A formal complaint has been filed with the province against La Broquerie Reeve Lewis Weiss, following his participation in a Steinbach rally protesting heightened public health restrictions due to the surge in COVID-19 cases. Weiss attended the rally, which drew roughly 100 people on Nov. 14, despite public health restrictions prohibiting gatherings of more than five people in Manitoba. Normandeau said he and four other councillors filed the complaint, ahead of a virtual council meeting Wednesday night. Still, Weiss attended and was one of the protesters fined $1,296 by enforcement officers. La Broquerie Reeve Lewis Weiss watches as he gets written a fine for nearly $1,300 for disregarding a public health order at a Steinbach rally against COVID-19 government restrictions on Saturday.
