2:09 p.m. Province fast tracks funding to municipalities due to COVID-19 challenges
The province is speeding up the pace of funding to Manitoba municipalities to help with the unprecedented economic challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Municipal Relations Minister Rochelle Squires announced today.
“Many Manitobans are facing tough financial times and our government has committed to flowing faster a large portion of municipal funding grants in recognition of immediate pressures that municipalities are facing as a result of COVID-19,” said Squires. “We want to provide certainty to municipalities to help maintain critical essential services such as emergency personnel, even as we face unprecedented financial pressure as a provincial government.”
The province is flowing 75 per cent of its municipal operating grants directly to municipalities, with the remainder to be provided in the fall.
