The recent warm weather has allowed golf enthusiasts to get back out on the greens, as the Neepawa Golf & Country Club (NGCC) has opened for the summer.

Cameron said that has allowed the course to come into form a bit quicker than usual.

We look forward to the opportunity to turn those commitments into reality. We know the job ahead of us will not be easy, but this is the right team to get Manitoba back on track.” The new executive council represents a one-third reduction in the size of Manitoba’s cabinet, setting a new tone at the top in conducting government business for Manitobans, Pallister said.
