The Flinty Boardwalk Committee has installed new lights along the Flinty Boardwalk.  The Committee’s Dave Price says they were fortunate earlier in the year to be able to round up funding to replace the old lights with LEDs…….

“We got funds from the Manitoba Building Sustainable Communities Fund, we got a generous donation from the Company here Hudbay, from the Rotarians and also from the Flin Flon Neighborhood Revitalization Corporation so we gave Beech Electric the go ahead to do the job and the reaction so far has been very positive, they are very pretty.  One of our members said it reminded him of a string of pearls shining off the lake.”

Price adds they will give nocturnal wanderers a brighter and more even illumination than the old yellow lights and will also draw significantly less hydro power.
