The company that owns Shoppers Drug Mart is suing the City of Thompson over what the company says was a “reckless and inexplicable” response by the city’s fire department to a 2023 blaze that destroyed a drugstore in the northern Manitoba city.
The lawsuit, filed with Manitoba Court of King’s Bench by George Weston Limited last Thursday, claims the municipality’s negligence is to blame for damages incurred during the blaze.
On March 9, 2023, Thompson Fire and Emergency Services responded twice to a fire at the Shoppers Drug Mart in the Burntwood Plaza, a strip mall on Selkirk Avenue.
