The Winnipeg Police Board wants to hear from you. 

They are looking for feedback from the community on how Winnipeggers would like to see policing delivered in our city. 

The findings will help establish a strategic plan for the WPS from 2026 to 2030.

A couple of community consultation sessions have been planned to allow Winnipeggers to speak their minds.

Other provinces have recently joined the effort, as part of a national plan to boost the economy and respond to tariffs imposed by the United States.

Speaking ahead of the premiers' conference in Saskatoon, Kinew said some 1,000 hotel rooms are being made available for evacuees in the province's capital city.

"Nobody wants to sleep on a cot for more than a day or two, even in an emergency," Kinew said.

"We're connecting folks who need those enhanced accessibility supports first and then broadening it out to everybody else who needs help, too."
