The people behind Vote Open, a campaign created to support the opening of Portage of Main to pedestrians, are holding a free concert just three days before Winnipeggers head to the polls.
A lawyer, a business owner and a life coach are all hoping to unseat city councillor Ross Eadie in Winnipeg's Mynarski ward, one of whom is working from a hospital bed.
The two candidates vying to be city councillor in St. Vital are both against the opening of Portage and Main to pedestrians, but beyond that have a very different vision of what they’d bring to the job.
While they may not have hit a dead end, slow-moving plans for a road construction project in the Old Kildonan ward have become a big issue in the race for Winnipeg City Council.
Over 80 per cent of Winnipeggers believe the divide between Indigenous and non-Indigenous citizens is a serious issue in the city, a number that has increased since the last civic election, according to a new poll.
The survey, which was conducted by Probe Research in collaboration with CTV Winnipeg and the Winnipeg Free Press, polled 653 adults in Winnipeg between Sept. 19 and 28 about who they plan to vote for in the upcoming election.
With election day just around the corner the wide-open race in Point Douglas is heating up, but some candidates are questioning whether it’s a fair race.
