New Lac du Bonnet Firehall Tender Awarded
Miller Management of Winnipeg won the $257 198 contract to build Lac du Bonnet's new firehall with site prep starting in September. Extras budgeted at forty thousand dollars may be only partially used while costs will be shared equally by the RM and the Village. The old fireball will be replaced at a new location with an $8 000 annual heating bill. Glenboro Hospital hunts for a second doctor as Dr Morton notes the government limits foreign trained graduates and rural service. A visiting candidate in September could move the search forward though rural staffing may remain lengthy.
