An 18-year-old man has been stabbed to death near the theatre in downtown Gimli, Man.
Gimli Mayor Randy Woroniuk tells CTV Winnipeg this kind of violence is rare and "out of the ordinary" in the small community of 2,200.
He has asked the RCMP for a briefing on the incident.
The death comes on the eve of one of the town's biggest yearly festivals, the Gimli Film Festival.
Woroniuk says he wants to reassure tourists and locals that Gimli remains a safe town.
