Doubt Casts Future On The Pas Friendship Centre
Walter Hlady of Citizenship and Immigration warned The Pas that federal grants totaling 4500 may end if town support does not increase. The exchange notes 9000 total funding split 4500 from government and 4500 from the province, with The Pas already cutting the municipal levy by 350. The piece argues the centre is misunderstood and calls for broader local backing while noting the school tax levy remains binding.
