Moosomin was in line to receive $161,837 in gas tax on a per capita basis this year, but will receive an additional $164,717 on top of that, for a total of $326,554. The funds are from the federal gas tax, but more has been collected than projected, so the federal government has provided gas tax top-ups to municipalities for the last two years. In 2020, Moosomin received $161,837 in gas tax fund- ing. This year the town received another $161,837 in gas tax funding and $164,717 in the top-up. The town will receive $169,517 in gas tax funding in each of 2022 and 2023, and $176,100 in 2024. The $164,717 wasn’t included in the 2021 budget, as the An example of a federal government had announced there would be a top- up but the amount wasn’t known until recently.

That means that for six months of the year or more, snow can pile up on streets, highways, your driveway, and condo- minium and apartment exit ramps. And if you take a trip beyond urban Canada any time of the year, it sometimes helps to have a sturdy vehicle that manoeu- vres well in case of a late or early snowfall. That might explain, along with work necessities for many Canadians—such as hauling tools and equipment—why four RIWKHÀYHPRVWSRSXODUYHKLFOHVLQ&DQDGDDUHWUXFNVRU689V Many people need a vehicle that beats back winter and can haul their kids to hockey and much else.

Monday, August 30, 2021 In Wawota Street party, slo pitch tournament, pancake breakfast coming up this weekend BY KARA KINNA Wawota is getting ready to party this weekend. This Friday, September 3, there will be a free street dance and brisket on a bun in Wawota, followed by a pan- cake breakfast and slow pitch tournament on Saturday, September 4. The street dance is being hosted by the Wawota Hotel, and will feature live music by the band Ragged Edge. Everything is free—the band and the brisket on a bun— except for the drinks, and all expenses for the event are being covered by the Wawota Hotel. Brisket on a bun will be served starting at 5:30 pm and the band will hit the stage at 9:30 pm. Everything will take place in front of the Wawota Hotel. There will also be a designated driving service available for that night. Then on Saturday, the Wawota Lions Club will be host- ing a pancake at 9 am at the ball diamonds followed by a slo pitch tournament that day. Tanya Brisbois, who is helping to organize the event, says the idea to have a street dance and slow pitch tourna- ment came up on the spur of the moment while chatting with family members. “My daughter (Marley Hamilton) owns the hair and gift shop in Wawota and my son (Tyler Brisbois) is part owner of the hotel along with Barb Dixon, and we were just sitting around the pool with the kids, and with Covid and no Heritage Days this year, we just kind of thought this would be cool to do, and that’s what started it,” she says. “It just kind of happened and went from there. There was no major planning, it was just like ‘let’s do this.’ “Nobody has done anything recently because of Co- vid. My son has only been there for a year at the bar, and people stuck through it regardless of what was going on with Covid. A lot of places ended up having to close their doors because of Covid and people stuck with them through the whole thing, and it’s kind of a way to give back to them.” Brisbois adds that one of the band members in the The band Ragged Edge, above, will be performing at the street party planned for this Friday, Ragged Edge is originally from Wawota, and her daugh- September 3 in Wawota. ter is involved in slo pitch, so the plan came together to have a slo pitch tournament that weekend as well.

Monday, August 30, 2021 All candidates meeting set for Sept. 14 in Moosomin A federal election all candidates meeting for the Souris- Moose Mountain riding has been set for Tuesday, Sep- tember 14 in Moosomin. All candidates in the Souris-Moose Mountain riding have been invited to the meeting. As of press time Friday, Conservative candidate Robert Kitchen and Maverick FDQGLGDWH*UHJ'RXJODVKDGFRQÀUPHGWKHLUDWWHQGDQFH Other candidates in the riding include Javin Ames-Sin- clair for the Liberals, Richard Reed for the Greens, and Diane Neufeld for the PPC.

As of press time Friday it was unclear whether Shir- ley Lambrecht, announced as the Green Party candi- date for the riding, which includes St. Lazare, McAu- ley, Manson, Russell, Bins- carth and surrounding areas in Manitoba, would actually be nominated. Lambrecht, who was one of three candidates for the Green nomination in Co- wichan-Malahat-Langford on Vancouver Island, and who lost that nomination August 20, put out a call Thursday for someone to help collect signatures in Dauphin-Swan River- Neepawa, offering “$150 (ie a buck a signature)” to anyone who could help. The deadline to collect those signatures was Au- gust 28. Several parties have been slow off the mark in nominating candidates in the four local ridings— Souris-Moose Mountain and Yorkton-Melville, and Brandon-Souris and Dau- phin-Swan River-Neepa- wa. The NDP, which finished second in Souris-Moose Mountain in 2019, still had not nominated a candidate in the riding as of Friday.
