Winnipeg is ready for some spring cleaning.
With warm weather looking like it’s here to stay, city crews are set to begin working on Winnipeg’s streets, sidewalks, bridges, public parks and more as of Sunday — with the introduction of the annual yard waste collection program at the end of the month.
