As we enter this flood season, the following is a reminder of the general order of responsibilities when assistance is required:

Step 1

Producers/operators/community representatives/individuals are the first point of responsibility to deal with their own emergency situation.

Step 2

If individuals cannot provide appropriate response to their emergency situation, their local authority is the first point of contact for emergency-related information and assistance.

Step 3

If the local authority cannot handle the situation, the local authority will contact Manitoba Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) for assistance. If EMO requires Agriculture’s assistance, they will assign an issue to the department’s Emergency Planning Leader, who then works with the department’s Executive Management Committee to direct activities to address the emergency.

If animals are in distress, please contact the Animal Care Line at 204-945-8000 (in Winnipeg), 1-888-945-8001 (toll free) or animalcare@gov.mb.ca.

Winnipeg Animal Services is exploring the idea of working with a local veterinary clinic to establish a satellite spay/neuter clinic out of their facility at 1057 Logan Avenue.  Under the program, the clinic would have an experienced veterinarian and RVT to perform surgeries for dogs at the animal shelter a few days a week.  If your clinic is interested, please email Animal Services’ General Manager Leland Gordon at lgordon@winnipeg.ca
