Forecasted snow storm a blessing for Manitoba farmers

WINNIPEG --
An early April snowstorm scheduled to hit Manitoba on Monday could bring farmers and firefighters some much-needed precipitation.
Phil Veldhuis, president of Direct Farm Manitoba, said farmers are crossing their fingers for some moisture.
"It's been dry since really midsummer last year, no moisture at all in the fall or winter," Veldhuis said. "I don't think it's affecting us yet, but we're super concerned about the growing conditions this spring."
Veldhuis is also the owner of Phil's honey. Like farmers, he's buzzing for some precipitation, as a lack of moisture could lead to a poor honey harvest.
"If plants don't grow, they don't flower, and then bees don't get nectar. I'm just as needing moisture as anyone else," he said.

Winnipeg bids to host 2025 World Youth Archery Championships

WINNIPEG --
Winnipeg is in the running to be the host city for the 2025 World Youth Archery Championships.
If successful the bid could bring an economic boom to the city, estimated to be around $5 million. This is based on an analysis by Sportcal, a global sports economics consultancy, on a similar event held in Denmark in 2015.
“We're hoping that by showcasing archery at a high level, and these archers are the cream of the crop in youth archery, they're the up and comers,” said Kelly Taylor, vice-president of athlete development with Archery Manitoba.
“We hope that in showcasing archery at this level we can inspire other Canadians to take up archery cause it is a sport that could be for everyone."

North Vancouver hiking trail still popular despite COVID-related closure

VANCOUVER --
Dotted with kayakers, paddle boarders and the occasional luxury yacht, Deep Cove is an adventure-lover’s paradise, and there’s no better place to take it all in than from high above on Quarry Rock.
But the District of North Vancouver closed the popular hiking trail in March of last year because it would be nearly impossible to physically distance on the normally crowded route.
"Just before we closed it, we had three to four thousand visitors a day going to Quarry Rock on a sunny weekend,” said North Van District councillor Lisa Muri. “So there's no possibility of social distancing with those numbers."

NHL announces return to play plan for Vancouver Canucks

VANCOUVER --
As long as there are no further positive tests for COVID-19 Saturday, the Vancouver Canucks will return to the ice on Sunday, the National Hockey League has announced.
The Canucks are scheduled to reopen their facilities for practice on Sunday, with a game against the Edmonton Oilers scheduled for April 16.
A total of seven Canucks games have been postponed as a result of coronavirus cases that ripped through the organization in recent weeks.
Twenty-five people associated with the team have tested positive for COVID-19 since March 31. That total includes 21 players.
The team's 56-game schedule now concludes on Sunday, May 16, with the playoffs for the all-Canadian North Division likely starting after that date.
