The Portage la Prairie RCMP Detachment has been granted $25,000.00 from the Premier and Attorney General of Manitoba. All of the funds will be invested into the HUB Program, which aims to bring crime down throughout the city. Inspector Jared St. Pierre explains the funds will go towards developing the HUB table representative, as well as further training initiatives. Portage la Prairie Mayor Irvine Ferris expressed extreme gratitude toward the grant.

"We're very grateful to the Provincial and Federal Governments for making this investment in our community," says Ferris. "We view this investment as a big step towards improving public safety for all of us here in Portage."

 The RCMP Detachment and Ferris are confident the grant will make a difference in Portage.
