Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/07/2021 (678 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.

Thanks to the efforts of many Manitobans to follow public health orders over the past year and a half, Manitoba has achieved its second holiday vaccine milestone of the 4-3-2-One Great Summer re-opening path nearly a month ahead of schedule, meaning more than 75 per cent of eligible Manitobans have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and more than 50 per cent of people have received both doses.  
Public health officials have recommended that at least one incubation period should pass between changing public health orders.  As a result, new public health were issued on July 14 to reflect the immunization milestone achieved. Per capita, Manitoba continues to be first in the country in the total number of doses administered and percentage of eligible people aged 12 or older who are immunized at 129,222 per 100,000 and 51.1 per cent respectively. 
On the local front, I am pleased to announce local recipients of the Building Sustainable Communities Grant program located in the constituency of Red River North.
I am proud to highlight our Progressive Conservative government’s investments in local projects that will help build thriving sustainable communities for everyone’s benefit. These grants will help economy beyond the pandemic. The Building Sustainable Communities Program has been expanded for 2021 with up to $13 million available to support 305 community development projects from across the province. Selected project recipients in the constituency of Red River North include:
• Beaches of 59, train signage project. $7,875;
• Red River Trail Association, Great Trail Parking Project , $29,964
• Red River Trail Association, Grand Marais greenway safe crossing, $20,000
• RM of East St Paul, arena air project, $15,000
Our government values our partnership with not-for-profit organizations and municipal governments as we work together to build thriving, sustainable communities and I wish you much success with your projects.
