Russ Wyatt is undergoing addictions treatment at the Aurora Recovery Centre near Gimli, according to sources at city hall. The 16-year council veteran underwent drug and alcohol treatment in January at the Aurora centre, sources told CBC News in February. Wyatt did not inform the mayor, city clerk Marc Lemoine or council speaker Devi Sharma of the reason for his absence from city hall. "It's a really dark tunnel, and it's really, really hard," Lukes said, adding she's had a family member seek treatment for depression. The Aurora Recovery Centre is located north of Gimli.
