Plan for addiction rehabilitation home in upscale Winnipeg neighbourhood gets resistance

Dozens of residents of an upscale southwest Winnipeg neighbourhood are trying to overturn a City of Winnipeg decision to allow a home to be temporarily used for live-in addiction recovery services.

Ninety five separate notices of appeal against the decision have been entered as exhibits for a Sept. 11 hearing, along with an additional 75 letters in support of the appeal (some from the same people who filed notices).

A single letter backing the project, and opposing the appeal, has also been filed.
