The products were also sold to medical clients through Rosebud Productions Inc., Open Fields Winnipeg, Open Fields Saskatchewan and Médicibis in Quebec.

Both Health Canada and the recalling company, iNaturally Organic Inc., have received reports of adverse reactions.

‘Parental rights’ issue resurfaces

Maggie Macintosh 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Trustee campaign material that condemns rainbow flags is being met with outrage of all kinds, written complaints and, in one case, a cease-and-desist order.

“Parental rights,” including questions about classroom diversity, equity and inclusion policies, are resurfacing heading into school board elections across Manitoba.

“People are trying to advance their politics and their issues while simultaneously calling teachers ideologues and brainwashers,” said Shannon Moore, an associate professor at the University of Manitoba who studies sexual health education. “And I find that rich.”

Moore said parents have a right to choose independent school or homeschool, but they do not have a right to dictate curriculum that is currently developed using research and mainstream morals.

EPC votes to award $115-M sewage plant upgrade development contract to Canadian arm of U.S.-based company

Joyanne Pursaga 5 minute read 5:58 PM CDT

The Canadian branch of a U.S. company is one vote away from winning a $115-million North End sewage treatment plant upgrade contract Winnipeg’s mayor expects will produce many local jobs.

Council’s executive policy committee voted to award the development phase agreement for the third and final portion of the $3.1-billion upgrade project to Kiewit Construction Services, pending final city council approval.

The company is a branch of Kiewit Canada Group, whose parent company is located in Omaha, Neb., according to its website.

While there has been a renewed push for governments to buy local in and beyond Winnipeg, Mayor Scott Gillingham said this contract should prove very beneficial to the city’s economy.

Federal Court awards OCN $27M, 62 years after construction of hydro dam

Nicole Buffie 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 12:02 PM CDT

The Federal Court has ordered Ottawa pay Opaskwayak Cree Nation $27 million over damages suffered due to the construction of the Grand Rapids hydro dam in the 1960s.

In a decision dated Sept. 3, Federal Court Justice Sébastien Grammond says the federal government had a fiduciary duty to protect the community from the impacts of the dam.

“When the Crown exercises a discretionary power over an Indigenous interest, it has a fiduciary duty and it must exercise the discretion in the best interests of the Indigenous group,” the ruling said. “Canada breached its fiduciary duty to OCN because it approved the (project) without ensuring that the impacts of the Grand Rapids dam on OCN’s traditional way of life were mitigated or compensated.”

The First Nation took the federal government to court in February over impacts on the community after the dam, located about 145 kilometres southeast of Opaskwayak Cree Nation, was installed on the Saskatchewan River in 1964. The case was heard over 14 days in a judge-alone trial in Winnipeg.

‘She was looking to destroy me’: convicted harasser faces new charges

Dean Pritchard 6 minute read 6:54 PM CDT

When Agnieszka Ciochon-Newton moved into the 55-plus apartment building on Stradbrook Avenue last year, she came across as “timid, soft-spoken and sensitive,” said building manager Tanya Owen.

Little did Owen know the meek-looking 58-year-old woman would soon turn her life and the lives of many of her tenants upside down and threaten her career and family.

“She was looking to destroy me for a simple tenant disagreement,” Owen said Thursday.

Court records show Ciochon-Newton was arrested earlier this month and charged with seven counts of criminal harassment, two counts of uttering threats and one count each of fraud, breaking and entering, attempting to obstruct justice, intimidation of a justice official, mischief and defamatory libel.

MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) or important decisions until noon today. After that, the moon moves from Scorpio into Sagittarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Your idealism is aroused, perhaps because you feel sympathy for the suffering of someone far away. Because you are proactive by nature, you might do something to help in any way you can. Pay attention to what you say and do. Expect detours.

Winnipeg chamber chair seeks to get creative

Could Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre tickets be the next company-wide perk?

It’s a question Bob Somers is posing. He’s slated to take the reins as Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce board chair on Oct. 1.

“There’s just such a barrier to engagement with the creative sector,” said Somers, a principal landscape architect at Scatliff + Miller + Murray.

He’s attended chamber events over the past 20 years. Many videos shown at luncheons come without local music or a credit to the filmmaker, Somers said.
