At the last regular meeting, City Council reviewed a letter from the Federal and Provincial governments which announced funding for 350km of road improvements here in Manitoba.

 

That money will cover eight projects, including around 100km along Highway 6.

 

Even though some money is coming north to help improve the road, Councillor Duncan Wong says that the City needs to make sure that they continue to lobby for more.

 

The work on Highway 6 is slated for the area between Sasagiu Rapids and Paint Lake, as well between Lundar and Eriksdale.

 

Ottawa is set to chip in $143,967,500, while the Pallister Government will contribute $147,442,500.
