On June 17, Neepawa’s Beautiful Plains Museum held their annual hot dog sale fundraiser. Held in front of the County Court House, board members Allan Drysdale (left) and Jim Baker were kept busy cooking up hotdogs for the crowd. The fundraiser is to benefit the museum’s antique fire truck, a 1942 model seen in the background.
New public road, rejected grants discussed at Council meeting Neepawa council briefs By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner CPP rejects Neepawa requests The Town of Neepawa has received an update on its submissions to the Community Places Grant. Council was informed on Tuesday, June 16, that all three of the Town’s applications were rejected. The proposals included a request for $16,260.00 to aid with the building of a structure around the filtration system at swimming pool, $6,105.00 for improvements at the Bird Sanctuary and $7,951.00 to assist with the creation of an off-leash dog park. On a separate application, the Neepawa & District Drop-in Centre asked for $3000.00
to assist with the purchase of automatic door openers. That application was approved. The objective of the Community Place Program is to provide funding and planning assistance to non-profit community organizations for facility construction, upgrading, expansion or acquisition projects. Eligible projects are those which provide sustainable recreation and wellness benefits to communities.
Transient Trader Pilot Project approved An application has been approved by Neepawa Town Council to allow a vendor to sell frozen novelties out of a mobile ice cream truck. The vendor can sell ice cream near the swimming pool property, as long as it meets the required insurance and health inspection requirements. An exact date for when the vendor will be operational is not known at this time.
New road east of Neepawa Council for the Town of Neepawa have approved the creation of a new public road. The road already exists behind the new Rocky Mountain Equipment building east of town in the industrial park, but will simply be opened for public use.
Preparation underway for Canada Day An application by the Town of Neepawa to the Celebrate Canada Grant has been approved. The Town will receive $2045.00 to assist with preparations. Leisure Services will be co-ordinating fireworks and beyond that, organizations will be encouraged to plan entertainment and activities.
