Mayor de Groot spoke of Neepawa’s pre-budget process during the Nov. 9 Neepawa Rotary meeting. Fiscal services make up 41.5 per cent of the budget. He also talked about the new code red communication system, which allows registered users to receive messages on their phone or other device regarding emergency or essential situations. It can be programmed for mass or local distribution. Canada 150th was discussed as well, “The celebration will occur from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2017. There is an application for funding for Neepawa to provide an all weather walking path around the Flats area. There is a community meeting at 7 p.m. at Chicken Corral on Nov. 30, with an invitation to groups to have a Canada 150th project. Amanda Novak, Leisure Services manager, announced a grant writing workshop to take place on Dec. 7 and volunteers are needed to sponsor or assist July 1 activities.”
