Above 1975, below 2008
September 12, 1975
– An explosion destroys the Canada Manpower Centre on Henderson Highway
at Johnson Avenue. It occurred at 8 pm so the building was empty but
one pedestrian was slightly injured by flying debris. ( I searched the
newspaper archives but could not find a story about what caused it.)
September 12, 2004 - The Winnipeg Blue Bombers beat the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the inaugural Banjo Bowl by a score of 27 - 24.
The game is a rematch of the previous week's Labour Day Classic which dates back to 1950. The nickname was coined by Bomber kicker Troy Westwood who joked that Rider fans are nothing but a 'bunch of inbred banjo pickers'.
