A number of community projects in East St. Paul are set to receive a boost from the provincial government.<\/div>\n
On Aug. 9, St. Paul MLA Ron Schuler announced $37,102 in provincial funding for four community projects by way of the Community Places, Partner 4 Growth, and Hometown Manitoba and programs.<\/div>\n
“Projects like these make our communities stronger and improve the quality of life for Manitoba families,” Schuler said in a statement<\/div>\n
“East St. Paul Council appreciates the ongoing support from the Province of Manitoba for the many projects that make a difference in our community,” East St. Paul mayor Shelley Hart stated.  “Updating our facilities and enhancing the beauty of our open spaces is an ongoing commitment of council on behalf of our residents.”  <\/div>\n
The East St. Paul Arena (266 Hoddinott Rd.) change room roof and the privacy coverings between arena and hall are set to be replaced. Provincial funding for those enhancements totals $15,402, while $10,033 has been pledged to replace the East St. Paul daycare’s HVAC system.<\/div>\n
Greenspace development — including installing new benches and garbage and recycling containers along Hoddinott Road — will receive $5,000 in provincial funding. An additional $5,000 has been promised to pay for tree planting.<\/div>\n
“We’ve had some trees that have died along Southlands, so we’ll be replacing those trees,” Hart explained, adding a few trees will also be added to a lot near Birds Hill Road and Roseneath Avenue.<\/div>\n
Another $1,667 has been set aside for Main Street enhancements in Birds Hill.<\/div>\n
In a separate project earlier this summer, forty silver birch trees were planted along Raleigh Street, where a new active transportation pathway will connect to the AT pathway in Winnipeg beneath the new Perimeter Highway interchange.<\/div>\n
“We want to do some special things on that path,” Hart said.<\/div>\n
The province also contributed $94,350 to East St. Paul’s Dutch elm disease management program this year. That funding was announced in July.<\/div>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":275248561,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"_classifai_error":"","_classifai_text_to_speech_error":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"education-subject":[],"media-literacy-topic":[],"post_topic":[],"content_type":[24],"class_list":["post-490822541","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-herald"],"acf":{"short_title":"","seo_title":"","deck":"","story_tag":"","byline":"Sheldon Birnie","updates":null},"apple_news_notices":[],"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/winnipegfreepress.com\/our-communities\/herald\/2018\/08\/14\/community-projects-receive-funding","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Community projects receive funding","url":"http:\/\/www.winnipegfreepress.com\/our-communities\/herald\/2018\/08\/14\/community-projects-receive-funding","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/www.winnipegfreepress.com\/our-communities\/herald\/2018\/08\/14\/community-projects-receive-funding"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.winnipegfreepress.com\/our-communities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/sb-esp-funding-supplied-Aug22.jpg?w=150&h=150&crop=1","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.winnipegfreepress.com\/our-communities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/sb-esp-funding-supplied-Aug22.jpg"},"articleSection":"The Herald","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"feedloaderapi"}],"creator":["feedloaderapi"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Our Communities","logo":""},"keywords":[],"dateCreated":"2018-08-14T14:23:00Z","datePublished":"2018-08-14T14:23:00Z","dateModified":"2018-08-14T14:28:01Z"},"rendered":"
