I love a bouquet as much as the next person but can't ignore the environmental impact of fresh-cut blooms flown in from far-flung destinations. That's why I wrote this @winnipegfreepress.com piece. I can't wait to pick my own bunches when local flower farms open their gates this summer 💐😍👩‍🌾

I've always been a fan of service journalism (once a Time Out writer, always a Time Out writer) so am not ashamed to say I wish I'd thought of this first. Carol Cassell's Mapping Winnipeg site is a lifesaver for local families - mine included.

This year I shall (try to) consistently post stories I write on people and places and things and feelings for @winnipegfreepress.com. Declutterer extraordinaire and all-round good egg Mandy Berndsen was a great interviewee, who generously shared her super practical, easy-to-follow tidying-up tips.

Yes. Exactly. Couldn't have put it better myself.

In today's @winnipegfreepress.com: A very insightful convo about the allure and cultural importance of #HeatedRivalry with my fellow arts reporters @nuchablue.bsky.social, @jenzoratti.bsky.social and sports reporter @jeffkhamilton.bsky.social 🍑 🏒 🔥

My first @winnipegfreepress.com story for 2026 is about experiencing Manitoban winter as a newcomer. This was an eye-opening piece to work on and there's so much more I could've written. But for now here's a story of a lovely 8yo, and his wonderful family. www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-lif...

In addition, to the Free Press’s daily coverage, the Free Press Community Review weekly newspapers also cover small, local arts groups of all sorts — from amateur theatre troupes to local square-dancing clubs to shops specializing in manga comics. fpcommunityreview.com

I mean we have one of the few remaining books sections in the country, featuring local reviewers and books. I reported on local writing all year, both in my section and in arts and life, including a roundup on 10 notable local books from 2025 (which could have easily been 20) running Monday. 🤷

From the La Presse site: info.lapresse.ca/a-propos/not... I'd say the FP is doing pretty well considering our arts & life team has approx seven writers, one of which is part-time (me). Really upsetting to read this when we bust our guts to find and write the stories we do. Merry Christmas.

@evawasney.bsky.social being far more eloquent and gracious in her reply than I could ever be.

Morning, all. I am looking for a Manitoba-based registered dietician to interview ASAP for a @winnipegfreepress.com story . You must be registered. If this is you please DM or email me (add in my bio). Thank you very much. #journorequest #Winnipeg #Manitoba #Canada

This was such good fun. Really have been missing my nights out with @shelleyacook.bsky.social <3

Winnipeg police are on scene at the University of Manitoba Tuesday morning after reports of a man armed with a knife.
