Village and RM face flood risk as spring thaw looms
Reeve George Boucher warns St Lazare remains protected by a dyke but the RM of Ellice could see residents relocated if water rises rapidly. A conference call with the water resources branch will decide whether to increase outflow from Shellmouth reservoir. Weather governs outcomes as drainage upgrades lessen bottlenecks but flood danger persists with a warm thaw.

Door Open for Appeal in Manitoba Police Case
The hearing before Justice Menzies extended into a second day as Brodsky pressed to keep an appeal option open. The Crown argued that shooting a police officer constitutes a severe crime, while Brodsky contended that police ranks should not receive unique penalties. A March trial date is set, with first-degree murder charges on the table and possible appeals following verdicts.
