The Town of Neepawa’s new snow removal contracts are signed, sealed and delivered. On Tuesday, Dec. 5, council approved the agreements with two local companies, P. Baker and Rob Smith and Son. The deals with those companies will result in the town being split into two snow removal sections, with Mountain Avenue serving as the mid-point. Pat Baker will clear snow from the west side of Neepawa, as well as Mountain Avenue itself, while the east side will be handled by Rob Smith and Son.
