Winnipeg Conducts Downtown Cleanup, Removes Needles
4.0
Winnipeg's parks branch says a downtown cleanup sweep collected 6,358 needles, 177 weapons, 659 bags of drug remnants and 1,293 pieces of paraphernalia across 16 inner-city parks between April 14 and Oct. 3. The city report, authored by parks manager Dave Domke, calls the six-month program successful and notes parks were made safer. The city plans to continue the program through 2028 and add six more sites next year.
