At their Zoom meeting last night City Council received a notice from Multi-Stewardship Manitoba. It advised the City will receive just over 124,600 dollars paid on a quarterly basis in four equal payments. This amount represents 313 tonnes of recycled material at a rate of 382 dollars per tonne.  It also includes the Northern Allowance of 40 dollars per tonne but does not include the portion owed from newspaper stewards.

Council received a letter advising them Nisokapawino Forestry management in The Pas is undertaking development of an updated 20 year plan that will set a sustainable management direction from 2025 to 2044.  As part of that development they will keep all communities and resource users up to date with information throughout the process and provide opportunities to answer questions and gather feedback. They will be organizing information sessions in our community.

Council approved the purchase of an Airport grader at a cost just under 398 thousand dollars with federal funding assistance and an Airport friction tester at a cost of just over 6 thousand dollars.

Council also renewed the contract with Ted Elliott of Skjold Property Inspections Limited for provision of building standards and general by-law enforcement.
