The province is doling out approximately $900,000 to improve recreational trails around the province.
The money comes from the first round of applications for the 2020-2021 Trails Manitoba Grant Program, Conservation and Climate Minister Sarah Guillemard said in a press release.
“Our government is committed to affordable outdoor recreational opportunities, which have become increasingly popular in recent times,” Guillemard said.
“Outdoor recreation is important for maintaining physical and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic and this investment will support the development and maintenance of new trails across our province.”
Trails Manitoba chose the 35 projects. The funding is part of a $10 million provincial investment in partnership with Trails Manitoba and the Winnipeg Foundation.
In Westman, trails near Killarney received $24,583 for a new trail system, improvements to Langford-Neepawa Winter Park received $1,700, and a trail project at the International Peace Garden received $25,000. The Russell Trail and Bydak Trail rehabilitation project also received $10,000.

More trail program funding in Winnipeg is set to be announced at a later date, according to a press release.
