Magic at The Edge
Nathan Rogers played to a full and extremely enthusiastic house. He worked his magic on the crowd, with a presence almost too large for the stage. The music was thrilling, the sound was excellent, the venue was wonderful and the excitement spilled out into the street. I'm sure everyone driving by on Main Street wished they could stop and be part of the scene. We were all swept away by the energy of the evening. There were lots of Point folks in the audience, some of whom (including me) were discovering The Edge for the first time. Will definitely be back for more.

IRON COPS FUN RUN -- April 19 was anything but a quiet Sunday morning at Dr. Shaver Park at Rover and Barber. Police cruisers and numerous other vehicles were parked on the edge of Rover, tables were set up to hold vats of water and juice, and volunteers checked for their assignments. Around 8 am a huge crowd of children and youth surged toward the park, walking behind a yellow banner.

The occasion was the second annual Iron Cops Fun Run, a joint effort of the Winnipeg Police Service, the Point Douglas Residents Committee, and the Winnipeg Aboriginal Sports Achievement Centre (WASAC). Over 250 young people, clad in bright orange t-shirts, were joined by Mayor Sam Katz, Police Chief Keith McCaskill, WASAC Executive Director Kevin Chief, and a variety of other participants for the 5 km run.

According to PDRC chair Sel Burrows the run is staged to build trust and understanding between the inner city community and the Winnipeg Police Service. Another goal is healthy fun, which was certainly evident on this wonderful Sunday morning.
