Winnipeg's new mayor has shaken up the composition of the city's police board, replacing three businesspeople with new appointees.

The City of Winnipeg is considering a symbolic move toward making the observance of holidays more inclusive. A motion coming before city council's human rights committee calls on the province to change the Manitoba Employment Standards Code to allow workers to substitute statutory holidays for days that are more meaningful to them.

A recommendation to allow workers to swap holidays for another day more meaningful to them is being considered at city call, but some worry it would be a step backwards.

Winnipeg's police chief says the city needs to hire more 911 operators and dispatchers to handle increasing call volumes and reduce the burden on existing staff at the emergency call centre.

Bob ‘Doc’ Holliday, a long-time Winnipeg reporter, pro-wrestling promoter and community advocate, died following a battle with cancer at the age of 80, friends and family confirmed to CTV News Winnipeg.

The chair of the Winnipeg Police Board says it is up to members of the Indigenous community to advocate for a search of the landfill north of the city where it is believed the bodies of two Indigenous women killed by an alleged serial killer are located.

Several Indigenous organizations are criticizing Winnipeg police for not searching a landfill where the remains of two women killed by an alleged serial killer are believed to be, and are asking for help from Ottawa.

The daughters of Morgan Harris along with a group of allies and advocates blocked traffic on Sunday afternoon near the Brady Landfill to call for an extensive search of the facility for any missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people.

Winnipeg's chief of police says he has no plans to resign and supports exploring options to recover the remains of two Indigenous women who are believed to be in a landfill outside the city.
