Winnipeg, MB – On Sunday, September 16, members of the Winnipeg Police Service and the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service will conduct a live training exercise inside the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. As such, citizens will notice a congregation of emergency vehicles in the general area.
The training is important as it allows first responders from all agencies to work together in a relevant public space to coordinate a response in the event emergency services are needed quickly. It allows responders to practice skills, identify gaps and build relationships.
The City of Winnipeg would like to thank the Canadian Museum for Human Rights for allowing this important training exercise to take place in its facility.
The training will take place after the museum closes on Sunday. The Forks will remain open during the training. Signage will be posted in the area notifying citizens of the training activity.
