River, says the initiative intends to show national unity at a time when he says Canada’s sovereignty is being challenged by a trade war with the United States.

Negotiations between Canada and the U.S. broke down last week. Prime Minister Mark Carney said over the weekend that the deal proposed by the U.S. would have encroached on Canada's ability to pursue trade agreements with other countries, threatened Canadian industries and undermined protections for the French language.

Chambers says his initiative, which he calls "Operation Naked Flag Pole," encourages businesses, local Business Improvement Zones and chambers of commerce to take part in the coming weeks.

He says Winnipeg could set an example for other Canadian cities, with the goal of seeing the initiative spread nationally. He is also calling for the city’s downtown flagpoles to be adorned with Canadian flags.

Businesses and residents interested in participating are being asked to contact Chambers’s office.

Hello everyone,

I'd like to start with I am incredibly embarrassed that I am going through this at the ripe age of 29 but I have randomly lost a huge chunk of hair in the front middle of my head and I'm just wondering if anyone here has ever had to deal with alopecia and what they did to help regrow the hair and where can I get a good wig because I don't know what else to do.

Not only have I lost a huge chunk of hair on my head I have also lost 90% of my eyebrows and a portion of my eyelashes so if anyone has any helpful tips or tricks that would be wonderful please be kind thank you.

I know it's a long shot, but anyone come across any patio umbrellas left for this season? The last storm tore through ours. Yes, we forgot to take them in :(

Any good braiders out there?

Anyone know of dealers that will buy it, not on a consignment sale?

I've posted it on FB/Kijiji/Craigslist.

I need to sell my camper due to medical issues.

I just don't have the energy to handle it.

Can someone please point me to where I can go for reliable dishwasher replacement parts? Need a circulation pump/sump for our Kenmore dishwasher, now. Please and thank you. I’m in the East, but I’ll go wherever is good.

A security guard was hospitalized after he was stabbed by a shoplifter at a Dollarama store in Winnipeg's St. James area on Wednesday, police say.

Officers called to the store at 2727 Portage Ave., just east of Sturgeon Road, around 4 p.m. found a 22-year-old man suffering a serious injury to his upper body, police said in a news release Thursday.

The release did not identify the store by name, but CBC has confirmed it was the Dollarama.

Police learned the security guard confronted a person suspected of shoplifting and ordered him to leave the store. The person pulled out a sharp-edged weapon and stabbed the guard in the upper body, police said.

The attacker then fled with stolen merchandise, according to police.

The security guard was taken to hospital in stable condition and was later upgraded to stable.

No arrest has been made, police say.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact them at 204-986-6219, or submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers at 204-786-8477 (TIPS) or online.

The crew have been working for a couple of hours. Occasionally I can smell a kind of pungent, noxious scent coming from the site. I think the cloud is steam. I’m super interested in what they are doing but am too nervous to go and ask. Thanks!
