WINNIPEG — City council met Tuesday to discuss an audit that found a project to build four new fire halls in Winnipeg was mismanaged, lacked appropriate oversight, didn’t follow city policies and went at least $3 million over budget.

Dismissed former fire paramedic chief Reid Douglas was among those who spoke.

Deepak Joshi, the deputy chief administrative officer, was named the new acting chief administrative officer, replacing Phil Sheegl on an interim basis.
