The Manitoba Metis Federation (MMF) has been constructing two new buildings on Main Street in Dauphin and is updating the community on their progress.
Construction is currently underway on their main office, which will include a pharmacy and a gym, and is set to be completed by December.
The federation is also looking to complete their new child care building by August.
MMF President David Chartrand says the new additions will add many job opportunities in the city.
“Their projection in the two buildings is to see 75 to 100 full-time employment positions taking place.”
Chartrand says he’s quite happy with the progress so far.
“I’m quite amazed; they sent us updates on where the building’s state is. It’s quite amazing to watch how fast they put in the foundation. Next thing you know you have a building. We’re making impacts in many of these towns and villages and I’m very pleased with the reception we’ve received from the mayor. I’m very pleased with the enthusiasm.”
Chartrand adds that while he is very pleased with the investments into Dauphin, they’re working on expanding projects into smaller rural communities.
