Province grants $300,000 for pool, over $11,000 for Langruth park
By Kira Paterson Neepawa Banner & Press The Municipality of WestLake-Gladstone got a rather large injection of funding for two recreational projects recently. On Friday, June 18, the Manitoba government announced a round of grants from their Building Sustainable Communities fund, with $300,000 going to the construction of a new pool in Gladstone and $11,583 going to upgrades at the Langruth Einarson Park & Campground. Nicole Sellers, recreation director for WestLakeGladstone, noted that these grants were applied for earlier this year by herself and A ndrea Smith, of the municipality’s finance department. “Building Sustainable Communities has been a huge contributor in enhancing many projects within the Municipality of WestLake-Gladstone in the past and we have built a great relationship with them,” Sellers stated.
