North Side

[Northern Light]

Just a quick question, as an outsider looking for insights.....

In the last few months I've seen all sorts of stories on TV about Winnipeg's north side, which, well, weren't flattering.

I have only a vague of memory of visiting your fair city, probably 20 years ago; but I do remember going north out of downtown into an area that looked, much needier than I remember seeing on other travels in Canada.

But those memories don't offer any details, I was a child then.

So I'm curious to hear from resident Winnipeg residents....

What is the real story with the 'north side' ....

Why is it in distress? (if it is)

And is anything being done about it?

Thanks in advance for any input.
