This past week we’ve been covering the reactions to the jail closing.
If you’re concerned about the closure, there are some events this week you can show your support at.
On Monday and Tuesday, it all culminates with the town hall meeting and rally.
Monday at 5:30, the city and RM of Dauphin are hosting a town hall meeting with hopes that those attending get informed, take action, and contact Premier Brian Pallister, Justice Minister Cliff Cullen, and local MLA Brad Michaleski. The meeting will take place at Credit Union Place in the Aspen Lodge.
Then on Tuesday, a rally lead by the MGEU will be taking place at 4:30. Starting at the MGEU building at 322 Main St., the rally will march up to the jail where there will be guest speakers. President of the MGEU, Michelle Gawronsky says they are holding the rally to turn around the decision and leave the jail open until a new one can be built as was originally planned in 2013. Those unable to march or make it in time can join the rally at the jail, at 5 pm Tuesday.
