Mild weather conditions are sweeping across Manitoba according to meteorologist Colleen Bready's forecast for November 11, 2025. The warm and windy pattern created comfortable conditions for Remembrance Day ceremonies throughout the province as Canadians gathered to honor military veterans.
National Remembrance Day Observances
Across Canada, approximately 7 in 10 Canadians planned to mark Remembrance Day according to recent polling data. Ceremonies took place from coast to coast, with significant gatherings reported in Ottawa, Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Barrie. The day held particular significance for a 23-year-old Royal Canadian Legion member in Moncton who expressed hope that more young people would join the organization to ensure its future.
In emotional scenes, a special forces veteran living in Moncton revealed his ongoing struggle with PTSD, stating "I just hid it" as he fights for alternative treatments. His story highlighted the continuing challenges faced by military personnel long after their service ends.
Weather and Emergency Updates
While Manitoba enjoyed mild conditions, other regions faced weather challenges. Heavy snow caused widespread power outages and school closures across Quebec, creating hazardous travel conditions. Sudbury police urged drivers to exercise caution on the roads following the winter weather.
Emergency services remained busy with multiple incidents reported. A large grass fire burned a field near Deerfoot Trail, while a 14-year-old was arrested for alleged attempted murder north of Montreal. In North York, tragedy struck when a driver critically injured in a rear-end collision subsequently died in hospital according to police reports.

Meanwhile, Rider fans enthusiastically sent their team off to Winnipeg ahead of the upcoming Grey Cup championship.
