On Thursday, April 19th, 2012 at approximately 9:30 a.m. emergency services responders were dispatched to the area of Notre Dame Avenue and Albert Street for the report of a working fire at a building.

Fire fighters worked quickly in an attempt to contain the fire within the 100 block of Albert Street.  The fire caused extensive damage and the properties are expected to be a total loss.






At this stage in the investigation the fire does not appear to be suspicious in nature.
This investigation is continuing by members of the Arson Strike Force Unit.

Winnipeg St. Patrick's Day Parade

On Saturday March 17th 2012, approximately 600 people turned up for Winnipeg's First ever St. Patrick's Day Parade.

The parade started at the Manitoba Legislative Building, went east on Broadway, north on Smith Street, west on St. Mary Avenue. and south onto Carlton Street before wrapping up at Shannon's Irish Pub.

An unseasonably warm weather pattern helped attract a larger crowd as temperatures reached 20 degrees Celsius.

In this video we hear from parade-goers Mike Boyle, Kimmy Marland and event organizer Margaret Gannon as they describe their experiences while marching in the parade:
