On CTV , gesticulating wildly, about my frustration w/ debate over 2030 vs 2032 completion date for North End Sewage plant when three levels of govt still need to allocate all of the funds for the $1B construction cost.

Once again this year, MSBA is pleased to be partnering with Brian Mayes
and CMHA MB and Wpg
to offer the Mark Dickof Memorial Scholarship Award. The deadline to apply is MAY 24, 2024. For more information and to apply for the award, please visit mbschoolboards.ca/about/awards/

Thx to Free Press for accurately quoting my concern that instead of debating completion date for North End Sewage plant work to help Lake Winnipeg, we should be focussing on need for three levels of govt to actually allocate funds for the $1b work.
