Blockade continues at Winnipeg landfill after deadline passes

Jul 10, 2023 | 11:27 AM

WINNIPEG — Dozens of protesters are continuing to block a Winnipeg landfill after a city-imposed deadline ordering them to leave passed. 

The barricade at the Brady Road landfill was reinforced with more than a dozen tires and wood planks this morning.

The blockade began Thursday after the Manitoba government decided against searching a different landfill north of the city, Prairie Green, where the remains of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran are believed to have been dumped.

Melissa Robinson, a cousin of Harris, says she and other supporters are not going anywhere.
