The province will make a major announcement today at the Legislature at 1 p.m.

It's being characterized as a significant investment in the province's agricultural future. European-based food processor Roquette is part of the announcement.

It's possible the Portage la Prairie area could be impacted, as both RM Reeve Kam Blight and Mayor Irvine Ferris will attend.

Neither can confirm what the announcement pertains to, but have expressed excitement about what it may mean for the area.

We'll have reports from the Legislature later this afternoon.
