Is there anyplace in the city that can test soil? Concerned about chemical vandalism.

Just a thought I wonder if Ag Canada / Research station Brandon could help you out .

Probably the best soil test lab is A and L laboratories, I’m pretty sure they are in Ontario. You might be able to find a local agronomist to collect gps located three depth samples and send them to A and L.  
You would have to check with them though as I’m not sure if they test for soil contamination, it’s usually for soil nutrition.

For what? Labs are not CSI. You tell them what to test for and pay for it and they will.  
ALS or Bureau Veritas, both in Winnipeg.  
Depending on what you get tested it can be low two digits to three digits per test

You need to know what you want to test for and how to complete an appropriate test. You also need to know how to read the lab report when it comes back and what environmental criteria you are comparing the numbers to. If you don't know how to read the lab report, it's a waste of money.  
Generally you can call a lab (like ALS, AGAT, Bureau Veritas, Element Technologies, etc) with what parameters you want to test for (be sure to tell them you are testing soil and not water) and they will ship you out a cooler and the supplies (where its bags, jars, bottles, etc) as long as you provide a credit card. Then you would ship it to them (be sure you ship the samples at the right temperature - depending what you are sampling for) and wait for the report.  
If you are unsure of what to sample for, it's best to ask an environmental company to help you out, but it won't be cheap. There's lots of environmental companies in the province, a quick google search will help you decide who to call. Good luck!
