The Town of Neepawa wants to know if there’s any local interest in the construction of a new, permanent skate park. The current seasonal park, located north of the RCMP building, has been in service for just over 10 years. The original cost for materials and assembly for the ramps in 2005 was around $10,000, with the majority of that investment provided by the Town.

Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation quietly implemented a new policy on highway mowing this year. In the past, provincial highways were mowed two or even more times a year but not any more. Only Hwy. 1 is being mowed more than once a season. All other highways are now subject to Phase One mowing which happens after August 24 and that mowing is contracted out. In addition, MIT used to accommodate requests from towns like Neepawa and Minnedosa for special mowing in advance of special community events such as Minnedosa’s Fun Fest or the former Neepawa Lily Festival. Those request won’t be met any longer either.
