The Manitoba government is allocating over $34 million over two years to help alleviate transit operating shortfalls related to reduced ridership caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and to address affordable housing supply and density.
The Manitoba government is proactively introducing the Official Time Amendment Act, which would allow the province to consider adopting permanent daylight saving time should neighbouring jurisdictions enact similar legislation and the majority of Manitobans support this change.
In recognition of the important work of local officials, the Manitoba government is officially proclaiming Nov. 21 to 25 as the second annual Municipal Government Awareness Week and inviting applications for two collaborative programs with local governments that strengthen the province for all Manitobans.
