Neepawa Citizens on Patrol

Neepawa Citizens on Patrol is excited to share news of receiving support from MCSC, BPCU and Westward Ford to replace our current patrol vehicle.  The purpose of the grants were to allow Neepawa COPP to upgrade their current patrol vehicle that was aging, requiring repairs and was not accessible to all members.

Neepawa Citizen’s on Patrol was the proud recipient of a (MCSC) Manitoba Community Services Council grant this year.  We received a total of $10,000 in combination of cash and bingos that we volunteer at with Manitoba Lotteries in Winnipeg.  MCSC awards grants to non-profit groups that provide community service in Manitoba.  Neepawa Citizens on Patrol would like to thank the Manitoba Community Services Council for their financial assistance that helped to make the purchase of a new patrol vehicle possible and it will go to support service to our local community for years to come.

In addition, the Beautiful Plains Credit Union generously stepped up to help us purchase the vehicle that was chosen as a replacement when we fell short, requiring further funding.  When word of this got to Beautiful Plains Credit Union, they were quick to provide support for our local community service group.  BPCU made a capital donation in the amount of $2,000 in order to fill in the final pieces of the financing puzzle. 

Finally, the last piece of the puzzle was the purchase of the replacement vehicle itself.  As proud community members, we always want to support local businesses.  Westward Ford is a local business with a number of quality new and used vehicles, one of which caught our attention more than any other– a 2009 Chevrolet Equinox.  

Westward Ford was really good and supported our group by giving us a fantastic deal on the vehicle we were purchasing.  We were very happy with the community support seen here from Westward Ford and Beautiful Plains Credit Union.  It was only because of this team effort and support could we have accomplished our goal.  We would like to take this opportunity and thank Beautiful Plains Credit Union and Westward Ford for your support.
