Hey there, time traveller!

The provincial government is accepting applications for the efficient trucking grant program aimed at decreasing greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector.
This is the second round of applications for these grants which have included rebates up to 50 per cent for fuel-saving technology and retrofits for heavy-duty vehicles.
“One-third of greenhouse-gas emissions in our province comes from the transportation sector, so we work closely with our important partners in this industry in the effort to reduce them,” said Conservation and Climate Minister Sarah Guillemard.
Funding for the program is matched by the province and the federal government’s low-carbon fund, with each contributing $5.9 million.
“The Manitoba Trucking Association is pleased to see this program continue and allow more operators to take part in the initiative,” said Terry Shaw, executive director of the Manitoba Trucking Association.
Applications will be accepted until March 31.
