‘It's important for me because it's important for others': Walk unites Winnipeggers against brain tumours
Participants are gathered around after the walk, in Kildonan Park on Saturday. (Gary Robson/CTV News Winnipeg) Raising awareness and support in the fight against brain tumours — that's what Winnipeggers gathered for on Saturday. At Kildonan Park's Teddy Bass Athletic Field, participants assembled at 8:30 a.m. to take part in the 2025 Brain Tumour Walk, hosted by the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada. 'Our mission is to provide support to every Canadian affected by a brain tumour — whether that's through resources, education, research, funding or advocacy. Our goal is to make sure that nobody goes through a brain tumour journey alone,' said Nicole Farrell, interim CEO of the foundation. This year's walk in Winnipeg has raised over $70,000. 'It's important for me because it's important for others,' said Max Erenberg, a participant in the walk and brain tumour survivor. 'We're just so grateful for Winnipeg and the community for coming out today. We're looking forward to being back here next year, bigger and better,' said Farrell. The Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada hosts the event nationally.

‘Purely coincidental': The Calgary Tower will once again be lit up orange and blue, but not for the Oilers
The Calgary Tower will once again be lit up orange and blue during the Stanley Cup Final, but not for the Edmonton Oilers. On Friday night, the tower will be lit to commemorate the 25th Annual Calgary Brain Tumour Foundation Walk. 'We're proud to support such an important cause,' a post on the tower's social media reads. 'Any correlation to other uses of these colours around this time is, of course, purely coincidental.' The post notes that it may feel like déjà vu, since the tower was also lit up orange and blue last year during the playoffs in support of Action Anxiety Day. The Oilers are currently facing off against the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup Final. The Oilers claimed Game 1 on Wednesday night. Game 2 in Edmonton is scheduled for Friday night.
