Well, looks like our speculations were a little off the mark as per the meeting minutes.

"Councillor Tame confirmed that he had received and submitted to the Legislative Services Office a communication from Cornell Bay residents who raised concerns about snow clearing in the area"

I'm going out with some friends tomorrow and I want to get my hair done, I have curly hair and I don't trust alot of people with my hair, any suggestions?

After the Just4Kidz play place and the McDonald’s play place shut down, I’ve found it super difficult to find things for my 3.5 year old and 6 month old to do.

Maybe I’m missing something and not searching in the right places, so I’m open to suggestions!

Thanks!

Like maybe a book club or manga/anime club? I’m trying to make friends with common interests

I've been on a plane (3 actually) for the past day and a half, got shuttled from winnipeg to brandon, in hopes for a night's rest. Lo and behold, it's ag days. Can anybody help a brother out?

By any chance does anyone have a presale password for the rodeo they could share?

At some point you'd think the city would deal with this. Having traffic backed up from Aberdeen all the way to the traffic circle on 9th is comical.

Of course, when asked about it...I get "you aren't the first person to ask, we will look into it!"

Anyone taking or took this course then went to rrc? How is it ?

Hey guys I bought this textbook with the workbook for above $200 if I remember well. I used it in Bookkeeping class. It’s The Key Accounting Principle Textbook. Currently looking to sell it. Don’t know if i can sell back to school.

Looking for some advice on options for bus or shuttle service into Wpg for a weekend from Brandon (new to Brandon) my googling is leading me to Westman Shuttle, is that the best/only option? Thank you for your insight!

Why are many shops in the mall closing down? Any reasons?

At last night's (Jan 6) City council meeting there was some brief back and forth about a petition regarding Cornell Bay.

The discussion was light on details - wondering if anyone can comment with more information?

What was discussed starts at 8:30 in the recording - https://youtu.be/4d4IX35_TEU?t=510

I'm going to guess it had something to do with the Jan 1st and 2nd police reports as they read as quite ... interesting.

I have a package with UniUni which was supposed to be delivered latest on the 22nd December 2024 but was not delivered. I tried calling them a couple of times but their customer service is as good as nothing. This same package has been out for delivery since on the 26th December, and up until today being the 4th of January, I am yet to receive it. No updates, no emails or phone calls, nothing at all. It is really frustrating because this was suppose to be a Christmas present and I have to wait for over an hour whenever I call them just to hear the same thing. I had to come online just to see terrible reviews about them. This is nine days after the last update saying it's out for delivery and there has been no attempt of delivery.

We just move here in Brandon from another province. We been looking pet friendly places (we have cats of 2) at least 2 bedrooms.

Whenever we tried to schedule for viewing we see on Facebook marketplace and ebrandon they will tell us is not available this week so it has to be scheduled. Then when the viewing day comes they will always tell us it’s rented.

It happened to us 7 times already, I don’t know if it’s coincidence or people just don’t like it to be rented to us.

We looked into rent cafe but non replied for the places we are interested with. We had looked into vionell none seems to be available for non furnished and mostly overpriced.

If anyone can here can guide us where to look. We would be very much appreciated.

Hi, so I just recently moved to Brandon, Manitoba, to rent out a property. Before coming out here, I was told it was only myself (downstairs) and someone else (upstairs) I move in to find two other people also living here, and the boys infested in roaches. This was my big break from being homeless (not due to addictions or my own doing, rough home life and have an eye disability causing it to be hard to work) As I was homeless, I’ve collected a few things while starting completely fresh, such as a few clothes, jackets, a single mattress, pillow, and bedding. Currently don’t have a bed frame, and due to my situation cannot afford anything else. Coming back to the roaches, which are littered ALL OVER the house, including ones I’ve found in and around the scarce amount of belongings I own, AS WELL AS ON AND IN MY BED, PILLOW CASE, SHEETS, and BLANKET. We have informed the landlord on MULTIPLE occasions, but he blames it on “forgetting to call” or “their busy” and now the latest, “due to holidays they can’t come out until sometime in January or February”

Is my landlord accountable for the replacement of the lackluster of belongings I own, that are now ruined?? TIA TL;DR House infested with roaches that destroyed the remainder of my belongings.

Hi guys I’m an ojibwe/Irish woman I’m trying to get my name out there for custom beadwork, I do custom moccasins/mukluks/medallions/earrings etc. I just started up my page on insta and Facebook called waaseyaakwe_creations_ if you or anyone you know is interested in a pair pls reach out! Here’s a pic of some recent outdoor mukluks I made, hope you like them ☺️

What's the deal with Brandon not plowing the streets until 3 or 4 days after a snowfall. Having lived in 3 other provinces and spent winters in 2 more as well as experiencing a full winter in a northern European country, Brandon gets a failing grade on snow clearance. Is this just a matter of the city not having invested in this service? Or is there some other explanation for not providing what is normally taken for granted as an expected service: waking up to plowed streets the morning after a snowfall.

Edit: spelling

I amoved here recently, I've been living here for 4 months now. Yes I did get a job, but what do ya know?! It was not worth my time at all considering the multiple health violations, illegal pay as in I have about 30 hours unaccounted for, and verbal abuse? And not a single other place is hiring? Why is it so hard to get a job here? I have my smart choices and mostly experience in restaurant settings, with a bit of retail and baking experience. Yet not a single place is hiring? This is so unbelievably frustrating. I just need a full time job, I'll even take part time if I can get 2 part time jobs. But no job at all is extremely frustrating and stressful and I can't understand why no one has even the decency to give an email or call back after saying they would, even if it's to say sorry you didn't get the job. At least then I wouldn't be sitting here waiting for a call that is never going to come.

Does anyone know of any hotels / motels that rent out rooms, for a couple of hours in the evening?

We hit a deer in our vehicle. MPI has said they will replace our child’s car seat with one that is a comparable price at a similar price. If we bought a convertible car seat after having a bucket seat would they cover it if it’s the same price?

Update: I called the claims agent and they let me know I need to replace with another bucket seat. Thanks for all the info everyone.
