On Monday, August 13, MLA Shannon Martin of the Morris constituency announced government funding for several key local projects through Manitoba’s Green Team program.

The monies will help fund grounds maintenance for the Ste. Agathe Community Development Corporation, as well as grounds construction and beautification for child and youth recreation in the Town of Niverville.

“Our Progressive Conservative government is proud to support Green Team projects in communities and provincial parks across the province, including right here in the Morris constituency,” said Martin. “In addition to conserving and enhancing Manitoba’s natural beauty, these programs also provide summer employment to over 1,200 young Manitobans.”

The Manitoba Government has provided over $5.4 million to support more than 700 community organizations, municipalities, and provincial parks that are delivering Green Team projects this summer.
