‘It's just horrible': Residents protest closure of RBC bank in West End
People are seen protesting on July 3, 2025, outside an RBC branch in the West End that is set to close. (Danton Unger/CTV News Winnipeg) A group of residents are protesting the impending closure of an RBC branch in the West End, saying its departure will leave a hole in the community. Sheila Hazzard has been living in the Spence neighbourhood for 55 years. She's been banking at the RBC on the corner of Sargent and Sherbrook for just as long. But that could soon change. 'It's just horrible when you think of it,' she said. 'I don't think they put a lot of thought into who was here and who wants to stay and bank here.' A spokesperson for RBC told CTV News the branch is set to merge with its Ellice Avenue location near Polo Park. 'Our branch network continually evolves and changes as we seek to serve our clients where and how they wish to conduct their banking. And in some circumstances, this may involve combining branches, relocating certain branches, or opening new ones,' the spokesperson said in a written statement. Its closure has left many residents in the area upset, prompting the protest Thursday. 'A lot of the businesses and the people who live here really need and use this bank,' said Cheryl Martens, an area resident who helped organize the protest. She said the location is the last remaining bank in the neighbourhood which services a large population of newcomers, seniors and low-income residents. It isn't the only location set to close. The RBC on Main Street and James Avenue is also shutting down this month. Martens noted with the closures, residents will either need to bank downtown or take a 20-minute bus ride to the Ellice location. 'It becomes a tax on the poor, because now it's a $7 bus round trip to be able to do your banking,' said Ralph Bryant, one of the residents who joined the protest. Health Minister Uzoma Asagwara, MLA for Union Station, said they have been banking at the Sargent location for years. They wrote a letter asking for the bank to stay open, but so far, they said they've received no response. 'We're hoping that they continue to listen, meet with the community, listen to seniors in the neighbourhood, understand how devastating the closure of this location would be for folks living in this community,' Asagwara said. 'Make the right choice here. RBC needs to stay in the neighbourhood, stay in Union Station and continue to be a part of our community in a positive way.' For Hazzard, she said if the branch does close, she will be switching banks after more than five decades as a client. But she is hopeful it won't come to that. 'No matter how late it is, I have hope until the hour has passed,' she said. The RBC spokesperson told CTV News that following the closure, clients can choose whatever branch is most convenient to them. They said RBC is committed to working one-on-one with clients who need support during the transition.

Mustang Energy Corp. Receives Exploration Permit for 914W Uranium Project
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mustang Energy Corp. (CSE: MEC, OTC:MECPF, FRA:92T) (the ' Company ' or ' Mustang ') is pleased to announce it has received exploration permits from the Saskatchewan Government, allowing for ground-based exploration activities at the 914W Uranium Project (the ' Project ') south of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. The permit includes Crown Land Work Authorization, Aquatic Habitat Protection Permit, Forest Product Permit and Temporary Work Camp Permit. This authorizes Mustang to carry out mineral exploration activities such as trail construction, line-cutting, ground geophysical surveys, and diamond drilling. The approved permits are valid until April 30, 2028. As part of the permit conditions, Mustang will continue to engage with local communities to address any ongoing concerns and ensure sustainable project implementation. Consultation and environmental stewardship remains a priority, with specific measures to minimize disturbance and support reclamation efforts. Mustang purchased an interest in the Project pursuant to an option agreement (the ' Option Agreement ') with Skyharbour Resources Ltd. whereby Mustang may acquire a 75% interest in the Project by satisfying certain conditions. Please refer to the Company's news release dated November 13, 2024, as filed under the Company's SEDAR+ profile, for further details regarding the Option Agreement. About the 914W Uranium Project The Project consists of one claim covering 1,260 hectares. It is situated approximately 48 km southwest of Cameco's Key Lake Operation, offering favourable logistics and access via Highway 914. The Project is positioned within the Western Wollaston Domain, known for unconformity/basement hosted uranium mineralization. The Project hosts favorable geology with local graphite bearing assemblages. Immediately to the north of the 914W property is the Scurry Rainbow Zone E 1 and the Don Lake Trenches 2, where up to 1,288 ppm U was encountered in drill hole ML-1 1, and surface prospecting revealed up to 0.64% U 3 O 8 in a trench at Don Lake Zone E 2. While historical exploration conducted several geophysical and geological surveys over portions of the property, most of the Project remains underexplored. Mustang sees notable potential for advancing uranium and rare earth element (REE) exploration on this property. The Company advises that, notwithstanding the proximity of location, discoveries of minerals on or near the Scurry Rainbow Zone E, Don Lake Trenches, and Cameco's Key Lake Operation, and any promising results thereof are not necessarily indicative of the mineralization of, or located on the Project, or the Company's ability to commercially exploit the Project, or to locate any commercially exploitable deposits therefrom. The Company cautions investors on relying on this information as the Company has not confirmed the accuracy or reliability of the information.
