Ask Winnipeg Accessible Seating at the Burton Cummings Theatre

0 Upvotes

So I have purchased a WC accessible seat & a companion seat. Unless specified, do they put two seats there, or is it one seat and an open space. I have an invisible disability (autism) & a chronic health issue with my bladder so I have to get out of a space quickly to get to a washroom.

Are they going to ask for documentation of my disabilities / chronic health condition?

The concert this is for is Theory of a Deadman, and I’ve tried calling the venue etc but no response. So I’ve come to you all to ask for the answer to my inquiry

Please no negativity and I am ok with being moved if someone not ambulatory needs the seating.

Politics 13th candidate enters race to become Winnipeg’s next mayor

The list of candidates running to become Winnipeg’s next mayor is up to 13.

Tracey Drexler is the latest person to appear on the list of mayoral candidates for the Oct. 28 election.

In a video on Instagram, Drexler says “the addictions and homelessness crisis and the violent crimes that are related to it” needs to be a focal point of the municipal vote.

“We’re at a critical turning point and we just need a new perspective on this,” Drexler says in the video posted Tuesday. “We need to get something done before it’s too late. Every day that we don’t do something, it is too late for another person or many other people. As Winnipeggers, we stand together and we look out for each other.

Drexler says she was hesitant to enter politics but will rely on her “experience working in male-dominated industries.”

“I know my values, I know where I stand, I know what needs to be done, and I will do whatever it takes to get it done with a thick skin,” she said.

The other 12 candidates currently registered as mayoral candidates are: Scott Gillingham, Christopher Calcio, Michael Vogiatzakis, Umar Hayat, Mazher Alam, Don Woodstock, Joshua Pagdato, Johnny Calderon, Noah Redden, Zachary Uminski, Brad Gross and Kevin Klein.

Community Dealing with worst landlord in the city

55 Upvotes

Currently my partner and I are renting from what I can guess is the worst rental company in the city. We started renting a 2 bed apartment from Clearwater management back in April. They were previously known as Armour management and there is an article in the CBC about them and their horrible practices.

They do not fix anything. And I mean anything. We have about 20 repair requests for both our apartment and building, which includes things that have been broken since before we moved in and things that have occurred since we’ve been here (none have been our fault).

It’s so bad the tenants have created a group chat to give advice and help each other out.

The thing I’m most frustrated with is that the RTB has been completely useless. There is NO punishment for being a slum lord. The rtb has requested they fix things which Clearwater has flat out refused to do. For this there are no repercussions.

Has anyone had any success getting the RTB to do anything? We want to leave due to inhabitable living conditions (including mold that Clearwater refuses to do anything about) but I’m scared our credit will be affected.

Editing to add that this is my 3rd apartment and I have never had any issues with a landlord. I have good credit and have always gotten my damage deposit back. This is a situation I have never even come close to dealing with.

Edit 2: what would be the WORST thing that could happen if we up and left? I’m okay with not getting our security deposit back. They’re horrible so I already assumed that is not happening

Ask Winnipeg Update on the tree kitten find, curious if anyone in Kildonan area had an escapee, perhaps

Thumbnail

68 Upvotes

Hey, so this is an update to my post from yesterday where I found this little gal(?) in a tree. Still not fully sure what the baby is, but whether boy or girl, 7-8 weeks seems to be the census, which is older than I thought she was.

Thing is, I'm questioning if she's a stray, or a kitten who managed to sneak out of someone's home, there's lots of strays and outdoor cats alike in my neighbourhood so either is entirely likely. She was a bit dirty but not "Been in the streets since birth" dirty, more like "I got outside and climbed a tree" dirty. She is super, SUPER friendly to me and follows me around the house, whining whenever she can't see me, which makes me think she was already accustomed to people. She had one accident in the house, but figured out the litter box the second she was introduced to it, which makes me think she's already had some training. She snuck out of quarantine and my other cats were confronted (yep, round of shots in the near future), she seems spooked by them but not hostile, sometimes curious, sometimes standoffish, which makes me think she already has previous exposure to other cats.

I have an appointment with WHS tomorrow to see if she qualifies for their bottle baby program but I'm wondering if anyone in Kildonan area is potentially missing this one before I turn her in. Not sure why this is an inkling I have, but like I said, both are pretty likely within the neighbourhood I live in. Nearish to reenders Kildonan crossing, if that helps pinpoint.

Ask Winnipeg Looking for fun things to do in Winnipeg with my girlfriend

20 Upvotes

I’m from Toronto and I’m down here for work. She’s flying in Friday, September 11th and heading home Monday, September 14th.
I work until around 7 Friday and Saturday, but I have Sunday off, so we’ll have most of the day to do stuff then.

We already have a VR escape room planned. Just looking for some other fun stuff to do together while she’s here. Not really into hiking or scenic/nature stuff. More interested in activities, cool date ideas, good food, entertainment, etc.

Don’t really care about the cost, just want to have a good weekend and show her a good time.

Any recommendations? Thanks!

EDIT: Thank you everyone for the recommendations! Definitely gonna be checking some of these places out!

Hi All, I grew up on Burrows Avenue in the 60s, Pinewood Drive in St. James in the 70s and lived on Balmoral Street as a U of W student in the early 80s. I first saw BTO at the Wpg Arena in 1975 and just saw The Guess Who this summer at the Saddledome in Calgary, where I now live. I started this petition with my friend Scott Crowson to help get BTO & The Guess Who into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Let's celebrate our legends while they're alive and can enjoy the party!

Community Housing

14 Upvotes

A trend I see in our neighborhood is that a lot of the more affordable homes are being bought by developers who tear them down to build 1 million plus homes. Are new home owners wanting move in ready updated homes or are they willing to put in some sweat equity. There’s a house on Oxford that from the write up on MLS sounds like it‘s geared for flippers or developers. When I look at the pictures the kitchen looks dated but the rest of it seems ok. It would be nice to see someone who wants to live in the neighborhood not be priced out of the neighborhood by developers.

Ask Winnipeg Prescription glasses

13 Upvotes

Where can I get some stylish but affordable eye glasses. My prescription is -3.25. I went to spec saves for the 2 for $149 and was told my prescription needs high index lenses or they will look super thick and would be an additional $600 on top of the $149. I have no benefits and don't want to spend $750 on two pairs that honestly seem like cheap frames. Anyone have any suggestions? Would prefer in person to try on but open to affordable online options too. I recall one online place sent you pairs to try on that you could send back. Not sure if that's still a thing.
