The governments of Canada and Saskatchewan continue to invest in infrastructure. On July 13, Jim Carr, Minister and Special Representative for the Prairies and Saskatchewan’s Minister of Government Relations, Don McMorris announced more than $6.8 million in joint funding for 12 infrastructure projects across the province including three local Rural Municipalities.
This funding will go toward replacing culverts and bridges across Saskatchewan that have reached the end of their service life. Rural bridges are key to the ability to efficiently move goods and services on the local transportation network. Replacing culverts reduces the risk of flooding, improves road conditions, and results in a more reliable rural road network.

Meanwhile, the R.M. of Insinger will also get 500-thousand dollars, to replace existing Wolf’s bridge with a new steel structure.
