By Lorne Stelmach
The regional wastewater treatment project is fi nally a go for Winkler and Stanley, with the federal government offi cially coming on board last week. Representatives of the three levels of government confi rmed Friday their funding commitments to the new $73 million wastewater system for the two municipalities. Left out of it for now is the City of Morden, though offi cials all noted that this is the fi rst phase of a two stage project (see story on Pg. 4). A possible timeline for Morden’s part of SUPPLIED PHOTO it was not available. Federal, provincial, and local offi cials gathered virtually and in person in Winnipeg last week to announce “Work continues on certain parts of funding for Winkler-Stanley’s new regional wastewater treatment facilities. that project ... it is an application in two phases,” said Morden-Winkler it effectively,” Winkler Mayor Mar- vesting more than $25.2 million in vironmental requirements and pro- MLA Cameron Friesen. “The process tin Harder said in welcoming the this project, the Province of Mani- vide increased regional capacity for is underway in respect of Morden’s announcement.“There is a signifi cant toba is contributing over $21 million, wastewater treatment. application for similar wastewater amount of development momentum and Winkler and Stanley together are Representing Catherine McKenna, expansion and upgrades, and we an- in our community.
