Oak Hammock Marsh has a number of events scheduled. Green building tours, demonstrations on how the wetlands help filter water and clean the environment, and a composting workshop. It all starts at 3…

In an effort to keep old batteries out of landfills, CAA Manitoba is setting up its annual vehicle battery recycling program. Take your old cells to three Winnipeg locations (870 Empress St.; 2211 McPhillips St.; 501 St. Anne's Rd.) or the Brandon drop-off (305 - 18th Street N.) and help protect the planet from battery assault.

Starting at the Manitoba Legislature at 8:30 a.m., the 'I Walk for Water' event will wind east down Broadway and towards City Hall. Hosted by Manitoba hair salons, the five-kilometre walk is designed to raise awareness and generate funds towards clean drinking water.
