Leadership from Peguis First Nation, Fisher River Cree Nation, Kinonjeoshtegon First Nation and Harwill have collectively agreed to begin Vehicle Searches at both Check Points, Highway 224 and Mi-Ki-Nak Road entrances. Searches will be at the discrestion of the Checkpoint staff.
As well, Peguis First Nation (By-Law – RESPONSE TO COVID-19 PANDEMIC), Fisher River Cree Nation (Emergency Measures By-Law) and Kinonjeoshtegon First Nation (BCR) with the support for the RCMP have agreed to adopt the Province of Manitoba’s Non-Compliance Fines for individuals and businesses breaking orders under The Public Health Act to help reduce the spread of the virus including:
• restrictions on public gatherings to 10 or fewer people,
• require the closure of non-essential businesses, and
• enforcement of social distancing measures by businesses and services that remain open including ensuring a two-metre distance is kept between people in the facility or premises.
• As well to those individuals who do not abide by the Self Isolation/Monitoring guidelines set by local Public Health Services.
The fines are $486 for individuals and $2,542 for businesses . The RCMP will have the responsibility of handling tickets and fines.
If you have any health related questions, please contact Fisher River Health Services at 204.645.2689; for Checkpoint related questions, contact the Administration Office at 204.645.2171.
