The provincial government is pumping six figures into Flin Flon’s roads. The City of Flin Flon has received $100,000 for its road repair program through the province’s Municipal Road Improvement Program.
The program, which provides funding on a 50/50 cost-shared basis, will dole out $857,500 to northern Manitoba communities this year. This includes Thompson ($400,000), Northern Affairs communities ($250,000), Churchill ($60,000) and Snow Lake ($47,500).
Northern Manitoba will receive seven per cent of the program’s total funding of $11.99 million this year. Municipalities must apply for funding through the program. Projects are then considered based on outcomes such as improved public safety and extended asset life.
