The Manitoba government will fund four new infrastructure projects that will support the communities of Norway House and Cormorant.
In Norway House there will be 510 thousand dollars for heat trace replacement that will prevent the water and sewer lines from freezing and reduce maintenance costs, 224 thousand will purchase a snow plow and 247 thousand to expand the maintenance garage to house public works vehicles.
In Cormorant 475 thousand dollars will be used for the new Turner Drive subdivision water and sewer lines which will meet the needs for serviced lots in the community.
Speaking in The Pas yesterday Northern Affairs Minister Eric Robinson said
these investments are good news for the north as they will provide communities with safe drinking water, clean and clear roads and will help the future development of these communities.
