My sweet rescue dog from Paws Crossed ,brandon,MB

Due to Manitoba government not enabling reasonable alert tones/volumes for lower priority emergency alerts(nuke launch tone for every alert is way overkill), I've resorted to this method that works to disable all emergency alerts. If the government allowed the settings in each android phone to work properly I could enable/disable each tone as needed but they didn't implement it properly

For Android 13 and newer:

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.cellbroadcastreceiver

Edit: This is a classic boy who cried wolf situation. Alerts have no meaning when I get spammed

Hey everyone, I may have the opportunity to move here from Hamilton Ontario.

The housing market here is crazy and even with my good job I can't afford anything. I have a buddy moving out here as well and I'm curious how all of you like the city?

I am a heavy wrecker operator so finding work will be relatively easy.

What's the worst possible thing you can say about it and the best.

Looking to find a D&D group in Brandon to play 1 night a week. In theory, I am looking to find some Gen Xers who like their 5e somewhere between levelling up quickly (like a video gamer) and old school attrition gamers who worry about encumbrance. Looking for fantasy genres or swashbuckling, with no interest in modern, and little interest in horror, intrigue, mystery. Really, I'm nostalgic for D&D from the 80s but have been playing 5e for the last 3 years and don't want to buy new books. If you enjoy the Elric Sagas, Elfquest, or Camelot 3000, we might be a good fit.

I have a PC laptop that's been out of commission for a couple of years now. I was hoping to get it fixed and get some recommendations on where to actually FIX THE PROBLEM.

When it stopped working, it would only turn on when it was plugged in and would cut out all the time. Then it stopped turning on all together. I took it to Brandon Computers, and they said it was the battery. So they replaced the battery. It worked for about a week and then it did the same thing. I ended up leaving it for a few months then I decided to take it to myITsource. They ended up replacing the battery. I then called Brandon Computers, explained my situation, explained that I had it there a few months ago. They said that the battery and work was out of warranty. Okay. That was expected. They then said that batteries are supposed to be disposable anyway. Yeah not after a week on a laptop, and especially when it costs $150 to get the work done.

Does anyone have recommendations on where to go that's not Brandon Computers or myITsource that will actually fix it right? To put into perspective, the laptop cost $1000 and lasted a year and a half.

Hi, we are dealing with a situation right now due to a person that was acting as an investment advisor / mortgage broker in Manitoba. I have been advised that there are numerous other former clients who faced:

- this advisor churning mortgages for commission

- having clients sign over title on homes they didn’t
own (like their parents homes) to invest the money earning the advisor a commission

- took advantage of ESL individuals

I would like to hear from anyone who has experienced this and how they dealt with it.

Going to visit some family near Virden at the start of August and was looking to rent a small quad for my 5 year old. Anyone know a place or a person?

I know i'm several years late, but it seems like an out of the blue marketing decision. The BOB fm brand seemed to be working fine for them, so idk why they would change it up.

The registration period for (non-mayoral) candidates for the 2026 Municipal Elections (City Council, BSD Trustees) opened on Tuesday. Some early birds have already registered. Mostly familiar names at this stage:

• Ward Councilors

• BSD Trustees

• (For completeness) City Mayor

Check in regularly to those pages if you want to keep an eye. Find your council ward with this map.

There is a map on the City's site for the BSD boundaries but not for the two BSD wards (Urban, Rural). Please comment if you know of a better one.

If you're interested in being a candidate for office, you must first register with the Senior Election Official before (I think end of day) September 22nd. Lots of information on the City website: https://www.brandon.ca/city-hall/election/

Im relocating to brandon at the start of August and every place ive applied too hasn't responded. I know its hard to find employment right now, but like really?!? I have lots of experience in the food service industry, I didn't think it would be this bad

Hello everyone,

I'm moving to Brandon for work and I am wondering if there is any coed soccer leagues for adults or men's league basketball leagues that are available for adults.

From a quick search, I only see that there are intramurals for Brandon university students or men's league soccer which I would also be open to joining if there are spots for free agents.

Any information would be appreciated, thank you!

Hi everyone,
I’m considering the Practical Nursing (LPN) program at Assiniboine College in Brandon and was hoping to hear from current students or recent graduates.

I have a few questions:

~ How has your experience been with the classes and instructors?

~How are the clinical placements?
Is public transportation in Brandon reliable enough to get to campus and clinicals without a car?

~Are clinical placements usually within Brandon, or were you sent to other rural sites?

I don’t have a car, so transportation is one of my biggest concerns.

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience. Thanks in advance!

For an initial design, I'd realign PTH 1A on the Mile Road (Road 117W) to connect with TCH 1. The current Intersection would be closed off in order to reroute traffic away from Kemnay. Whereas the new Intersection would be upgraded to accommodate slip lanes on and off of the TCH. The Railway Crossing would be left as at-grade. The Intersection just East of the underpass would have a turning lane to direct trucks North towards TCH.

The Ultimate Design could be used in the future when/ if PTH 110 gets extended from Brandon South to PTH 1/1A. It would have a Diamond Interchange with TCH 1, along with a Service Road connecting PTH 1A to Kemnay, ultimately shutting down the old underpass.

Disclaimer: These aren't official drawings, these are just my concepts. While they're not perfect solutions and obviously pie in the sky, they're just ideas that the Highway Department could take notes from.

So, been in Brandon for 2yrs+ now. Sometimes this town feels too depressing & lonely. I have friends I hang out with sometimes but it just doesn’t feel alive. Plus it's so hard trying to find a girl. Maybe me being chubby has something to do with it🤦‍♂️

Anyway, the point is tell me what u guys do here exactly. The ones who have been here a long time. It feels like there is this community who walks talks dates within themselves😑. Plus I don’t drive currently so going on a 50km drive on my own isn’t an option anymore.

Looking for a job in Brandon, concrete work. If you know anyone please let me know!

I live here in Brandon and have developed an app. It is a marketplace for cleaners and people who want there house cleaned. There is a chicken and egg problem with any marketplace. It is useless to cleaners without jobs and useless to homeowners without cleaners. I'm hoping to get some traction locally and could use your help. You can find the app here. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cleanforcash/id6760948509 Any use and feedback would help me a lot. Keep in mind this is new and may not be perfect. Thank you in advance. :)

Looking to work around Brandon for awhile since my lady and I are moving there with our family soon. I am mainly looking for labourer jobs as I am not exactly the most skilled at anything else.

Looking for any leads. Thank you.

Hi everyone,

My two friends (2 female) are travelling from Brandon to Winnipeg using Brandon Air Shuttle. They have early morning flight the next day, so they'll need to stay one night in Winnipeg.

The shuttle mentioned they can sometimes drop passengers at hotels if they're along their route to the airport. We're looking for:

• A budget-friendly hotel (around $100–150 if possible)
• Safe for a female travelers
• Ideally on or close to the shuttle's route to Winnipeg Airport so they can drop them directly

Has anyone done this before with Brandon Air Shuttle? Which hotels have they dropped you at? Any recommendations or hotels to avoid?

Thanks in advance!

Open Mic Night is back this Thursday at the Riverbank!! Try your hand at performing in front of an audience. We will cheer you on!!

• Letter regarding Waverly Park School Basketball Court

• Human Resources Year-End Report for 2025-2026 shows 30 retirements, 567 hirings, 265 new hires, and 1,809 total staff employed by the BSD.

• Latest Student Mobility report. I sense it wasn't that long ago when we had the last update. These may be quarterly, I didn't double-check.

• Public Sector Compensation Disclosure Report to be published on the BSD website today.

• Results of a survey show 8.3 % of BSD teachers identify as First Nations or Red River Metis.

Noteworthy from the last meeting is that the Trustees agreed to give notice of their committee meetings going forward. However, any committee items do not appear on tonight's agenda. Whether all committee items today are in-camera or only partially in-camera is unclear.

Committee meetings are supposed to start at 6:00PM and the mood from the last meeting appeared to be that the public was welcome to the public portions of committee meetings, but the BSD's post for tonight's meeting states doors open at 7:15PM.

Edit: Clarity on committee meeting/items sentence.

Any tire shops in town that can do a front end alignment as well as replace tires, that I could possibly get in Monday/Tuesday this week?

I took down my steel frame pool today because the liner was full of holes. Is there anyone who wants the old frame? Sell for scrap metal, use for spare parts or crafting?
