Living on one of the corners around Hazel M. Kellington Elementary School (HMK), Jim Suski has seen people run the stop signs at both corners without slowing down. Now, he and several other community members are trying to do something about the traffic behaviour around the school. He believes implementing a school zone speed limit reduction to 30 km/h could help prevent accidents around the Neepawa school.
The change would have to be implemented by the Town, as the school board has no authority over road regulations.

The Town of Neepawa goes to great efforts to make recycling easy. Blue bins are for recycling, but as is obvious from this photo, there’s a lot more than recycling going into the open access blue bins.
