Thompson MLA Kelly Bindle said that he’s pleased the government is investing in our region and that the investment will help keep unemployed and low-income Manitobans in the community. He added that by connecting Manitobans looking for work with jobs that are in-demand, the government is delivering on their commitment to improve people’s lives while growing the local economy.

 

The projects being supported are among 86 projects across the province being funded by a $25M investment.
