The Hudson Bay Route Association Conference and AGM took place in Prince Albert at the beginning of November.

A number of communities and associations were represented from all over Manitoba and Saskatchewan,  including Flin Flon Deputy Mayor Heather Richardson who was there to represent the City of Flin Flon.

Richardson said they talked about a number of topics including some really exciting news for the North. " Premier Scott Moe was there talking about working together with Manitoba and Saskatchewan,  and how they are going to advocate on behalf the Port of Churchill with both business and investments.  They want to get more of the roads and rail lines upgraded and infrastructure every where up graded, so that way we can make sure it is a happening thing for both Saskatchewan and Manitoba."

Richardson also went on to say that they are going to be working very hard to have both the Manitoba and Saskatchewan Governments come together on this Port of Churchill project.
