exactly what it says in the title. I'm a 24 year old with a cat and I'm looking for someone to split rent in a 2 bed apartment. I don't mind drinking/smoking (I smoke weed occasionally) and am looking for someone queer-friendly. I'm looking at a budget of ~$800 each. cat is sweet and friendly, quite shy really. her name is baby. dm me if interested.

Looking for a quiet gym. Wondering if it’s for more than CrossFit? I’m more of general fitness/powerlifting

Hey I need some help. I am moving on Sunday from Souris to Dauphin and my help just fell through.

Hey guys, im visiting my Girlfriend in Brandon in about 2 months, im staying there about a week and then i will fly back home with her. What are some nice things to do or see there and what should I know and keep in mind about the City? I know its not too big of a city, but im sure you have some places worth seeing and some nice restaurants you could recommend.

Looking for a local tattoo artist, preferably nerdy, to do some greyscale line work using something similar to the picture.

Any locals who speak French or are learning French and would be interested in organized public meet ups to practice?

brandon manitoba right? what neighbourhoods should be avoided? what neighbourhood is decent? how’s life there?

I’ve only ever been there once in my entire life.

Vehicle vs. Pedestrians

On July 9^th at 7:21 p.m., BPS responded to a report of a motor vehicle collision involving two pedestrians at the intersection of 6th Street and Richmond Avenue.

The preliminary investigation determined that an SUV was travelling westbound on Richmond Avenue and struck two pedestrians who were crossing southbound on 6th Street. One pedestrian was struck by the front of the vehicle, while the second was hit by the side of the vehicle. Both pedestrians, 10-year-old females, sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries. They were transported to Winnipeg via ambulance for further medical treatment at the Children’s Hospital.

Several bystanders and construction workers witnessed the incident. Surveillance video from the area was obtained, and officers documented the scene through photographs and drone imagery. The vehicle involved was towed and seized by BPS pending a Traffic Analyst's assessment. Mandatory alcohol screening for the operator of the vehicle was conducted, and the 72-year-old male blew zero. The male was later released without charges at this time. The incident, however, remains under investigation.

Anyone know of any food trucks parked around Brandon either today or over the next week?

Craving something that’s not a restaurant lol

Maybe a shot in the dark, but I've been looking for a new hobby that would force me to actually learn and be patient and be challenging, and I think bonsai would fit the bill. It's also cool!

Does anybody here have experience with it or know somebody who does? The internet is lovely and all but actually talking to somebody would be better, haha.

Thanks!

In a crosswalk no less.

Stay safe.

Edit: BPS Media Release

"The investigation has determined that a 16-year-old female was proceeding northbound in the marked crosswalk when she was struck on her left side by an eastbound vehicle travelling in the median lane."

With how many posts there have been lately looking for friends in btown, heres an option put on by blackwheat and bestie studios (whoever they are lol)

Indians on this Reddit page for Brandon, I want suggestions for what flights to look for if I want to make a trip to India from Brandon. Considering the tensions in the Middle East, is it a good idea to book that route, or should I fly over the West Coast?

Finding it tough to enjoy the free time i have in this city. It feels like there isn’t much to do at all and it’s hard to meet new people. Looking to see what others are doing for some ideas

agenda-july-6-2026-full.pdf

It's a grant-application heavy agenda.

• Petition "on behalf of the Citizen's of Brandon regarding the 2025 Wildfire Evacuees"
  • First I'm hearing of any petition to come to council. The petition is not included in the agenda.
• Two Disaster Financial Assistance Requests (no $ figures for either)
  • Heavy Rain of June 29th
  • 2026 Flood Event
• Build Communities Strong Fund Application - Southwest Brandon Growth Transportation and Water Projects
  • Estimated grant of $20,588,800 (40% of project costs)
• Green Municipal Fund Application - City Hall Renovation
  • Estimated grant (as part of a loan package) of $980,667
  • Total renovation cost of $7,355,000
• Build Communities Strong Fund Application - Canada Packers Sports Complex Additions
  • Construct four soccer fields, parking log, irrigation system, and naturalization
  • Estimated grant of $575,000 (50% of costs)

For some perspective, the City's capital budget for 2026 is about $160 million. 2027 is (estimated) at $117 million. (Source). More grants means less (local) taxation.

There's other items on the agenda but that's all I have time to summarize.

My sweet rescue dog from Paws Crossed ,brandon,MB

Due to Manitoba government not enabling reasonable alert tones/volumes for lower priority emergency alerts(nuke launch tone for every alert is way overkill), I've resorted to this method that works to disable all emergency alerts. If the government allowed the settings in each android phone to work properly I could enable/disable each tone as needed but they didn't implement it properly

For Android 13 and newer:

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.cellbroadcastreceiver

Edit: This is a classic boy who cried wolf situation. Alerts have no meaning when I get spammed

Hey everyone, I may have the opportunity to move here from Hamilton Ontario.

The housing market here is crazy and even with my good job I can't afford anything. I have a buddy moving out here as well and I'm curious how all of you like the city?

I am a heavy wrecker operator so finding work will be relatively easy.

What's the worst possible thing you can say about it and the best.

Looking to find a D&D group in Brandon to play 1 night a week. In theory, I am looking to find some Gen Xers who like their 5e somewhere between levelling up quickly (like a video gamer) and old school attrition gamers who worry about encumbrance. Looking for fantasy genres or swashbuckling, with no interest in modern, and little interest in horror, intrigue, mystery. Really, I'm nostalgic for D&D from the 80s but have been playing 5e for the last 3 years and don't want to buy new books. If you enjoy the Elric Sagas, Elfquest, or Camelot 3000, we might be a good fit.
