The Wrap: Experts on landfill search, new deal for Morgan Barron and RWB’s summer school

Good evening. Here’s a look at what our newsroom has been working on today:

Specialists said health and safety risks can be mitigated during a search for the remains of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran at Prairie Green Landfill, just north of the city in the RM of Rosser. Meanwhile, an injunction to end demonstrations had not been enforced as of Monday afternoon at Brady Road landfill.

Mike McIntyre spoke with Morgan Barron, who signed a new two-year deal with the Jets.

And while summer usually means vacation, six young hopefuls from the RWB’s Recreational Division are currently dancing full days, six days a week in the RWB School’s Summer Session in the hopes that they will be heading to study with the Professional Division in the fall.
