Porky Packers case reaches Supreme Court over slaughter plant dispute
A lengthy legal battle in The Pas spanned Queen's Bench, Municipal Board, Manitoba Court of Appeal and finally the Supreme Court. Porky Packers fought zoning and health by laws to operate a meat processing plant, with key figures including Russ Tawse and Cal Gibson. The Supreme Court reversed earlier damages rulings and found no liability by town officials, while costs and potential damages remained debated.
