The Rural Municipality of Glenella-Lansdowne has been recognized with two awards from the Manitoba Good Roads Association (MGRA).

The province is split into divisions and awards are given out in each division for different achievements, not all necessarily to do with roads. 

The RM of Glenella-Lansdowne won the most improved municipal roads in their division for this year. Marty and Terry Klassen, who live in that municipality, won the best farm home ground award in the division. 

The municipality pays a fee to be part of the MGRA, and are automatically considered for awards such as the most improved roads. The RM of Glenella-Lansdowne nominated the Klassens to be considered for the best farm home ground award for their district. 

The Town of Neepawa also received an award from the MGRA. It was recognized as the winner of the Urban Beautification Competition for towns with a population between 2,001 and 7,500.

The awards ceremony will be held Tuesday, April 12, 2016 at the Royal Oak Inn in Brandon and all the awards given out by MGRA will be presented there.
