Ending special duty helps staff cruisers

Editorial 4 minute read 6:36 AM CDT

If you’re not from Winnipeg, the first time you see it can be a little alarming.

You’ve come to the grocery store for a week’s groceries, gotten what you need, and made your way through the checkouts. And then, with your cart of bagged groceries out in front of you, you head to the door and meet a pair of fully-kitted-out police officers, standing and talking with their thumbs hooked into their vests.

Occasionally, they give you a once-over with that “are-you-going-to-make-trouble” stare that seems to be a particular talent of police officers. Often, they don’t look at you at all.

You look around. Has something happened?

Eligible parents will have their child-care fees waived come Sept. 13.

The province announced Wednesday child care would be free for about 4,100 children from 3,000 families as part of a budget commitment to eliminate the $2-per-day fee for low-income families.

“This announcement that we’re making here today is going to be hugely, hugely impactful for the families that rely on this important, important service of child care,” Education and Early Childhood Learning Minister Tracy Schmidt said at a news conference at Panda Bear Day Care.

She said the program would save families between $520 and $2,600 per child per year.

Province offers COVID relief with $200M in budget tax cuts

Larry Kusch 6 minute read Wednesday, Apr. 7, 2021

Anticipating a $1.6-billion deficit this year amid a global pandemic, the Progressive Conservatives are cutting taxes by $200 million, most of which is in the form of a hefty rebate to homeowners and farmers on their education levies.

Owners of residential and farm properties will receive a 25 per cent rebate of the school division special levy and the community revitalization levy payable.

A homeowner with a $1,700 school division special levy will receive a rebate cheque of $425 this year.

Property owners will receive their rebate cheques at about the same time their municipal taxes are due. They won’t have to apply for the rebate, which will be automatically sent by the province.

On Wednesday, the bright green building, at 292 River Ave., was boarded up and charred on the outside.

Crews from the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service responded at 8:13 p.m. Tuesday to battle the blaze, said the city in a news release. It was under control within the hour.
