ADMIN

Thanks for your help!

I'm new to newsletters so any help, resources, tips, or feedback is very appreciated!

I posted on FB and Reddit asking local Winnipeggers if they’re interested in helping out with developing this newsletter.

I don't plan to promote this newsletter actively while working on a good looking and easy to read report every week - but I WILL be providing the details for everyone - and I hope you will help me know what you'd find most useful so I can put that "raw data" into a useful format and thus create a useful newsletter for Winnipeggers.

Here are a few file samples I can develop each week and I will be trying to transform them into more readable, better copy and bundles of foods such as “Baskets” - and with some history over time perhaps even a pricing trends section.

Please let me know here in the comments if there is any feedback on the data i have here or other articles, and your thoughts on what might be most useful.

Thanks again!

The following are basic reports in basic excel, and a basic write up for review and any feedback you may have!

Winnipeg Pothole Survival Guide

Spring in the Peg brings a few guarantees. The snow melts, the geese return, and the roads open up to swallow your vehicle whole. As the brutal freeze and thaw cycle does its annual damage to our asphalt, those tiny cracks from January are rapidly becoming suspension destroying craters. Before you lose a tire or a hubcap to a hidden hazard on Saskatchewan Avenue, here is your definitive guide to surviving pothole season and navigating the MPI aftermath.

Indie Coffee Roasters? Yes Please!

There aren't many in Winnipeg, but with the costs of the bean - whole or ground - spiking everywhere thanks to trade and bad crops, it just isn't enough to visit Starbucks any more. So here is a collection of little-known Winnipeg Independent Coffee Roasters along with a HeadsUp Local Directory Listing all about them.

HeadsUp! What's Coming & Food Price Report | 20Feb26

Late February in Winnipeg means we are in the deep winter stretch. The days are finally getting noticeably longer but the parking lots are still freezing and the wind chill is keeping us bundled up. Festival du Voyageur wraps up this weekend so it is your last chance to grab some maple taffy and enjoy the French Canadian energy in St. Boniface before we all settle in for the wait for spring.
