Roxy Theatre to feature Filipino cinema

An exact timeline for the Manitoba Water Services Board to notify communities on whether or not they’re receiving any type of support is not known at this time.

Councillor reports

• Councillor Darryl Gerrard provided an update on municipal budget discussions. He noted one item that has already received approval for this year is a small roof repair at the Beautiful Plains County Court House. The maintenance project’s cost is estimated at around $3,500.

• Councillor Yvonne Sisley shared positive news on the Louis Riel Day festivities at the Flats in Neepawa. Around 100 people attended the pancake breakfast, which raised just over $1,000 for the Jaws of Life cutter attachment that is being purchased for the Neepawa Volunteer Fire Department. Sisley noted that the purchase price for this type of equipment is around $6,000, so this support brought in through the pancake fundraiser will go a long way towards assisting in the purchase. As well, a chili cook-off took place, with the submission from Margaret Laurence Home taking the top prize. A thank you to everyone who participated to make the day, from volunteers, town staff and local businesses. A Handy-Van meeting was held on Tuesday, Feb. 14.
