Due to an enthusiastic response from Manitobans to the provincial home and business security rebate, the NDP government is expanding its funding of the initiative this summer.

The turbulent and controversial rollout of the Winnipeg Metro Region’s (WMR) Plan20-50 continued apace on Tuesday, August 20, with several key story developments.

Just weeks before the start of another school year, educational administrators across Manitoba have received a new directive from the province: student cellphone use is to be banned in classrooms.

Mere weeks ago, the term “Plan20-50” would have meant nothing of significance to most residents of southeastern Manitoba. Today it has become one of the most controversial subjects possible.

Almost one week after hundreds filled the Heritage Centre in opposition to Plan20-50, the Town of Niverville has made public their intent to oppose it as well.

During these hot, dry summer days of August, the RM of Ritchot wants to remind residents to pay heed to their water consumption from now until September 30.
