Kristen Villebrun and Wendy Bush hoped they wouldn't have to pray for Chedoke Creek, but four years after they first raised alarm about the water's condition, they were part of an Indigenous full moon ceremony to do just that. About 50 people showed up near Princess Point on the dark and frigid Monday evening for the monthly ceremony, which was particularly special as it focused on Chedoke Creek. The body of water that runs into Cootes Paradise had about 24 billion litres of sewage and storm water runoff leak into it due to a gate being left open.
École secondaire Neelin High School
Students at one of western Manitoba's biggest high schools will not be able to attend class on Tuesday. A water main break near École secondaire Neelin High School on Monday has temporarily resulted in no access to water and washroom facilities, the Brandon School Division announced in a memo. The division asks students to connect with their respective teachers remotely for online studies Tuesday, with the expectation of returning to classes Wednesday.
