Portage la Prairie seeks provincial funding to expand regional landfill
What happened
Three municipal partners, including the City of Portage la Prairie, are seeking $1.5 million in provincial funding to expand the Portage la Prairie Regional Landfill. The proposed project, which is estimated to cost $3.37 million, would add a fourth landfill cell, providing approximately 20 years of additional capacity.

Why it matters
The expansion is necessary because the existing landfill facility is nearing its designed capacity. Mayor Knox stated that the city is preparing for future regional waste-management needs since the landfill receives waste from other locations.
