Once again the Manitoba Law Courts building in Winnipeg opened its doors to thousands of Manitobans to celebrate Law Day.
On Sunday, April 15 MGEU members welcomed those who were curious to learn more about the people who provide the services that keep our legal system going.
Some members who work in the Law Courts building (including Sheriff’s Officers and Clerks of the Court) were on hand to give the public a behind-the-scenes glimpse of Manitoba’s court system.
Elementary and senior high school students staged mock trials, Sherriff’s Officers displayed the vehicles used to transport inmates to court, K-9 drug detection dogs demonstrated their skills and MGEU members provided guided tours.
Nearly 3,000 MGEU members work in the provincial legal system. Here are just some of the members who play an important role in keeping our province safe and strong:
