VOL.33, NO.8 - AUGUST 2019 Published by Transcona’s Only Exclusive Community Paper 130 Victoria Ave. West • Phone: 204-222-7069 www.bondprinting.net/views.php Safe Streets and Community By Shawn Nason, City Councillor – Transcona Ward As summer has kicked into full swing, people continue to move about our community enjoying the many parks, restaurants, and local attractions that Transcona has to offer. It is time for a reminder to look out for our neighbours and ensure our communities remain a safe place for everyone. th On July 8 a Community town hall took place at Park City West Community Club which was attended by many of our neigh- bours. Councillor Kevin Klein (Chair of the Winnipeg Police Board), Members of the Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) and Repre- sentatives from the Citizens On Patrol Program (COPP) were in attendance to answer questions from our community. Transcona has fared much better than many of the other wards within the City in crime and violence-BUT- we are not immune. We need to be diligent in our community, keeping an eye out for what belongs and doesn’t belong in our neighbourhoods is critical. Having well-lit proper- ties with motion lights; securing your doors, gates and sheds; and lock- ing your vehicle (free of any valuable contents) are a couple quick ideas. It is critical if you observe behavior that seems out of place, or have been a victim of petty crime even if as simple as only your Tim Hortons money being taken from your vehicle—-Please report it to the WPS via either the non-emergency line 204.986.6222 or via online at https://www.winnipeg.ca/police/report/.
