The Town of Neepawa is conducting a survey about the upcoming budget. They did it last year as well and it’s a good thing. Having served on Neepawa council twice and having attended countless council, community and committee meetings over decades of time, I can appreciate why the council is doing the survey. In one way or another, councils in all towns and RMs conduct surveys one on one or in the coffee shop or in this case with an actual survey.

Recently, Canadian cattle producers have found themselves in the crosshairs of such marketing campaigns.

The Town of Neepawa’s new snow removal contracts are signed, sealed and delivered. On Tuesday, Dec. 5, council approved the agreements with two local companies, P. Baker and Rob Smith and Son. The deals with those companies will result in the town being split into two snow removal sections, with Mountain Avenue serving as the mid-point. Pat Baker will clear snow from the west side of Neepawa, as well as Mountain Avenue itself, while the east side will be handled by Rob Smith and Son.
