Not sure who keeps up the Trans Canada Trail within town limits, but whoever does deserves a great big Thumbs UP. We are extremely lucky in Neepawa to have such a great town to walk around in, from our shady streets with their well kept houses and yards, to the trails that have been kept clean and mowed.
The Trans Canada Trail is one of our favourite trails to walk and it’s kept up beautifully year round.

Neepawa Town Council Tuesday, June 21
Neepawa has made changes to its community grants program. The revised document has created six varieties of grant availability; Direct Award, Strategic Plans, In-Kind Contributions, Special Events, Community Events and Micro Grants. Mayor Adrian de Groot said Town Council agreed to the revisions, which it believes will clarify which organizations are eligible for the program and in which category.
