Lightning strikes IGA Mall transformer in Manitoba
Manitoba Hydro crews faced a surprise when inspecting the IGA Mall transformer feeding the complex. Lightning caused severe cable damage, risking a power loss rather than fire. Replacement cable from Toronto delays repairs by about a month. Pash notes trench work is blocked by a concrete platform and repairs will require power shutdowns billed separately. Insurance covers the costs. Repairs will be done on a Sunday to avoid store disruptions.

Ski Hill site under watchful eye
Representatives from SAVED and the Asessippi Ski Hill Association met Environment Minister Glen Cummings and Natural Resources Minister Harry Enns to discuss concerns about the proposed ski hill. The association has applied for an environmental licence amid criticism from environmentalists over bird habitat including the Yellow-throated Vireo. Ministers pledged a thorough site assessment and sustainable development considerations while a Winnipeg Free Press piece cited a $25 million price tag, which has been disputed as $5.1 million by Daymon Guillas of the Asessippi Ski Association.
