We are aware of the major, ongoing police operation in Winnipeg’s St. James neighborhood. While this active situation is outside the Sargent Avenue area, we are always closely monitoring developments to ensure our members remain informed on safety dynamics across the city.
We understand that reports of gunfire and heavy police presence can cause concern for business owners, residents, and staff throughout Winnipeg. We urge people to still shop at the businesses in that area. A decline in business because of crime hurts the community as a whole.
