Carmen Prefontaine, vice-president of CUPE Manitoba, is running in the Oct. 25 byelection…. She said she supports Mayor Scott Gillingham’s vision of shifting some of the city’s safety investments toward social services and health-based interventions. “I’m not sure armed officers are always the answer — social workers, public health, and other resources need to be available,” she said. “We need to respond to emergencies with the help that’s needed.”
