The provincial government has provided over 6 million dollars in grants various projects in Manitoba.
203 municipalities, non-profit, and community-led organizations across the province had grants accepted.
Murray Leonards, president of the Dauphin and District Snowmobile Club says they received $67,505.
“To receive that grant money, for the groomer, for the club, and I think for the area, was just awesome. It’s just great to get that support and help for the club because we’re not a big money-making bunch of guys.”
Leonards says this will allow them to groom the trails better and that they now have two 2011 groomers.
