This is the best summary I could come up with:

Dozens of tenants were given cash and told to immediately vacate a Winnipeg apartment on the weekend after a notice saying the building is shut down was posted at the front entrance.

A bed mattress, bags of clothes and furniture were piled near a garbage bin outside Stratford Hall, a three-storey apartment building located on 285 College Ave. on Tuesday.

WFPS ordered that the exits must remain clear and that a "fire watch" be put in place over the weekend, the city said in an email on Tuesday.

On Saturday, Levasseur said she returned to her apartment and found her suite had been emptied and her furniture and clothes were thrown in the back lane.

Palmer said she heard her brother being told that if he didn't leave by Monday, police and the fire department would throw him out, and that he would be better off working with the people talking to him.

Marion Willis, executive director of St. Boniface Street Links, says they have housed people experiencing homelessness in the building.
