Portage la Prairie curfew plan sparks debate among council
Manitoba towns ponder curfews as police and officials weigh risks and benefits. Portage la Prairie moves to bar youths 12 and under 11pm to 6am and older groups to midnight with fines 25 to 200 dollars. Local officials warn curfews affect all teens, while some push targeted enforcement and faster justice. Swan River and Lynn Lake have similar curfews with mixed results and limited charges. In Russell and area, officials doubt curfew effectiveness and urge constructive youth programs over broad ordinances. Police emphasize catching the few offenders and pursuing court orders to curb violations.
