January 18, 2018

Grassroots organizations in Winnipeg are calling on the province to address what they are calling a “meth crisis” in the city.

This comes following a fire set at a transitional housing complex by a client in the throes of a crystal methamphetamine addiction.

On Jan. 7 around 12:30 a.m. a man barricaded himself in a room on the top floor of the Morberg House and set a mattress on fire.
