CN has tabbed roughly $165 million for capital projects in Manitoba this year.
Track maintenance and upgrades to improve rail yard operations are included in the budget, a Thursday news release from the company reads.
The chunk of cash is part of CN’s promise to spend $3.4 billion on capital projects throughout North America. Approximately $2.9 billion has been allocated to maintenance and infrastructure initiatives across Canada and the United States.
Around 2,269 Manitobans are CN employees. The business operates 860 railroad route miles in the province.
Lazer Grant merges with MNP
Winnipeg-based accounting firm Lazer Grant is joining one of Canada’s largest national professional services companies.
Starting July 1, Lazer Grant’s partners and 40 staff will join MNP. The latter business has more than 150 locations and provides accounting, consulting, tax and digital services.
In a news release, MNP’s regional managing partner for Winnipeg said the merger showcases MNP’s commitment to investing in the city.
MNP began in 1958. Lazer Grant was founded in 1982.
