Statement from Manitoba Health and Seniors Care



To protect the health and safety of staff and clients, the RBC Convention Centre vaccine super site in Winnipeg has been closed in response to a suspected gas leak. The building will remain closed for approximately two hours while Manitoba Hydro and the Winnipeg Fire and Paramedic Service assess the situation. Traffic outside of the building is also being affected and may be rerouted.

Anyone who has an appointment this afternoon is asked to not come to the super site until further notice. Additional updates, including when the building is able to safely reopen, will be provided by @MBGov on Twitter and at www.manitoba.ca/vaccine. The province will followup directly with individuals whose appointments are affected, if the province has their contact information, to reschedule. Otherwise, individuals who are affected by today’s closure will be able to rebook by phone or online.
