There will be some new names on the backs of Neepawa Natives’ jerseys this weekend, as the club has made a pair of trades. The team has dealt 18-year-old forward Nathan Hillis to the Selkirk Steelers in exchange for 19-year-old goaltender Evan Robert and the MJHL list rights for 17-year-old defensemen Troy Earl. In a separate deal, Neepawa also acquired 18-year-old forward Braeden Binda from the Winkler Flyers in exchange for future considerations.

The event is a chance for entrepreneurs to build connections with other individuals and organizations, as well as pitch their ideas to the public and a panel of judges for their chance to win cash awards.

The Neepawa Area Planning District is re-jigging its development plan. Re-jigging the plan is complicated by the fact that North Cypress-Langford is no longer part of the district and the rejigged plan is years overdue (as are most things in governments at any level).
