Move - In Special
River levels in Winnipeg have finally receded
sufficiently to expose the Assiniboine
Riverwalk.
On Monday, the Red River at the James
Avenue monitoring station dropped to 8.2
feet above normal winter ice levels, exposing
the Assiniboine Riverwalk, which stands
at 8.5 feet.
It is expected to take days for crews to
clear the riverwalk of mud and other debris.
The riverwalk had been under water since
April 27, near the start of the late spring
flood of 2013. That’s a total of 80 days.
In 2012, when there was no spring flood,
the riverwalk was under water for a grand
total of five days, from March 21 to March
25. In 2011, a record flood year across the
Assiniboine River basin, the Riverwalk was
under water for 156 days, from April 1 to
Sept. 3.

AN inquest into the killing of a 21- month old
infant resumed Monday, with questions being
raised about the accuracy of a special investigative
report into the Awasis aboriginal child and
family services agency.
Jaylene Redhead was killed by her mother, Nicole,
in November 2009 while they were living in
a government- funded native women’s shelter.
Nicole Redhead pleaded guilty to manslaughter
after she admitted to suffocating Jaylene while
living at the shelter under Awasis’ supervision.
Justine Grain, the special investigator with the Office
of the Child Advocate, reviewed Awasis’ handling
of the child and concluded in a report the agency
failed to ensure the safety of the child and hadn’t
met the basic standards of care management.
Under questioning from Awasis counsel Jeff
Harris, Grain said she wrote her report largely
by reviewing the file history and without interviewing
any of the Awasis care workers who dealt
with Jaylene and her mother.
Harris said the Awasis case workers would
have had information about the agency’s plan for
the infant and her mother, which was not included
in the case files.
“ You were the investigator,” Harris said. “ Your
job was to get the facts. You did not get the facts.”
While Nicole Redhead told the inquest in December
she felt abandoned by Awasis, Harris referred
to a self- evaluation written by Nicole Redhead
who said Awasis had provided her with all
the support and help she needed.
The inquest continues.
Redhead killed her daughter by placing her
hand over her mouth and holding it there for up
to two minutes. After the baby’s body went limp,
Nicole Redhead placed her in her crib, where she
was not discovered for several hours.
Awasis seized Jaylene in October 2007, shortly
after her birth and obtained a series of guardianship
orders. By December 2008, Awasis supported
the child’s return to Nicole Redhead in a
controlled setting, living at a treatment centre
under Awasis supervision.
Redhead’s two older children were seized by
child welfare authorities and she was pregnant
with a fourth child at the time of the killing. That
child was born and is a permanent ward.
At Nicole Redhead’s sentencing hearing, it was
revealed Jaylene suffered more than 30 separate
injuries damaging nearly every part of her body
in the days before she died.
