Monday marks a special anniversary for Portagers. Mayor Irvine Ferris outlines its historic nature.

"The City of Portage la Prairie was incorporated as a City on February 13, 1907. That makes us 110-years-old," Ferris explains. "So, Monday is our 110th birthday. There was a lot of forward-planning done by the City fathers way back in 1907 so we could have this on a council night," he adds with tongue-in-cheek.

The Mayor notes you can drop by City Hall on Monday and enjoy a cupcake in honour of the anniversary. A cake will also be available during Monday night's council meeting.
