BREAKING: Police and City of Winnipeg crews are tearing down a blockade at the entrance to a Winnipeg landfill four days after a judge granted an injunction ordering protesters to clear the road.
CBC NewsWinnipeg police give update on landfill blockadeWinnipeg police provide an update on the dismantling of a blockade outside the Brady Road Landfill.
Heavy machinery scooped up the pieces of wood and tires that formed the barricade and deposited it into a truck on Tuesday morning, while police spoke to the protesters at the site. The blockade was built on July 6 after Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson said her government won't pay for a search of the Prairie Green landfill, north of Winnipeg, where police believe the remains of two First Nations women — Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran — were taken last year.
A Manitoba judge granted the City of Winnipeg the injunction on Friday afternoon, but the protesters continued to occupy the road. Winnipeg police confirmed they're at the blockade site. They're holding a news conference about the situation at the landfill at 11:05 a.m., which CBC News will livestream here, on Facebook and CBC Gem.A skid steer breaks down part of the blockade at the Brady Road landfill on Tuesday.
