The Minnedosa Youth Soccer Association is one

Through the latest round of Community Places
approvals over $3 million is being invested in recreational, cultural and community facilities around
the province. Since 1986, more than 7,500 community-lead projects have benefi ted from more than
$115 million being invested back to Manitoba communities.
Community groups provide the essential
recreational and social facilities and programs in
neighbourhoods across Manitoba, said Manitoba
Housing and Community Development Minister Mohinder Saran during Mondays funding announcement. This year, we are pleased to support
216 projects which will ensure Manitobans can continue to benefit from recreation and wellness opportunities close to home.
