In 2005, the community was the victim of a mass street sign theft. All of the community's signs, a total of 44, were stolen just before Christmas Day; total replacement cost was about $7,000 CAD. That same night a house fire was reported and no street signs were available for directions.[citation needed] Most of the streets in the community are named after prominent past residents or pioneers.
Miami was used in a controversial prank contest by Winnipeg radio station Classic Rock 97.5 FM (CJKR) morning man Scruff Connors in 1995. The radio station ran a contest for an all-expenses-paid trip to Miami to watch the Super Bowl, but did not mention that they were referring to Miami, Manitoba, and not the one in Florida.[3] Local media reported that some participants had considered lawsuits over the prank.[citation needed] Because of the negative backlash of the prank, CJKR terminated Connors' contract within days of the incident.
