This promise is now at risk because of delays during the last legislative session. Contact Minister Gord Mackintosh today and ask him to make this a priority.
This morning, the City of Winnipeg’s standing policy committee on infrastructure renewal and public works approved $330,000 for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Strategy. Yay! But wait a minute, what’s going to be cut now that the contract has been reduced by $70,000?
On August 28, Harbourside Farm in Pilot Mound, Manitoba, had nearly $8000 worth of meat product confiscated by inspectors.
