A local group of citizens continue to do everything possible to look at ways to expand the walking path in Portage la Prairie. Vice Chair of the Portage Bike and Walking Path Committee Brad Poole says they are arranging a public meeting on the subject for April 2nd at the North Memorial School. he says it will explore the history of this project & what the path system could look like.

Poole says the group is exploring a few ideas for financing, ranging from grant applications on a provincial and federal level to local fundraising, such as the recent Bail and Jail Fundraiser.  He says an expanded path would serve many purposes and would ultimately connect all of Portage la Prairie.
