City hall held a disciplinary hearing Friday for an unknown number of Winnipeg firefighters who took part in a late April retirement party that broke coronavirus physical-distancing protocols and the provincial ban on gatherings of more than 10 people, Global News can confirm.
The city will interview at least two more Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service employees alleged to have taken part in the unsanctioned retirement party on May 25, the head of the city’s firefighter union, Alex Forrest, said.
Earlier this week, the city said the matter had been dealt with and the investigation was over. “The investigation has concluded and appropriate action has been determined,” a city communications staffer wrote in an email Wednesday.
