Assiniboine Park Conservancy blames contractors for flood damage: lawsuit
The non-profit entity behind one of Winnipeg's premier tourist attractions is seeking financial compensation through the courts in connection with alleged deficiencies in its construction. It's the latest of a number of legal claims now filed in the Leaf's relatively short history. The Assiniboine Park Conservancy says a flood occurring shortly after the Leaf opened caused "extensive water damage" to its third floor, according to a statement of claim filed in Manitoba Court of King's Bench on Dec. 13.
