Reporting Health Order Violations

As the number of COVID-19 cases remains high in Winnipeg, Community Service Ambassadors have returned to City-owned parks to help educate people what is allowed under the current pandemic restrictions. Ambassadors will be taking an educational approach, but please know they can contact By-Law Enforcement Officers who can issue tickets under the public health orders if that is determined to be needed. The majority of people follow health orders, but violations are still being reported to my office on a regular basis.
