Controversy Over Garbage Pits City Against Rural Manitoba
Winnipeg blocks rural use of its landfills Sum mit and Brady Road, as Browning Ferris Industries eyes a Rosser site just north of the city. The CEC approved BFI with 20 conditions and a provincial licence, but Winnipeg officials campaign against it, mailing a $100,000 anti-BFI brochure with anti-American tone. BFI seeks talks but gains no City consent amid broader rural access conflict.
