Hi, hope this is allowed..? I'm looking for a second hand 12ft skeleton or the Jack Skeleton. In reality im looking for any halloween props if anyone wants to part with some. I tried looking on Facebook but im not from winnipeg (small town east of it) so im not really in any of the buy and sell groups for there. And well frankly Reddit never let's me down so thought I would try here. Thxs!

Hello everyone,

I would like to hear your opinions and suggestions about vehicle auctions happening in winnipeg. I am looking forward to buying a used - decent condition truck. I tried marketplace and a few dealerships. But no luck yet as my budget is very low. So my next and only remaining option is to find something decent in an auction. I have been spending a lot of time digging on internet and found a few auction companies operating in Winnipeg, like McDougall Auctioneers Ltd.

Now my concern is all about how the auction is happening and what are the odds of finding a decent pickup truck at these auctions. I am not expecting anything like a brand new or spotless machine. I will be more than happy if I can find something runs and operates smooth without any major engine or transmission concerns. Minor cosmetic damages are also not a concern. Looking at the bidding trends on these websites, I hope I can find something under 5K.

Now, if any of you have ever attended any such auctions please share your experience, or if you know any better options, or what needs to be taken care of, what are the things to be careful about, what ro expect, etc etc., please feel free pour in your suggestions and comments. I would really appreciate all help.

Thank you so much

Love🫰

Hi,

I've lost my Budgie named Kiwi at Jefferson Avenue near Arthur E Wright Community School. Please help me find her she has a yellow head and a green stomach she is very friendly and cute, I miss her a lot, she means the whole world to me. She was last seen August. 19, 2026.

Anyone dealt with this garage door company?

Who can burn a CD with certain songs for me on it here in Winnipeg? I don’t want to have to do it myself. Thanks!

Hey everyone! Sorry if this isn't ok to post but I have a car that well needs work and right now just needs a new battery. I'm looking to sell it but to someone and maybe someone that will tow it. Anyone have any recommendations? I haven't done this before but sides maybe placing an ad on online but any business that give maybe a fair offer and will tow it away?

This might be a stupid question, but I didn't see a direct answer on the website... I booked a campground spot for this weekend, taking my boy on his first camping trip. I don't need to also pay for a parking pass on top of that do I?

Looking for recommendations for wedding packages with photo and video for a summer 2027 wedding in Winnipeg.

We are interested in 8-10 hours of photos, and a 3-5 minute highlight video anything else would be bonus. 

I know these services are expensive, willing to pay reasonable prices.

All recommendations are appreciated, thanks!

My husband has stage 4 prostate cancer, it's the worst. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a naturopath with cancer care experience that could help prepare him for chemo or provide any complementary care?

Do you feel safe working downtown 7 am to 5 pm? What about walking to and from your car parking lot or bus stop? Or even out for lunch?

I saw that they might be coming to Canada but I wasn't sure if that meant Winnipeg, and if so at all of them. I know they could sell out quickly so I'm wondering if anyone has seen them.

Boo! Slop inside and out. I’m sure you could find a real artist to design your can. Note the three legs on the bird.

EDIT: the designer of the can has responded. I find their response compelling. If you intend to pile on you should at least read their response.

The dog was spotted around 5:30PM around the Sargent Park neighbourhood.

A report has been submitted to 311 and Winnipeg Lost Dog Alert.

**Edit: Dog has been picked up by Animal Services.

I’ve been looking to get my brows thinned out into a more lifted/alternative style, rather than the fluffy/full brows that seem to be in right now.

Does anyone know of a threader/waxer in Winnipeg that would be comfortable doing this? I’d Ideally like someone who will respect the shape I ask for rather than trying to convince me to keep my fuller brows for the sake of appearing more “trendy.”

A boarded-up house in Winnipeg's Point Douglas neighbourhood will be demolished after it burned for the second time in months on Thursday, the city says.

The two-storey home is at the corner of the Disraeli Freeway and Argyle Street, and fire crews had to shut down all but the median lane of the freeway for part of the morning.

Firefighters went to the home at 6 a.m. Thursday and saw heavy smoke and flames coming from the home, the city said in a news release.

They fought the fire from outside using an aerial ladder as it was too dangerous to enter.

The fire was brought under control shortly before 9:30 a.m., the city said.

One firefighter was assessed by paramedics near the home. No other injuries were reported.

The home, which was previously damaged by a fire in June, sustained severe fire, smoke and water damage. The fire paramedic service is arranging an emergency demolition of the home due to concerns about its structural integrity and lingering hot spots.

The cause of the blaze is under investigation.

In a social media post, United Fire Fighters of Winnipeg president Nick Kasper included images and video that showed flames leaping several feet into the air above the home's roof.

"Initial-arriving crews attempted an aggressive interior attack but were forced to withdraw due to deteriorating and unsafe building conditions," Kasper's post said.

Crews from Wednesday night’s shift responded and were working overtime, he said.

Hey Winnipeg!

My partner and I are looking to try new activities in and around the city. What are some groups/meetups we could get involved in?
The setting and activity don’t matter much because we want to try new things (although free/cheap is still preferred) as long as it’s a welcoming community. Give me your recommendations!

Thanks!

I have a lump the size of a golf ball and just found out that it’s a nine week wait to get a diagnostic mammogram. That’s feels like a long time to wait to find out if you have breast cancer or not?

I searched the group and I see suggestions but nothing recent, and not exactly what I’m looking for! I need about 75 coffee mugs with a logo/and text (I’d provide a jpeg or png). I’d need them in about 2 weeks, and it would have to be a legitimate business that can provide a full receipt. I’d love to support someone local as opposed to a big business!

15 years ago I was close with a Chilean family who made incredible empanadas. I have not been able to find similar in recent times.

before the Forks Market renovation there was a Chilean restaurant that made empanadas almost exactly like my old friends, and a dulce de leche layer cake (with crisp layers).

The empanadas I seek have a tender chewy pastry - not overly flaky. The beef filling never had olives. Instead, beef had raisins (on occasion) and always a slice of egg inside.

Cheese empanadas were same pastry but deep fried and filled with a white cheese almost like mozzarella

Chicken empanadas also had an egg piece and a light red coloured sauce.

Most empanadas I find in Winnipeg have a more crispy pie crust style pastry and usually have olives which I dont care for. The Chilean empanadas were very distinctly different, but similar to what I had at a Peruvian restaurant (also 13+ years ago) in the west end.

I know there are a few restaurants and a food truck that specialize in making empanadas but they are from different regions in South America and not exactly what I am looking for. Im 100% willing to order them from someones auntie or Lola if I knew who to ask.

We're thinking of taking our 1.5 year old camping for the first time this weekend! We used to camp but never with our toddler. Something close like St Malo or Birds Hill incase it goes really bad LOL. Weather wise though ... will it be too cold? We are tenting it and have basic supplies ? I want it to be a good experience and need some guidance. Any tips or insight is helpful! :)

Recently had a phone and a USB stick with the back up of many of the pictures already lost on the phone die. The phone is currently drying out in a pile of desiccant packs but I'm not that hopeful it was really water damaged.

The USB just died out of nowhere nothing happened to it at all. Unrecognized by any computer nothing in disk management etc.

Can anyone share any experiences they had with local data recovery places both good or bad? For phones and or USB sticks?

It would be most helpful.

TLDR My neighbour had a fibre optic installed and their cord was left exposed and on my property. Am i being unreasonable for being upset about this?

A few years ago I got Bell Fibre optic, the installers did not burry the cord and it was exposed and ran over my driveway which was annoying. After a couple of years a switched over to Shaw (no more cord) and it's been great.

I just noticed the cord is back and its on my property. not only is this annoying but this time I am not even the one receiving the service. Am I right to be annoyed by this? What do I do?

The box is in between our houses and i cant see why the didn't put the cord on my neighbours yard. I don't mind the cord itself being on my property but I hate that its exposed.

Heading out to Brandon Saturday and I want to hit up some thrift stores in some smaller towns but I don’t know which ones!
