Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson was in Flin Flon on Friday to officially kick off her campaign tour and made a major announcement regarding a new swimming pool for the city.

Stefanson says she and her PC  party know how much the community is looking forward to getting the new pool built.  "  Well I heard loud and clear the last time I was in Flin Flon that they really want to make sure the pool gets built here, so we are making a campaign announcement today of ten million dollars towards that. I think it is going to be wonderful for the community. I can also say that I was out at Callinex today meeting with them and  there is lots of exciting things happening in this community and I am very excited for the future for Flin Flon."

Stefanson also stopped in the Pas and the  Garden Hill and ST Theresa Point First Nations  meeting with different people in those communities,  and says starting their tour in Northern Manitoba shows how much they care about people in this part of the province.
