$100.000.00 in provincial money is being directed toward the Long Lake Drain project.

It's part of four million going to drainage projects province-wide, and is good news for RM of Portage Reeve Jim Knight. The Long Lake Drain flows through the RM, and he's certain improvements will make a difference for residents.

Knight points out when the Assiniboine backs up into Long Lake now, the water often can't escape, and causes problems for property owners.

He adds High Bluff and Poplar Point should see significant improvement.
