The Manitoba First Nations Police Service will be moving out of its headquarters in Portage la Prairie later this fall to a new First Nation-owned facility North of Brandon.

An article in the Brandon Sun says the new facility will be part of a future conference centre that is currently under construction at the corner of Highway 10 and the Trans-Canada Highway on land owned by the Waywayseecappo First Nation.

MFNPS Interim Chief Jason Colin said in the article that they have outgrown the area that we’re in right now, adding they need the appropriate office space for our service, which has grown over the last couple of years.

The MFNPS currently serves 10 First Nation communities in Manitoba.

While the police service will still maintain these detachment locations, the Brandon location will now serve as its headquarters.

An Arthritis workshop slated for today in Gilbert Plains has also been postponed.

Manitoba is making moves to implement more maritime mercantile measures.

The new funding is for the Arctic Gateway Group (AGG) to develop rail and port infrastructure to make our province a player in ocean-based trade.

The Manitoba Government has announced a 36.4 million dollar investment over two years, which will create jobs and trade routes through the port of Churchill.

The AGG is a subsidiary of OneNorth, a partnership of 41 First Nations and Bayline communities in Manitoba.

The investment announced today builds on the Manitoba government’s previous commitments to restore critical rail service to Churchill and surrounding communities.

Tariffs may have been postponed by a month, but they are still on the minds of many local producer groups.

Cam Dahl, the Executive Director of Manitoba Pork, certainly has concerns about the impact these tariffs could have in less than a month.

"It would be very significant, and a very significant negative impact. Manitoba exports over $450 million worth of pork into the US every year. We export between 3 and 3.5 million live animals that are worth over $200 million."

With this new time gap, Dahl sees a chance to communicate openly with the state-side trade partners to plan ahead.

You can hear more from Cam On tomorrow's Noon-hour edition of Agriview.

As if the Extreme Cold Warning wasn’t enough, Mother Nature is doubling down with a fresh blast of heavy snow across the Parkland.

A Montana Low is set to sweep through the region starting Wednesday morning, bringing significant snowfall that could make travel treacherous. Current forecasts predict Dauphin and surrounding areas will see anywhere from 15 to 20 cm of snow—at times falling heavily—while Swan River and nearby areas are expected to receive between 10 and 20 cm.

In McCreary and much of the Parkland, projections range between 10 to 15 cm, but as always, these numbers could fluctuate. Along with the hefty snowfall, expect rapidly deteriorating road conditions, with potential road closures happening without warning.

If you're planning a trip to Winnipeg on Wednesday, the city is bracing for 10 to 20 cm of snow as well. As with any storm, actual amounts may vary, but one thing’s for sure, winter isn’t loosening its grip anytime soon.

Stay safe, stay warm, and if you can, stay off the roads.

Casinos will be under the microscope to crack down on money laundering, after the Manitoba Government announced firmer guidelines on transaction records.

Premier Wab Kinew noted that "Drug dealers often use casinos to launder their cash and we are making it easier for law enforcement to track down people bringing toxic drugs into our communities".

Casinos operated by Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries (MBLL) will now report suspicious transaction records directly to the Winnipeg Police Service and RCMP as well as the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC)

MBLL will also enhance its anti-money laundering team with staff and equipment and work with FINTRAC to improve information sharing to provincial agencies, noted the minister.

The Manitoba government will also invest $325,000 in surveillance equipment for MBLL.

As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that tariffs imposed on Canada would be paused for at least a month, Premier Wab Kinew is also pausing an earlier announcement.

On Sunday, he announced that all Manitoba Liquor Marts would be required to remove American liquor from shelves and not purchase any moving forward. This is no longer the case, announced by the Premier on Monday.

That means Liquor Marts will continue to provide American liquor for customers.

Earlier on Monday, Prime Minister Trudeau said U.S. President Donald trump will hold off on levying tariffs on Canada for at least 30 days after Canada made a series of commitments to improve security along the border.

Trudeau has said there will be 10,000 front-line personnel working along the border as a part of the push to make it safer.
