City of Winnipeg bylaw officers have issued their first ticket for breaking public health orders during the COVID-19 outbreak.
The city said its bylaw officers issued a ticket to a skateboarder after he refused to leave a closed park on Monday when asked to do so.
The incident took place at Varsity View Sportsplex, a city spokesperson told Global News, where 35-40 people were hanging out and skateboarding.
When bylaw officers arrived on scene, most of the people scattered, although the accused stayed behind and was uncooperative.
