WINNIPEG — An RCMP officer who punched and hit a Lake St. Martin First Nation man in the face with his Taser acted reasonably, the Independent Investigation Unit has found.

The incident happened in Lake St. Martin First Nation at about 5 p.m. on March 19, 2025.

Gypsumville RCMP went there to arrest a man wanted on a warrant for domestic violence and found a vehicle in a ditch and a man fleeing on foot.

The man ran into a home, where police tried to use a Taser to arrest him.

Dialysis services in Dauphin were restored on Monday after flooding closed the unit at the hospital in early July.

A temporary dialysis unit is set up inside the Community Health Services building while repairs continue at the main hospital, Prairie Mountain Health said in an update in its November Health Plus newsletter.

Patients who have been receiving dialysis treatment in other hospitals across the region should continue their treatments there “until they receive direct instructions from their care team,” the update said.

“Care teams will work with each patient to determine the treatment location that best meets their individual needs,” the update said.
