What weapons detectors at Winnipeg's Health Sciences Centre found

Over the last few years, Manitoba's hospitals have seen increased violence against doctors, nurses and other staff.It's a growing trend across the country, but in this province, it has triggered strong reaction from the Manitoba Nurses Union. Last week, union members voted to grey-list St. Boniface Hospital. It’s the third hospital to receive the undesirable classification after Thompson General Hospital in December and Winnipeg's Health Sciences Centre in August.With mounting pressure and after a slew of violent incidents, the province introduced several measures to address health-care workers' concerns. One of those measures is a fleet of AI-powered weapon-detection scanners installed at public entrances at HSC.Within an eight-month period in 2025, the technology detected more than 1,500 potential weapons. This week, we look back at the violence and hear from the head of the nurses' union, who says the weapons detectors aren’t enough.
