A court hearing on an injunction to end a seven-day blockade at a Winnipeg landfill has been adjourned until Thursday.

The city filed an application Tuesday to the Court of King’s Bench seeking the removal of protesters from the Brady Road landfill.

Dozens of protesters have blocked the main road demanding a search of a different landfill north of Winnipeg where it’s believed the remains of two slain Indigenous women were disposed last year.
