This Weekend
The Mother’s Day scramble is officially on. If you missed out on the Assiniboine Park brunch at The Leaf, you are not alone—it is already sold out. Your best bet for a last-minute save is the Moms & Makers Market at Hargrave Street Market (Friday and Saturday) or the Brunch and a Movie event at The MET.
It is also Curbside Giveaway Weekend on May 9 and 10. This is the perfect time to clear out the garage or those outgrown kids' toys. Just label your items "FREE" and remember that anything not picked up must be back inside by Sunday night.
Expect a chilly start with overnight lows hitting 0°C. If you are heading to the Family Fun Spring Fair at Assiniboia Downs or the St. Norbert Farmers’ Market, keep the heavy layers handy. Other entertainment options include the WSO at the Centennial Concert Hall or Ron James for some laughs.
This Week
The weather takes a turn for the better by Wednesday and Thursday, with highs finally climbing toward 20°C. It is a great week to get the kids out to The Forks, but be prepared for extra foot traffic due to the Moose Hide Campaign walk and various birding tours.
Manitoba Day (May 12): The Manitoba Children’s Museum is running scavenger hunts and local animal activities from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Toddler Tuesdays: These are back in action at The Leaf, offering a reliable way to burn off energy before the school run.
Yard Waste: If you are in Area B, your collection starts the week of May 11. Get those reusable bins or paper bags to the curb by 7 a.m.
Pro Tip: Do not rake your debris into the street. The City is warning that it plugs the drains and leads to ponding or basement flooding.

What’s coming This Week?
Coming Soon!
Monday kicks off a steady stretch of mild weather with a mix of sun and clouds, but keep an eye on overnight lows as we are still hovering near freezing. Tuesday is Manitoba Day, which is the perfect excuse to talk local history with the kids or find a small way to celebrate our province. Toddler Tuesdays are also starting back up at The Leaf to help burn off that endless indoor energy.

The Architecture Behind AI-Native Revenue Automation
In our new white paper, The Architecture Behind AI-Native Revenue Automation, Tabs CTO Deepak Bapat breaks down what it actually takes to apply AI to revenue workflows without breaking the books.
You’ll learn why probabilistic reasoning isn’t enough for finance, how Tabs pairs LLMs with deterministic logic, and why a unified Commercial Graph is the foundation for scalable, audit-ready automation. From contract interpretation to cash application, this paper goes deep on where AI belongs—and where it absolutely doesn’t.
If you’re evaluating AI for billing, collections, or revenue operations, this is the architecture perspective most vendors won’t show you.
