QUESTION OF THE WEEK

In much of southern Canada, Victoria Day weekend, known also simply as the May-24 weekend, marks the unofficial early kickoff to summer with provincial parks full of campers. What about here in Northern Manitoba?
Same here. We’re off to the cabin with fireworks for Monday night. Summer, here I come

Not quite as big a deal in the North. Lakes are still pretty frozen, but we live in hope of summer anyway. Our fingers are crossed

CHICAGO - The Montreal Canadiens have selected Marc Bergevin as their new general manager, according to a report on the Chicago Tribune's website.

Citing anonymous sources, the report stated that the 46-year-old Montreal native will replace the fired Pierre Gauthier.

Bergevin served as assistant GM for the Blackhawks under Stan Bowman during the 2011-12 season. Bergevin, a former defenceman with the Blackhawks, spent seven seasons overall in Chicago's front office.

It would be the second consecutive season the Blackhawks have seen their assistant GM land a top job elsewhere. The Winnipeg Jets hired Kevin Cheveldayoff as their GM following the 2010-11 season.
