Further to our earlier Notices, and due to the on going pandemic situation in Manitoba and in line with public health directives, we will continue to take incremental steps towards re-opening. The Provincial Court of Manitoba remains open to hear applications with respect to urgent matters. This includes any urgent matters regarding out of custody proceedings and all matters which can be dealt with remotely. Throughout the Province, the Court remains open to hearing in custody matters, including trials and preliminary inquiries in the Court Centres (Winnipeg, Portage la Prairie, Brandon, Dauphin, The Pas, Thompson) and in the opened circuit locations set out below. In custody trials from circuit locations not yet opened, can be transferred to the related open Court Centre where possible.
