University of Manitoba reaches Collective Agreement

The University of Manitoba says its faculty association has ratified a four-year collective agreement.

President David Barnard says on the school's website that the deal brings stability for both students and faculty, and he congratulates the bargaining teams.

The proposal -- as per provincial legislation that has not been proclaimed -- includes no wage increase in the first year.

That's followed by point-7-5 per cent and one per cent raises in the second and third years

Residents who were evacuated from a northern Manitoba First Nation because of a wildfire are allowed to return home.

The Canadian Red Cross says there were more than one thousand evacuees from St. Theresa Point who had registered with them.

More than four-thousand people were forced to leave their homes in three Indigenous communities, including St. Theresa Point, when they were threatened by the fire.

The Red Cross says, ideally, all St. Theresa Point residents will be home in the next couple of days.
