There was a lot on the menu at this year’s Neepawa and Area Settlement Services Newcomers Day-Camp! This project, supported by Healthy Together Now funding, provided local newcomer youth, between the ages of 10 and 15 with opportunities to build their food skills, as well as introduce some of the local recreation opportunities in the Neepawa community.
