  • Fredericton police closed Pine Street in the Devon neighbourhood during an active operation and asked the public to avoid the area until further notice.
  • Winnipeg firefighters brought a multi-family home blaze on Hallet Street under control in about 40 minutes, evacuated some residents, reported no injuries, and said the cause remains under investigation with Emergency Social Services assisting those displaced.
  • Winnipeg police sought tips and video after a woman was sexually assaulted on a foot path near Beliveau Road late on Aug. 15, releasing a suspect description and last known direction of travel toward a nearby Home Depot parking lot.
  • After a summer bus network overhaul, Winnipeg Transit riders report delays, cancellations, overcrowding, and reduced accessibility, while the agency says no route changes are planned for at least a year during a system review.
