Manitoba Autopac plan cuts seniors from benefits
The Manitoba government moves to limit income replacement for disabled seniors over 65 to four years under MPIC Autopac overhaul. No fault payouts cap at 90 percent of income up to $55,000, then fall 25 percent annually until zero by year five. Critics cite Charter rights concerns and loss of sue rights when the no fault system starts March 1, 1994. Autopac aims to save $500 million annually.

Bomb scare ends as Air Force bomb found near Rapid City shed
The Stanicks uncovered an intact 1945 practice bomb buried under their shed near No 10 highway. RCMP and Shilo base staff removed the ordnance, noting it was a non dangerous souvenir. In another event, a two year old boy was rescued after getting lost in bush near Gypsumville. Police and residents searched with rescue dogs after the child wandered half a mile and was found tangled in barbed wire, slightly scratched but safe. Manitoba became first province to certify a refrigeration and air conditioning workforce to handle ozone depleting substances under a new act, mandating recovery and recycling of such units.
