Hey there, time traveller!

Coun. Ross Eadie may soon return to the Winnipeg Police Board.
A new motion headed to executive policy committee recommends appointing the three-term Mynarski councillor to the civilian oversight board once again.
Eadie was shuffled off the police board in November 2018, when council voted to instead select Coun. Kevin Klein to become chairman and Coun. Markus Chambers as the second elected member. The board can include a maximum of two council members, though it requires at least one.
Prior to that vote, Eadie had served on the police board since November 2014.
The new EPC motion notes Eadie is interested in filling the role once again, and meets the requirements to become a member, calling for him to be appointed.
Eadie would fill a vacancy created when Coun. Brian Mayes resigned from his board seat in March. At the time, Mayes deemed the board’s relationship with city council “dysfunctional,” citing arguments over its jurisdiction in overseeing the Winnipeg Police Service.
Eadie’s selection would require a full council vote.
