Hey there, time traveller!

A pair of projects in Rossburn are among those selected by the provincial government to share in funding from the Waste Reduction and Pollution Prevention Fund.
The Rossburn Elementary School will get nearly $4,300 to produce compost for the school garden using worms. And the RM of Rossburn will have $5,500 to support regional waste planning for the communities within the Riding Mountain Biosphere.
They were among 13 projects that will be supported from the fund, which was announced yesterday by Conservation Minister Dave Chomiak. A total of $154,793 in grants were announced.
“These creative local initiatives encourage waste reduction and help our environment, and I’m pleased we’’re able to support their efforts,” Chomiak said in a press release.
One of the showcase initiatives is an effort to take wood that’s headed for landfills and turn it instead into flooring and furniture. A $25,000 grant will help Winnipeg company Wood Anchor reclaim that waste wood.
