Premier Brian Pallister introduced both a carrot and a stick as COVID-19 rages in Manitoba, offering coronavirus-related sick pay for workers and doubling fines for repeat pandemic restrictions offenders. In a general sense, it’s to reward good behaviour and encourage it and to address some of the less respectful behaviour that we’ve seen, he said at a news conference Friday.

Manitobans continue to look for the best in less-than-ideal COVID-19 situations in this week s good news.
Another COVID-19 summer is on the horizon, and yet, plans for Kids Day Camps are still in the works.
Boyd Kleiver, program director at Roseau River Bible Camp, says their camp opened up registration to campers back in March and already have over 200 campers registered.
When it comes to restrictions, Kleiver says, We don t really think the restrictions (this year) will be more limiting than what they were last year. Our sports skills was one skill that we x ed, but all of the other skills were good to go. Archery and ropes had disinfection stations. We were able to make each skill work, with a few adaptions, to what a regular summer would look like.
