Winnipeg man told to remove cars from river
Winnipeg conservationist W. Scott Neal was ordered to tow 15 dismantled car bodies from the Winnipeg River within 15 days. Officials said the plan to sink 22 wrecks as a dam would violate the Clean Environment Act and impede river flow. Neal claimed the cars would form a beaver-style dam for a waterfowl pond at his Lac du Bonnet area property.
