More cases of measles reported in Manitoba

Manitoba is reporting an increase in the number of new measles cases in the province. According to the province's website, seven new cases have been added since Wednesday, bringing total cases in Manitoba this year to 105 as of June 14. The update comes one day after health officials reported new potential exposures at four locations in the province. The exposures happened at Manitou Motor Inn's bar on June 9 from 3 until 6:30 p.m., Triangle Oasis Restaurant in Winkler on June 11 from 6 to 8:30 p.m., Steinbach Church of God on June 1 from 9:45 a.m. to 2 p.m., and VB's Entertainment Center in Winkler on June 9 from 5 to 10 p.m. Those at the church during the time are asked to monitor for symptoms until June 23, while people at the bar and entertainment centre are asked to monitor until July 1. Those at the restaurant during the times mentioned are asked to monitor for symptoms until July 3. Measles symptoms typically appear between seven and 21 days following exposure, and include fever, drowsiness, a runny nose and red eyes. A red rash can also develop. Manitobans are encouraged to check their vaccination status and ensure they have an updated measles vaccine. - With files from CTV's Katherine Dow.

Winnipeg preparing people for transit route changes with new video

A Winnipeg Transit bus outfitted with information about the new primary network is shown on Osborne Steet on May 1, 2025. (Owen Swinn/CTV News Winnipeg) The end of June isn't far away, which means the city's new transit network will soon be taking full effect. The new primary network and its feeder routes for Winnipeg Transit will launch on June 29. In preparation for the major overhaul, the city released an explainer video Wednesday to get people prepared. The goal is to run transit buses on primary routes that are considered simpler, straighter and with fewer stops. The hope is this will allow transit to run faster so people will have to wait less and reach their destinations faster. At the same time, the feeder route system is designed to hit community connector routes to avoid congested areas, allowing buses to stay on time. The feeder routes will connect to the primary network. In the city's video, people are told they need to know three things ahead of the launch. Firstly, people are being told bus stops will change. 'Stops may be added, removed, or shifted to a new location,' the video said. People are told to monitor temporary signs at stops to see the changes. Secondly, schedules for the new routes are already available online, allowing people to plan their travels. Lastly, the entire system map is also available online. City council approved the changes last year and they come with a $20.4 million price tag. - With files from CTV's Katherine Dow
