Mayor not levitating—it’s a cutout

Mayor Fred Eisenberger is humouring the bet that he made on the Grey Cup with Winnipeg Mayor Brian Bowman. The friendly bet called for the ‘losing’ mayor to wear the opposing team’s jersey and have a lifesize cardboard cutout made of him wearing it. The cutout of Eisenberger in a Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ jersey with the jersey number 2 is on display. It will remain in place for 108 hours, one for every Grey Cup game.

For more than a dozen years the Bay Observer has been providing a fresh perspective on the important local events and issues that face our communities.

Coverage of local news has never been more important in our democratic society as the number of news voices has diminished. You can help us not only maintain the quality coverage we have been providing, but to improve it, by allowing us to being more voices and more coverage to our loyal readers and followers.

At a time when many on-line news services are moving to paywalls the Bay Observer prefers to try a different approach that involves the Bay Observer family.
