STATEMENT FROM PREMIER STEFANSON ON UNWAVERING SUPPORT FOR WINNIPEG POLICE OFFICERS


First and foremost, I want to offer my unwavering support for our front-line police officers. Every single day you put your lives on the line to protect the people of our city and province. Thank you for the critical work you do to keep our communities safe and enforce the law.

The recent crime activity on the streets of Winnipeg are deeply concerning. Let me be clear, violent attacks against innocent civilians will never be acceptable. Manitobans deserve to feel safe and protected in their community.

Manitobans expect their elected officials to take matters of public safety seriously and we are doing just that.

Today, in response to these deeply concerning incidences, I spoke by phone with Moe Sabourin, president of the Winnipeg Police Association (WPA), to offer my government’s support to its officers.

We both agreed the incidents cannot be the new normal in Winnipeg.

Upon my return to Winnipeg, following the Council of Federation meeting, I look forward to a further discussion with the WPA and its members to identify concrete solutions to ensure our law enforcement has the resources they need to stop violent criminals.

Somehow, I don't believe her.

3 levels of government put up total of $550M for Phase 2 of North End sewage plant upgrades | CBC News

Some good news, though it looks like sewage dumping into the river won't even begin to be addressed until stage 3 and then it won't even be stopped completely.

The biosolids facilities store and treat sludge produced during the treatment of wastewater and convert it to biosolids that can be reused as fertilizer and soil.

The upgrades will also increase the plant's capacity, which will lessen the need to dump wastewater into bodies of water when the facility is overwhelmed.

"While this upgrade will address the city's roughly four to five per cent of nutrient loading that contributes to harmful algae blooms in and around Lake Winnipeg, we will continue to need to see a plan and actions to address the remaining 95 per cent that comes from other sources in Manitoba, from other provinces and from other states," he said.
