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.
