‘I just had to laugh': flowers planted in Winnipeg pothole
Potholes do not normally make Winnipeggers laugh, but after Tracy Douglass noticed one with freshly planted flowers and soil, she said she just had to giggle.
Douglass said she was walking on Donnelly Street at around 10 a.m. Monday when the brightly-coloured petals caught her eye.
'I thought someone's just taking a lighthearted approach to something that's annoying to most people,' she said.
She said she has seen photos of people making light of potholes in other ways, like a painted picture around one or placing a sandbag in the hole, but none involving flowers.
Douglass said the flowers must have been planted in the pothole no earlier than Friday, adding that they weren't there during her walk last week.
As of April 8, the City of Winnipeg has filled more than 45,000 potholes this year.
CTV News Winnipeg went to the area Monday afternoon, but the flowers were nowhere to be found.

Winnipeg School Division honours Indigenous graduates in the city and beyond
Parker Ledoux, 17 from Creighton, Sask. who graduating from Creighton Community School, poses for a portrait in Winnipeg on Monday, June 16, 2025 at the University of Winnipeg Duckworth Centre as part of a special celebration put on by the Winnipeg School Division to honour 2025 Indigenous graduates, as well as graduates from northern Manitoba communities who have been evacuated due to ongoing wildfires. THE CANADIAN PRESS/David Lipnowski WINNIPEG — Parker Ledoux never imagined spending the last month of her Grade 12 school year cooped up in a Winnipeg hotel room far from her home. But when an out-of-control wildfire encroached on Creighton, Sask., at the end of last month and forced its some 1,200 people to flee, that's exactly what happened. With graduation celebrations supposed to take place next week and community members still displaced, Ledoux is not sure what the quintessential teenage experience will look like for her and her classmates. The Winnipeg School Division recognized the uncertainty high school evacuees may be facing and opened up its own ceremony honouring Indigenous graduates to students forced out of their homes by the wildfires. 'I am so grateful to be here today,' said Ledoux, a Red River Métis citizen. 'Just the opportunity to do something ... I'm grateful that they thought of us evacuees.' The school division was to host its annual outdoor powwow last week, but had to postpone it due to wildfire smoke from the north impacting air quality in the province's capital. The division decided to host a smaller, scaled-back version Monday with a grand entry, drumming and singing honour songs and speeches. Officials saw the new event as an opportunity to also recognize the resilience, dedication and achievements of students beyond the school division. 'Welcoming these evacuated students is our way of honouring their hard work, extending our community and showing them that we care,' said Rob Riel, assistant superintendent of Indigenous Education, in a statement. After Creighton residents were ordered to leave, classes at the local high school were cancelled. Ledoux is hoping for a postponed graduation ceremony for her and her 40 some classmates. The 17-year-old was named valedictorian and was looking forward to reading the speech she prepared three months ago. 'It's something you look forward to growing up,' she said. 'You (make) it to Grade 12, and then last month of school, and all of the sudden, everyone had to go.' The teen considers herself one of the lucky ones. Some of her classmates who live in nearby Denare Beach lost their homes when the blaze ripped through the small village. Infernos in northern Saskatchewan and Manitoba forced tens of thousands from their homes. Recent rain and cooler temperatures have allowed some to return. In Manitoba, the roughly 2,300 people who call Tataskweyak Cree Nation home are still displaced. Keanu Kirkness, 18, has been staying with relatives in Winnipeg for two weeks. Graduation celebrations are scheduled to take place at the end of the month. Whether that happens remains to be seen. 'We were just going to do it in our school gym,' said Kirkness. 'I don't think we're going to do that.' Kirkness's principal encouraged him and some of his classmates to attend Monday's event on the chance that they can share their stories with other graduates. Coming from an isolated, close-knit community, Kirkness said he finds the city and large-scale events crowded but a good opportunity to meet new people. 'I'm feeling alright knowing that I can try to talk to somebody — just to try to get out of my bubble.' This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 17, 2025.

128-year-old shipwreck on Vancouver Island charred by fire
The charred remains of a shipwreck, that has been part of Vancouver Island's history for more than a century, are shown in a June 10, 2025, handout photo. THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO-Geoff Johnson, *MANDATORY CREDIT* A shipwreck that has been part of Vancouver Island's history for more than a century is a charred skeleton after a fire earlier this month. Photographer Geoff Johnson said he went to look after hearing of the fire at the wreck that has been sitting on Big Beach in Ucluelet for almost 130 years. 'It was really dramatic,' recalled Johnson in an interview, adding that the wooden wreckage seemed to be 'more corpse-like now than it was before.' Ucluelet fire Chief Rick Geddes said crews attended the fire in the early morning of June 10 and the cause of the blaze is being investigated. The shipwreck suffered 'significant damage' from the fire, although it's still very much intact, Geddes said. 'It's not uncommon for us to get called to beach fires that have been abandoned overnight,' said Geddes, 'But it was somewhat uncommon for us to attend and have an issue with actual wreckage of this ship that's been on the beach for 100 plus years.' The history of the vessel, where it sailed from, and how it was stranded, has been lost. An information plaque set up next to the wreck says it's believe the ship was swept ashore by storms in 1896. The plaque says the ship was probably built somewhere on the northwest coast of the Americas in the mid- to late 1800s, based on its Douglas fir timber, wooden pegs and iron 'drift-pin' fastenings. There's no name, no destination and no hint if it was intentionally grounded and disassembled to build houses, or if it was a victim of a storm, Johnson said about the history of the vessel, which is just a block from his home. 'So, that's part of the interesting story, is that anybody you know can make up what they think the story that shipwreck was about, and it makes it a little bit more of a romantic thing to sit there and look at and think about.' Johnson said he's grown to love the beachside artifact and it was 'gut-wrenching' to see in burned. He would use it as a seat to take sunset photos and sitting there felt like hanging out with a 'friend who had just been in a bad accident,' he said. The West Coast of Vancouver Island has been called the 'Graveyard of the Pacific' for its long history of storms bringing ships into the rocky shores. In 1906, the SS Valencia en route to Victoria from San Francisco, struck a reef off Vancouver Island, killing 136 people. It is one of the deadliest shipwrecks in B.C.'s history. Anya Zanko, events and development manager with Maritime Museum of BC, said the tragedy spurred public outrage, and led to the construction of a telegraph line and trial along Vancouver Island's coast. The Dominion Lifesaving Trail was taken over by the Pacific Rim Park Reserve in 1973 and was renamed the West Coast Trail, Zanko said. The trial is now a popular hiking destination. Geddes said they want people to enjoy the beauty of the beach, but it's important that people are also responsible and ensure their fires are out before leaving the beach. Johnson said the shipwreck is now more than a reminder of the treacherous storms in the region. 'And the idea that somebody might have started this fire, and it could easily spread a block to my home, is really the lesson.' The fire chief said it's unclear what caused the fire, although they aren't aware of any lightning strikes in the area around that time.

City to identify ‘drop' hazards at Britannia Beach following safety audit
A lifeguard works at Britannia Beach in Ottawa, on Tuesday, June 18, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Justin Tang The City of Ottawa is implementing changes to the swimming area at Britannia Beach following an audit conducted to reduce the risk of drowning or injuries. The Office of the Chief Coroner of Ontario recommended the 'lifesaving audit' at city beaches last year after three people drowned at Britannia Beach between 2020 and 2023 from standing or wading close to a 'drop off' area where water depth drops from two feet to 10 feet. In July 2024, a 9-year-old boy died after being found unresponsive in the Ottawa River at the popular west end beach. In a memo to the mayor and councillors Monday afternoon, the city's general manager of recreation, cultural and facility services Dan Chenier says several changes have been made to better define the beach's swimming area and to improve markings at drop off points. The modifications include installing swimming buoy lines at least 300 millimetres from the start of the dredged swimming area and marking the sloped areas with a lane rope. Anchored cautionary buoys will also be changed to an orange/yellow colour instead of white to enhance visibility. Larger sized buoys will be used to replace the buoy line rope used in prior years, Chenier writes. Britannia Beach A map showing the new buoy line indicating drop off points at the Britannia Beach swimming area. (City of Ottawa/Provided) The city engaged Stantec Consulting Ltd. to review, assess and recommend measures to address river bottom variations and sandbars in proximity to the swimming area. 'Stantec has provided the City with four options for the modification of the beach and adjacent areas. The recommended option is to reduce underwater slopes combined with the filling of the deeper zones within and near the buoyed swim area,' the memo says. The bottom of the Ottawa River changes through the season due to the spring freshet, currents, wind and rain, leading to naturally occurring and shifting sandbars at Britannia. The city says conditions will be reviewed regularly by staff and will adjust buoy lines if needed. Residents are encouraged to only swim within designated swimming areas. The lifesaving audit was conducted on Aug. 7-8 of last year at Britannia, Mooney's Bay and Petrie Island beaches. Westboro Beach was not included as it had been closed since 2022. 'Overall, the City was found to provide a reasonable standard of care,' Chenier says. Some of the other changes this season include a new flag and signage system at all city beaches to better indicate lifeguard supervised zones and swimming areas. Red over Yellow flags – indicate the designated supervised swimming area Green flag – Lifeguards are supervising the designated swimming area Red flag – Lifeguards are not supervising the designated swimming area The Coroner had also recommended the City of Ottawa consider staffing lifeguards 'during daylight hours' and to conduct annual lifesavings audits at the start of every season. The buoy line at Petrie Island (Centre East Beach) was adjusted last year to contour the river bottom inside the drop off area. City beaches will open for supervised swimming daily from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. June 21 to Aug. 24. Lifejacket loaner program Lifejackets will be available for use at all city beaches starting this season. Approximately 25 Transport Canada approved lifejackets in child, youth and adult sizes will be on hand during supervised lifeguard hours of operation at each beach until the end of the season. The city says the service will be positioned in a 'prominent location' at each site with staff available to provide advice on proper fitting and adjustments along with water safety tips. Residents can also donate any new Transport Canada approved lifejacket or Personal Floatation Device (PFD), which will be inspected before they are added to the on-site inventory. The service will be free of charge.
