One Parkland-based organization and a local municipality are among the initial recipients of funding through the Manitoba Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Fund.
The Swan Valley Sports Fishing Enhancement group is getting $2,650, while the R-M of Harrison Park - which is just south of Riding Mountain National Park - receives $51,000.
The grant was first introduced in April of this year, and is handing out close to $400,000 to six organizations in rural Manitoba during this initial intake.
The grant helps get AIS prevention resources to partners across the province.
The intake process for 2026 funding will begin this fall.
