Dig-All Construction has begun mobilizing its equipment on the former CN property. The Winkler-based company was selected earlier this month to install a new trunk sewer in the area, as part of a massive infrastructure project planned by the Town of Neepawa. Dig-All had the lowest bid, at $605,400 plus tax. Work on the first phase of the project will likely start in early May.

This robin was one of about 100 that recently gathered on the lawn at Aspen Lea just before a snowfall a couple weeks ago. He was one of several who found his dinner there.
