The Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) says it has launched a crime suppression initiative in the William Whyte neighbourhood following a surge in violent crime in February.

The area saw three homicides last month—two on February 15 in the 300 block of Alfred Avenue and another on February 27 in the 500 block of Magnus Avenue. Police also responded to multiple firearm-related offences, arsons, and assaults, raising concerns among both the community and law enforcement.

The Classic 107 Online Auction, presented by Penner Auctions, kicks off today with hundreds of exciting items available for bidding. 

The auction is a great way to bid, buy, save, and support local businesses in Winnipeg and Manitoba.
