TransAir fare dispute prompts schedule shakeup in Manitoba
Public objections halted TransAir’s proposed fare rise for northern Manitoba routes and triggered a revised winter schedule. The Pas to Winnipeg now runs one daily flight at 11 50 AM with a 7 AM Winnipeg departure and morning arrivals in The Pas. Critics urge local governments to pressure the airline for a better balance, noting rapid staff growth and broader market push while questioning fare increases.

Northern head tax on flights sparks Manitoba debate

The piece questions fairness across northern Manitoba airports, calls for regionally based pricing or a northern crown corporation, and urges town officials to curb administrative overreach amid mounting travel costs.

Cry Wolf Incident at The Pas Arena Sparks Governance Debate
RCMP were called to The Pas Arena after a disturbance involving a security staffer and a would be hockey fan. Two police calls were made, one by the guard and one by the rink manager. The guard later told the constable his services were no longer required. The Recreation Commission now has an Arena Manager whose authority is expected to supersede security. The incident raises questions about public alarm, proper authority, and avoiding false calls in a public facility.
