Fasten your seatbelts, craft beer lovers — the fifth annual Props N Hops beer event is ready for takeoff.

More than 20 local brewers will be landing at the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada on Saturday for a night of craft beer sampling in support of scholarship programs for Manitoba Air Cadets.

Participating brewers include Barn Hammer, Bookstore, Lake of the Woods, Good Neighbour, Interlake and Brazen, as well as Manitoba drinks producers Shrugging Doctor Beverage Co., Wooden Gate Cider and Dead Horse Cider.

In addition to a range of locally made drinks to sample, there will be finger food to enjoy and live entertainment (including Al Simmons) while wandering among the museum’s impressive collection of historic airplanes. There will also be a silent auction and 50/50 to help support Manitoba Air Cadets.

Tickets are $70 plus fees at wfp.to/iaM and include all samples and a commemorative glass; designated driver tickets are $30 plus fees.

It is with profound sadness that we share the news that officials and emergency services have confirmed the passing of a cadet following the tragic bus accident that occurred yesterday in Sainte‑Rose‑de‑Watford, Quebec, transporting members of the Cadet Program to an activity.

Our hearts are with the cadet’s family, friends, and with all members of the cadet community who are mourning this deeply felt loss. We extend our sincere and heartfelt condolences during this incredibly difficult time.

Out of respect for the grieving family and all those affected, no further details will be shared at this time.

For those who feel moved to do so, we invite you to take a quiet moment of personal reflection in honour of those impacted. Thank you for your compassion, care, and understanding.
