As the new year approaches, Neepawa Council is starting to plan for the future.

Mayor Adrian de Groot says they would like to see tangible results by putting the shovel in the ground for their fire hall and force main sewer system. He explains those capital projects will put them closer to creating the vision they have for their community.

de Groot says another project they would like to put some traction on is a sustainability plan for Park Lake. He notes Neepawa is lucky enough to have a natural feature and they want to care for it and preserve it for future youth.
