MHCA acknowledges it is located on Treaty One land and the homeland of the Metis Nation

Crumbling roads, highways focus of Winnipeg Free Press supplement

 

Did you hear about the handi-transit bus that fell into a sinkhole just off Point Drive? No joke.

MHCA President Chris Lorenc writes about the sinkhole – and the gutting of Winnipeg’s residential street repair budget – in the MHCA’s spring 2019 edition of its biannual Winnipeg Free Press supplement: High Cost of Decay – Our economy suffers when road budgets get slashed.

The 16-page supplement will be on the doorsteps of the 100,000+ Free Press subscribers this Saturday (April 6).

This is one of MHCA’s best supplements yet, with articles about the impact of highway budget cuts on Manitoba’s trade profile and economy, the federal update to Ottawa’s infrastructure investment program and WORKSAFELY’s 30 years of safety excellence.

You can click here to read the supplement now. It will be posted on the Winnipeg Free Press website for a year, promoted from the front page for the next three months. We hope you give it a read. (The MHCA has emailed the supplement to its 400+ members, stakeholder partners in Manitoba and political offices.)

Please tweet this link out, and email it to your colleagues and contact list. It is imperative that Manitobans know the critical role that sustained, strategic investment in core infrastructure plays in our economy.

If you can display this supplement in your lobby, we would be happy to send you some copies. Please email us if we can courier a package to your office.
