The DVD “BLUE WINNIPEG 2009 – For the Record”documents the activities and presentations from concerned citizens and groups about Winnipeg City Council’s plans to partner with a multinational corporation. This private company would receive up to 49% shares in the waste water services and would design, construct, finance, and operate the water treatment plants.
Included in this video is a record of the July 21st demonstration in opposition to these proposed changes to the Water and Waste Water Utility at Winnipeg City Hall, the day before the city council voted 10 to 6 in favour of the plan.
The DVD features the September 21st Blue Winnipeg presentation by the National Chairperson of the Council of Canadians Maude Barlow with Winnipeg City Coucillor Jenny Gerbasi and research associate with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives Lynne Fernandez.
Also included is a January 2010 update from Michael Welch of the Council of Canadians’ Winnipeg Chapter. The opposition continues!
Portions of the proceeds from the sale of the DVD will go to the Council of Canadian’ Winnipeg Chapter. Thank you for your support.
